a) Online submission
Assessment tasks should be submitted through Turnitin as a Microsoft Word document.
Documents created in the non-Microsoft 'Word Online' software will not be accepted by
Turnitin. Do not submit PDF documents to Turnitin. All UNSW students are able to access
Microsoft Word for free via https://www.myit.unsw.edu.au/software-students
Individual assignments submitted electronically via Turnitin do not require cover sheets.
Ensure that your student ID number is in the top right-hand corner of each page for
individual assignments and the team number, plus student ID of all members, is in the top
right-hand corner of any group assessments.
Full information about how to prepare assignments for electronic submission can be found
in the Turnitin Student Guide: https://student.unsw.edu.au/turnitin
In the unlikely event that a problem should occur when submitting assignments online,
students should make sure to send their assignment to the lecturer in charge before the
deadline and re-submit using Turnitin as soon as the problem is rectified. Assignments not
submitted through Turnitin will not be marked.
b) Referencing style
Harvard In Text Referencing is required for all your assessments.
For the ASB Harvard Referencing Guide, see the ASB Referencing and Plagiarism
webpage (ASB >Learning and Teaching>Student services> Referencing and plagiarism).
Business School Harvard Referencing Guide.
There is software available to you to make referencing easier:
• Word has a built in referencing tool (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-a-
bibliography-3403c027-96c8-40d3-a386-bfd5c413ddbb)
• As a UNSW student you also have free access to using and downloading Endnote on
your computers: https://www.myit.unsw.edu.au/software-students
c) Plagiarism
Students need to familiarise themselves with appropriate referencing standards as well as
what constitutes plagiarism (see https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/degrees-
courses/course-outlines/policies for further details).
If you are unsure, help is available here: https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism. If you
would like further and personalised guidance with regards to the University requirements
and policy around referencing, you can also book a meeting with the Learning Centre
(https://student.unsw.edu.au/individual-consultations-academic-support) who will be able
to provide you with the necessary guidance.
Instances of plagiarism will be referred to the CSI Student Ethics Officer for review and
educative action as appropriate.
Social Entrepreneurship Practicum (UG) 2
Marks will be deducted for inappropriate referencing.
d) Formatting requirements
Times New Roman, 12pt font and 1.5 line spacing is recommended.
e) Feedback
Feedback is taken very seriously. It is the only way students can understand what was
done well and what could have been done better, and therefore learn. Unless it is the final
assessment of the term, feedback on written assessment will be provided within two
weeks of submission, as well as continuously throughout the term during the tutorials or
online. Students are reminded to keep a copy of all work submitted and returned marked
assignments.
Special Consideration, Late Submission and Penalties
You must submit all assignments and attend all examinations scheduled for your course.
You can apply for special consideration when illness or other circumstances beyond your
control, interfere with your performance in a specific assessment task or tasks. Special
Consideration is primarily intended to provide you with an extra opportunity to
demonstrate the level of performance of which you are capable.
Please note the following:
• Applications will not be accepted by teaching staff. The lecturer-in-charge/course
coordinator will be automatically notified when you lodge an online application for
special consideration.
• Decisions and recommendations are only made by lecturers-in-charge/course
coordinators (or by the Faculty Panel in the case of final exam special
considerations), not by tutors.
• Applying for special consideration does not automatically mean that you will be
granted a supplementary exam or other concession.
• Special consideration requests do not allow the awarding of additional marks to
students.
Further information on Business School policy and procedure can be found under 'Special
Consideration' on the Policies and Support page.
Late submissions that have not been approved will be downgraded by 5% for each day
after the due date. This mean that for an assessment worth 30%, you will lose 1.5 marks
each day your assignment is late.
Any piece of assessment not submitted within 10 days of the submission date will receive
a zero (0).
To know more about the special consideration process and assignment extensions, refer
to
https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/degrees-courses/course-outlines/policies
https://student.unsw.edu.au/special-consideration
Is English not your first language?
Support is available to students for whom English is not their first language through the
‘Personalised English Language Enhancement’ course (HUMS1005). This course is
offered by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences from 2017 – see here:
https://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/courses/2021/hums1005/

