ACCT5942 Group Video Presentation Assessment Rubric
A syndicate of 5 students of each tutorial stream is required to submit a pre-recorded 15-minute
video presentation. The presentation will be about a discussion question based on relevant
accounting standards, reporting regulations, or current affairs related to a course topic. All
members of the syndicate must show up in the video presentation and speak for around 3
minutes each. It is required that the student’s face appear on the screen while delivering the
presentation.
You will be allocated to a team with other students by the end of Week 2, and each team will
be assigned a topic in the presentation schedule.
No special consideration is available for this assessment.
A marking rubric and the presentation topics will be provided on the course Moodle site. The
Group video presentation must be submitted: Submitted by Friday 21 July by 5:00PM
(AEST). No late submission will be accepted.
You must upload your video to Moodle under the group video presentation. You should use
the Title of your presentation using seminar time and team number (e.g., TUES10_TEAM01;
TUES10_TEAM02, etc.).
Each student member’s grade will be based on the group performance, which will be assessed
using the following rubric.

Individual contribution adjustment
To account for the possibility that group members contribute unevenly to the group
performance, an individual contribution adjustment can be used to allow individual group
members to receive a grade higher or lower than the group performance. However, this
adjustment is only applied to an individual when all other group members are in consensus that
the individual delivers considerably more or less than peers in the task.
A formal request for individual contribution adjustment must be sent by all other members to
the LIC before the presentation due date to be considered. For the request to be effective, it is
advised that each group maintain a journal documenting details of task allocation, deliverables
by each group member, and meeting records. The LIC will make the final decision on whether
the adjustment will apply.
Video production resources
There are many tools available to record video presentations. We recommend using Zoom to
record your video presentations. A tutorial can be found through the link below.

The easiest way to submit your video presentation is to record your group presentation using
Zoom’s record function. You may choose ‘Record on this computer’ if your presentation will
require further editing, or ‘Record to the cloud’ if your presentation is well-rehearsed and no
editing will be required.
If your video recording requires editing, you may use OpenShot (https://www.openshot.org), a
free software that is sufficient for our purpose. There are many video tutorials available online.
Of course, you may use any other recording and/or editing software that is more accessible to
you.
