我好奇的是focus session是如何评分的? 是每个人都上台做presentation还是怎样？谢谢 ...
My response may be too long so I decide to break them down in Part 1 first. I think it is better for me to help the potential candidates once they have the materials on hand before discussing more in detail. It is kind of difficult if I just put down things without reading your study materials
There is a mandatory attendance and the completion of assessment tasks total 40%, which spreads across 3 focus sessions. The first assessment task is marked out of 10 and the rest of marked out 15 each.
The first workshop focus session is as follows (copied from CA website)
Segment 1 covers Capstone module content, including Workshop 1 to:
- Access data, analyse information and synthesise knowledge
- Communicate effectively
- Work in and lead teams
- Code of Ethics and ethical decision making.
Prior attending the 1st workshop, you should do the following
- Your own personality report online to identify your personal strength and weakness (Belbin Report - see below link)
http://www.belbin.com/rte.asp?id=1
- Practice question & your answers based on Ethics (A scenario given based on videos, study materials). The assessment topic is given in a short notice 2 or 3 times before your workshop. You must try your best to complete the answers based on the notices because the assessment task is tested based on the same background facts and then add some additional late breaking facts. (More on that later)
- You MUST bring the study materials, photocopies of your personal Belbin report (4 or 5 depending how many people is on your table), laptop / write pad to write down the main points from the 2 facilitators.
- You MUST bring the 'Business Writing Plus' written by Rachel McAlpine (study materials where you need to follow the 'business letter' format for the assessment task)
During the 1st workshop (9-4pm either on Sat or Sun), the runtime is kind of like this
- NEVER EVER arrive late as the facilitators will kick you out of the workshop (i.e. You MAY have to enrol for next CAPSTONE study session as CA is VERY strict on time)
- Sit on your assign table and meet the other assign table members. (They will all team members for all your 3 workshops and the 2nd and 3rd assessments are worked together)
- The facilitators will introduce themselves & rundown the day schedules on the whiteboards
- The facilitators will talk about their CAPSTONE training sessions (they need to be on time or otherwise KICK out)
- The facilitators will ask the candidates to input or contribute their response on things related to teamwork and others (I can't remember this part too well because this was the boring part)
- They talked about the Belbin report on team roles
- Tea break
- Practice an assessment task (a question similar to your actual assessment task). I think you can discuss with your team members for 5 minutes beforehand. Then you need to write your response on paper
- After completing the practice assessment task, the other table members will peer mark your response. Then that peer candidate will provide you your feedback in person and write down their feedback like an actual marker. If the assessment task is a group assessment task (workshop 2 & 3), there will be another additional team feedback
Listen carefully on what he / she said and try to understand & improve the weakness (doubtful but possible) before the actual assessment task
- Lunch
- Then the actual assessment task (probably based on ethics) under exam conditions
- The facilitators take your assessment task for marking and return them to you over your next workshop. (except the last one).
- Tea break
- The facilitators talk about some boring parts and ask for candidates for feedback (I can't remember too well)
- The facilitators will ask candidates to do some team exercises (e.g. assign no.1 person goes to the next table and join their group and then discuss a team response) on certain topic and write the responses on a piece of a big white sheet stuck on the windows at the back of the room. This part is not examinable but will help you for your next assignment task or the exam
- The facilitators will talk about something over your next workshop & you finish the day
- Make sure you obtain your table members contact details because the next 2 assignment tasks are group / team assessment tasks). There may be issues about the teamwork but more on that if you guys want to know.
- Note: You feel very tired after that and wants to go home straight away
The 2nd workshop session is similar to the first one except the assignment task is a Group assessment. They are based on a real life case study (MYER when I did it) where you need to do lots of researches (newspaper researches beforehand). The exam structure is divided into part a to d or e) where it is usually 1 person responsible for 1 part of the question.
The 3rd workshop session is a group presentation based on an scenario related to your case study (MYER). The question covers a big topic. Each member will need present one part of the question (like (a) to d or e) mentioned previously). The strongest presenters will usually do the introduction and the conclusion. This is the hardest part of the program because your preparation is A LOT longer than usual. (E.g. research 5 people & guess the question beforehand). The facilitators will mark the actual presentation. Obviously your team has a practice presentation session beforehand while the other table member will peer mark that presentation and provide you & your team some feedbacks
The group assessment marks allocation is something divided like an overall mark of x for the team. This comprises of a 30% of team mark and the rest is on an individual mark. Your overall mark will scale up or down based on either individual or team mark. (I can't remember too well on this now but I may able to recall this later). The group assessment mark affect most over the workshop 3 presentation. By the way, they will only post your mark over the CAPSTONE forum and a notice showing the average mark.
Exam preparation will also discuss over the last workshop.
This end my part one of the response.