4 Social Entrepreneurship Practicum (UG)
Assessment 1: Project Scope
Submission due dates: Friday 3 March, 11.59 pm
Weighting: 20% Individual
Maximum length: 1,000 words (+/- 10% maximum variation)
Format: Report
The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate how well you have individually
understood what your client has asked of you, your plan for what your team should do over
the next two months to satisfy the client and what capacity your team has, to complete
these deliverables. Please note that this report should NOT contain solutions for the client.
This report will enable the Lecturer to identify any possible misunderstandings early on and
provide practical guidance on managing your project. This assignment will also support
your group to benefit from the creativity of different ideas when you compare your individual
approaches after submitting your assignments.
More specifically, the project scope should contain the following sections:
Section 1: Understanding the client and the task
Who is your client, what is their social purpose and how do they achieve it? (e.g. what key
aspects of their business model are relevant to understand them)
What challenges do they face, what particular problem are they seeking help with and why
is it important to the client?
What are they asking you to deliver by the end of the project? (Deliverables)
Section 2: Developing a realistic plan/ approach for the project
Based on your understanding thus far, what will your team need to do in the weeks ahead in
order to meet your client’s expectations?
An implementation outline and strategy along with timeline, required resources and any
identified risks (and strategies to overcome the risks);
Various assumptions that are going to be made and possibly challenged during the course
of the project.
Section 3: Knowledge and skills of the team
What knowledge and skills will be required by the team to implement the approach you
recommend and to satisfy your client?
5 Assessment Details
Do these already exist within your team or are there any knowledge/ skills gaps, which will
need to be developed/ accessed?
If all the knowledge and skills exist then please outline how they are were gained, eg what
course did you develop them in? If they need to be developed/ accessed during the course,
then outline how you will do that?
Assessment criteria
A rubric detailing the range of levels of performance for each criterion is

Assessment 3: Client Report
Submission due date: Friday 21 April, 11.59pm
Weighting: 30% (Group)
Maximum Length: Up to 6000 words*
Format: Client Report
Following feedback received during meetings with the client and tasks completed
during the term, each team will develop a final Client Report. The exact format
of the final report will vary based on the deliverables requested by clients but all
reports must include:
• An executive summary.
• A short client and project brief overview.
• Deliverables/recommendations (including insight into the analysis that led your
group to formulate those particular recommendations). This will form the
majority of your report.
• Implementation considerations (relating to the recommendations developed)
including any risks clients should consider.
• In-text referencing and a reference list (as per Harvard Guidelines).
As a client facing report, its presentation and format needs to be of commercial
standard and does not need to comply with typical academic formats (e.g. consider
carefully the choice of font, spacing, headings, location of tables and charts etc.)
The objective is for the content to be accessible to your client.
Please refer https://student.unsw.edu.au/report-writing- support for guidance on how to
write effective reports.
*The word limit for the Client Report is determined by the number of people in your
group: if there are three people, then the report should be 3,000 words; if four
people the report should be 4,000 words. Please note however that you do not have to
use the entire word count if you have been asked to produce deliverables that can not
be quantified in words (i.e marketing plans, videos, brand kits etc).

