Feedback return (for on-time submissions) Tuesday, 18 December 2018 Wednesday, 6 February 2019 Journal Entry 1 and Journal Entry 2.1 Requirements The purpose of Journal Entry 1 and Entry 2.1 is to consider the issues examined in class and in the weekly reading for the topics studied, and use this understanding to write a reflective summary. A reflective summary is not simply a summary of the reading. Reflective thinking requires you to consider the key points and issues and to critically evaluate and apply them. Each journal entries 1 and 2.1 should include the following content (clearly organised under three headings below): Page 3 of 8 1. Learning What have I learnt (i.e., what was new/different for me)? Reflection on learning from lecture, seminar and assigned reading for the topic. 2. Critique How relevant is the topic of study? This should include a discussion of strengths and weaknesses of the key theories/ideas/concepts for the topic. You will need to make reference to at least one of the assigned journal readings for the topic. 3. Reflection To what extent do the concepts/ideas and theories reflect what happens in my workplace? (If you are not currently working, then reflect upon a previous place of employment or an organisation with which you are familiar such as a sport club). How can I make use of this learning in a future situation? For this section, you may choose to focus on one or two aspects of the topic. Journal 2.2 Requirements Note that Journal Entry 2.2 does not require you to follow the contents and structure of Journal Entries 1 and 2.1. You are suggested to select a couple of key aspects in relevant topics that you have learned in this unit (MMM240) to: 1) demonstrate your ability to provide evidence of skills and experience, using a range of relevant examples from both formal course experiences and extra- curricular activities (e.g., experiences working in a group assignment or part-time job experience); and 2) show awareness of your own learning, skills and experience; and how this can be used to promote yourselves concisely and persuasively to potential employers. Written Presentation Requirements The required learning journal entry should adhere to the following: • Each learning journal entry must be typed, using 12-point font and a line spacing of 1.5. • Pages should be numbered. • Clearly indicate topic covered for Journal Entries 1 and 2.1. Include your name, student ID number, and word count at the top of the first page. • Clear content and headings for Journal Entries 1 and 2.1: you are required to organise the journal under the content headings above (i.e., Learning, Critique and Reflection). • Reference List: For the Journal Entries 1 and 2.1, you are required to cite the assigned journal article(s) that you have used from your chosen Topic. The assigned readings for each Topic are available on the online Reading List. You might not need to cite any references for Journal Entry 2.2. You must correctly use the Harvard style of referencing. Useful information and guidance on referencing can be found on the Academic Skills website or by following the links in the Assessment area on the Unit Site. • Please note that each journal entry should meet the word limit (i.e., approximately 500 words for each topic in a journal). Too much longer or shorter than the word limit will affect your marks. • This must be your own original reflection, created for this Unit only. You can self-check the originality of your work through Turnitin before submitting your Journal Entries. See instructions on how to do so here. http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support/referencing/harvard http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/help/about-clouddeakin/help-guides/assessment/plagiarism Page 4 of 8 As this is a reflective exercise, you may write in the first person (use of “I” is ok; for example, “I think that the manipulation of corporate culture plays an important role at my place of work because …”). The learning journal entry should be set out in paragraph writing (i.e., no dot points or “lists”). Submission Instructions Each journal entry is to be submitted online in the provided, individual assignment submission area on the Unit Site (Note: there will be a separate submission area for each of the journal entries.) A single attachment with the required content should be submitted. You must keep a backup copy of every assignment you submit, until the marked assignment has been returned to you. In the unlikely event that one of your assignments is misplaced, you will need to submit your backup copy. Any work you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting collusion and/or plagiarism. When you are required to submit an assignment through the Unit Site, you will receive an email to your Deakin email address confirming that it has been submitted. You should check that you can see your assignment in the Submissions view of the Assignment dropbox folder after upload, and check for, and keep, the email receipt for the submission. Notes • Penalties for late submission: The following marking penalties will apply if you submit an assessment task after the due date without an approved extension: 5% will be deducted from available marks for each day up to five days, and work that is submitted more than five days after the due date will not be marked. You will receive 0% for the task. 'Day' means working day for paper submissions and calendar day for electronic submissions. The Unit Chair may refuse to accept a late submission where it is unreasonable or impracticable to assess the task after the due date. • For more information about academic misconduct, special consideration, extensions, and assessment feedback, please refer to the document Your rights and responsibilities as a student in this Unit in the first folder next to the Unit Guide of the Resources area in the Unit Site. • Building evidence of your experiences, skills and knowledge (Portfolio) – Building a portfolio that evidences your skills, knowledge and experience will provide you with a valuable tool to help you prepare for interviews and to showcase to potential employers.