17 Social Entrepreneurship Practicum (UG)
Assessment 4: Personal & Professional
Development Report
Submission due date: Wednesday 26 April, 11:59 pm
Weighting: 20% (Individual)
Maximum length: 1,000 words (+/- 10%)
Format: Report
Drawing on the knowledge and skills learned or improved throughout the course (including
online modules, class time, and social entrepreneurship client project) students will write a
1,000 word 'Personal and Professional Development Report'. This report should identify,
assess and synthesise the impact COMM3030 has had on their personal and professional
development to date and how they will apply this to their future business practice.
In writing the Personal and Professional Development Report students should address:
• two areas where they have experienced personal growth (preferably skills focus)
• two areas where their business knowledge has improved and been applied
• two areas where they have developed their business skills
This course provides students with multiple opportunities to challenge themselves and increase
their current skills or develop new ones. This is a comparatively safe environment in which to
stretch and grow, particularly in areas that will enhance career prospects. This task
recommends students plan from the beginning to experiment and work on areas they wish to
improve in. This task also mimics career development methodologies used in the workplace
and the expected format of the report provides practice for preparing for interviews.
Task Purpose
The report gives students a chance to reflect, to gain a sense of progress and to set next steps
to ensure ongoing personal and professional development. Link to other assessment tasks The
project brief identifies skills that may be needed or developed during the project. Assessments
1 and 2 invite students to anticipate areas where skill gaps exist and to plan to close them.
Students can actively conduct a skills audit and set themselves a development plan for the
term using material covered in the first few weeks.
Expected format and content
Social Entrepreneurship Practicum (UG) 18
Students are expected to apply what they have learnt about commercial standards and submit
a document that is formatted and structured with the reader in mind. Headings, subheadings,
introduction and conclusion are expected. For each topic area the student cover they should
include a brief explanation of the topic and their prior expertise level, what experiences led to
personal or professional development in these areas, including actions undertaken that
developed their capacity, how they know they have improved, and what the ongoing benefit
and next steps may be. Consideration should be given to whether there are graphical ways to
communicate complex ideas more effectively.
Further information on the Personal and Professional Development Report rationale and
focus
The personal development section gives students an opportunity to consider are they still the
same person as before the experiences of the course or do they have greater insight into
themselves and have they grown as a person in any specific ways? If so, will these insights be
useful in their future endeavours? Since supporting evidence is expected, this content should
move beyond describing an internal feeling and into citing external behaviour change or skill
improvement.
The business knowledge section invites students to consider areas in which their knowledge
and understanding had improved. What have they learnt (models, theories, insights of where
reality differs from theory) that has shifted how they understand business or added a dimension
to how they now analyse things? How will it be useful in their professional lives?
Knowledge is different to skills, and this is a practicum where skills are applied. Business skills
can range from general professional skills such as communication and project management
skills to financial modelling or business planning. Students are invited to consider how their
skills have developed during the term and how they have been used. Perhaps they have
applied or improved a skill and used it to their client’s benefit?
This task also invites students to consider whether these developments will be useful in their
future business endeavours. Some capacity to identify before and after differences and cite
examples/evidence would be well received.
We are looking for the following elements in the reflection report; that the student:
a) had identified clearly six distinct areas of development, preferably aligning neatly with
the categories outlined (personal, business knowledge and business skills).
b) Had briefly described each selected area as it is introduced and shares some context.
c) Demonstrated growth, usually by covering points I – IV below ie:
I. Had provided a baseline of development level in the topic area prior to the
course.
II. Had outlined the insight or challenge that led to potential development
III. Had explained the new behaviour or practice they undertook to apply the
knowledge or practice the skill (action)
IV. Identified and assessed the success or benefit they experienced as a result
of the new input and changed behaviour, that is, identified how circumstances
were improved from baseline due to development (result)
d) Identified next learning steps or tasks to continue to benefit from the development, eg
finessing a skill, determining to practice it again,
e) Identified potential future applications and anticipation of success from applying this
improved skill
f) Synthesised or generalised their insights into broader application and potential benefit
in their future business life or other aspects of their life (Showed how this would be
useful).

Documents created in the non-Microsoft 'Word Online' software will not be accepted by
Turnitin. Do not submit PDF documents to Turnitin. All UNSW students are able to access
Microsoft Word for free via https://www.myit.unsw.edu.au/software-students
Individual assignments submitted electronically via Turnitin do not require cover sheets.
Ensure that your student ID number is in the top right-hand corner of each page for
individual assignments and the team number, plus student ID of all members, is in the top
right-hand corner of any group assessments.
Full information about how to prepare assignments for electronic submission can be found
in the Turnitin Student Guide: https://student.unsw.edu.au/turnitin
In the unlikely event that a problem should occur when submitting assignments online,
students should make sure to send their assignment to the lecturer in charge before the
deadline and re-submit using Turnitin as soon as the problem is rectified. Assignments not
submitted through Turnitin will not be marked.
b) Referencing style
Harvard In Text Referencing is required for all your assessments.
For the ASB Harvard Referencing Guide, see the ASB Referencing and Plagiarism
webpage (ASB >Learning and Teaching>Student services> Referencing and plagiarism).
Business School Harvard Referencing Guide.
There is software available to you to make referencing easier:
• Word has a built in referencing tool (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-a-
bibliography-3403c027-96c8-40d3-a386-bfd5c413ddbb)
• As a UNSW student you also have free access to using and downloading Endnote on
your computers: https://www.myit.unsw.edu.au/software-students
c) Plagiarism
Students need to familiarise themselves with appropriate referencing standards as well as
what constitutes plagiarism (see https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/degrees-
courses/course-outlines/policies for further details).
If you are unsure, help is available here: https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism. If you
would like further and personalised guidance with regards to the University requirements
and policy around referencing, you can also book a meeting with the Learning Centre
(https://student.unsw.edu.au/individual-consultations-academic-support) who will be able
to provide you with the necessary guidance.

educative action as appropriate.
Social Entrepreneurship Practicum (UG) 2
Marks will be deducted for inappropriate referencing.
d) Formatting requirements
Times New Roman, 12pt font and 1.5 line spacing is recommended.
e) Feedback
Feedback is taken very seriously. It is the only way students can understand what was
done well and what could have been done better, and therefore learn. Unless it is the final
assessment of the term, feedback on written assessment will be provided within two
weeks of submission, as well as continuously throughout the term during the tutorials or
online. Students are reminded to keep a copy of all work submitted and returned marked
assignments.
Special Consideration, Late Submission and Penalties
You must submit all assignments and attend all examinations scheduled for your course.
You can apply for special consideration when illness or other circumstances beyond your
control, interfere with your performance in a specific assessment task or tasks. Special
Consideration is primarily intended to provide you with an extra opportunity to
demonstrate the level of performance of which you are capable.
Please note the following:
• Applications will not be accepted by teaching staff. The lecturer-in-charge/course
coordinator will be automatically notified when you lodge an online application for
special consideration.
• Decisions and recommendations are only made by lecturers-in-charge/course
coordinators (or by the Faculty Panel in the case of final exam special
considerations), not by tutors.
• Applying for special consideration does not automatically mean that you will be
granted a supplementary exam or other concession.
• Special consideration requests do not allow the awarding of additional marks to
students.
Further information on Business School policy and procedure can be found under 'Special
Consideration' on the Policies and Support page.
Late submissions that have not been approved will be downgraded by 5% for each day
after the due date. This mean that for an assessment worth 30%, you will lose 1.5 marks
each day your assignment is late.
Any piece of assessment not submitted within 10 days of the submission date will receive
a zero (0).
To know more about the special consideration process and assignment extensions, refer

https://student.unsw.edu.au/special-consideration
Is English not your first language?
Support is available to students for whom English is not their first language through the
‘Personalised English Language Enhancement’ course (HUMS1005). This course is
offered by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences from 2017 – see here:

4 Social Entrepreneurship Practicum (UG)
Assessment 1: Project Scope
Submission due dates: Friday 3 March, 11.59 pm
Weighting: 20% Individual
Maximum length: 1,000 words (+/- 10% maximum variation)
Format: Report
The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate how well you have individually
understood what your client has asked of you, your plan for what your team should do over
the next two months to satisfy the client and what capacity your team has, to complete
these deliverables. Please note that this report should NOT contain solutions for the client.
This report will enable the Lecturer to identify any possible misunderstandings early on and
provide practical guidance on managing your project. This assignment will also support
your group to benefit from the creativity of different ideas when you compare your individual
approaches after submitting your assignments.
More specifically, the project scope should contain the following sections:
Section 1: Understanding the client and the task
Who is your client, what is their social purpose and how do they achieve it? (e.g. what key
aspects of their business model are relevant to understand them)
What challenges do they face, what particular problem are they seeking help with and why
is it important to the client?
What are they asking you to deliver by the end of the project? (Deliverables)
Section 2: Developing a realistic plan/ approach for the project
Based on your understanding thus far, what will your team need to do in the weeks ahead in
order to meet your client’s expectations?
An implementation outline and strategy along with timeline, required resources and any
identified risks (and strategies to overcome the risks);
Various assumptions that are going to be made and possibly challenged during the course
of the project.
Section 3: Knowledge and skills of the team
What knowledge and skills will be required by the team to implement the approach you
recommend and to satisfy your client?
5 Assessment Details
Do these already exist within your team or are there any knowledge/ skills gaps, which will
need to be developed/ accessed?
If all the knowledge and skills exist then please outline how they are were gained, eg what
course did you develop them in? If they need to be developed/ accessed during the course,
then outline how you will do that?
Assessment criteria
A rubric detailing the range of levels of performance for each criterion is
provided on the next page. You will be awarded an overall grade for this

Assessment 3: Client Report
Submission due date: Friday 21 April, 11.59pm
Weighting: 30% (Group)
Maximum Length: Up to 6000 words*
Format: Client Report
Following feedback received during meetings with the client and tasks completed
during the term, each team will develop a final Client Report. The exact format
of the final report will vary based on the deliverables requested by clients but all
reports must include:
• An executive summary.
• A short client and project brief overview.
• Deliverables/recommendations (including insight into the analysis that led your
group to formulate those particular recommendations). This will form the
majority of your report.
• Implementation considerations (relating to the recommendations developed)
including any risks clients should consider.
• In-text referencing and a reference list (as per Harvard Guidelines).
As a client facing report, its presentation and format needs to be of commercial
standard and does not need to comply with typical academic formats (e.g. consider
carefully the choice of font, spacing, headings, location of tables and charts etc.)
The objective is for the content to be accessible to your client.
Please refer https://student.unsw.edu.au/report-writing- support for guidance on how to
write effective reports.
*The word limit for the Client Report is determined by the number of people in your
group: if there are three people, then the report should be 3,000 words; if four
people the report should be 4,000 words. Please note however that you do not have to
use the entire word count if you have been asked to produce deliverables that can not
be quantified in words (i.e marketing plans, videos, brand kits etc).

Assessment 4: Personal & Professional
Development Report
Submission due date: Wednesday 26 April, 11:59 pm
Weighting: 20% (Individual)
Maximum length: 1,000 words (+/- 10%)
Format: Report
Drawing on the knowledge and skills learned or improved throughout the course (including
online modules, class time, and social entrepreneurship client project) students will write a
1,000 word 'Personal and Professional Development Report'. This report should identify,
assess and synthesise the impact COMM3030 has had on their personal and professional
development to date and how they will apply this to their future business practice.
In writing the Personal and Professional Development Report students should address:
• two areas where they have experienced personal growth (preferably skills focus)
• two areas where their business knowledge has improved and been applied
• two areas where they have developed their business skills
This course provides students with multiple opportunities to challenge themselves and increase
their current skills or develop new ones. This is a comparatively safe environment in which to
stretch and grow, particularly in areas that will enhance career prospects. This task
recommends students plan from the beginning to experiment and work on areas they wish to
improve in. This task also mimics career development methodologies used in the workplace
and the expected format of the report provides practice for preparing for interviews.
Task Purpose
The report gives students a chance to reflect, to gain a sense of progress and to set next steps
to ensure ongoing personal and professional development. Link to other assessment tasks The
project brief identifies skills that may be needed or developed during the project. Assessments
1 and 2 invite students to anticipate areas where skill gaps exist and to plan to close them.
Students can actively conduct a skills audit and set themselves a development plan for the
term using material covered in the first few weeks.
Expected format and content
Social Entrepreneurship Practicum (UG) 18
Students are expected to apply what they have learnt about commercial standards and submit
a document that is formatted and structured with the reader in mind. Headings, subheadings,
introduction and conclusion are expected. For each topic area the student cover they should
include a brief explanation of the topic and their prior expertise level, what experiences led to
personal or professional development in these areas, including actions undertaken that
developed their capacity, how they know they have improved, and what the ongoing benefit
and next steps may be. Consideration should be given to whether there are graphical ways to
communicate complex ideas more effectively.
Further information on the Personal and Professional Development Report rationale and
focus
The personal development section gives students an opportunity to consider are they still the
same person as before the experiences of the course or do they have greater insight into
themselves and have they grown as a person in any specific ways? If so, will these insights be
useful in their future endeavours? Since supporting evidence is expected, this content should
move beyond describing an internal feeling and into citing external behaviour change or skill
improvement.
The business knowledge section invites students to consider areas in which their knowledge
and understanding had improved. What have they learnt (models, theories, insights of where
reality differs from theory) that has shifted how they understand business or added a dimension
to how they now analyse things? How will it be useful in their professional lives?
Knowledge is different to skills, and this is a practicum where skills are applied. Business skills
can range from general professional skills such as communication and project management
skills to financial modelling or business planning. Students are invited to consider how their
skills have developed during the term and how they have been used. Perhaps they have
applied or improved a skill and used it to their client’s benefit?
This task also invites students to consider whether these developments will be useful in their
future business endeavours. Some capacity to identify before and after differences and cite
examples/evidence would be well received.
We are looking for the following elements in the reflection report; that the student:
a) had identified clearly six distinct areas of development, preferably aligning neatly with
the categories outlined (personal, business knowledge and business skills).
b) Had briefly described each selected area as it is introduced and shares some context.
c) Demonstrated growth, usually by covering points I – IV below ie:
I. Had provided a baseline of development level in the topic area prior to the
course.
II. Had outlined the insight or challenge that led to potential development
III. Had explained the new behaviour or practice they undertook to apply the
knowledge or practice the skill (action)
IV. Identified and assessed the success or benefit they experienced as a result
of the new input and changed behaviour, that is, identified how circumstances
were improved from baseline due to development (result)
d) Identified next learning steps or tasks to continue to benefit from the development, eg
finessing a skill, determining to practice it again,
e) Identified potential future applications and anticipation of success from applying this
improved skill
f) Synthesised or generalised their insights into broader application and potential benefit
in their future business life or other aspects of their life (Showed how this would be
useful).
