| | Assessment Task | Value (of total mark) | Related Learning Outcome/s |
| 1.   | Group Research Proposal (500-750 words per student, 3-4 students in a group).Note: Individual component:Each student writes a specific section (e.g., problem statement, methodology rationale, or objectives).Students submit a short individual reflection (~150 words) on how group discussions influenced their contribution and research direction. | 10% | |
| 2.   | Group Ethics and Research Integrity Report (varies depending on project, typically 500 - 600 words per student, 3-4 students in a group).Note:Individual component:Each student completes an individual ethics case analysis (~200 words) (e.g., AI use, plagiarism scenario, data consent issue).Include peer review summaries for another student's ethical argument. | 25% | |
| 3.   | Group Critical Literature Review (varies depending on project, typically 700 - 1000 words per student, 3-4 students in a group).Note:Individual component:Each student writes a defined section (~700 words) with ~10 scholarly references.Submit an annotated bibliography individually.Self-assessment checklist on contribution. | 35% | |
| 4.   | Group Research Presentation (15 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A, per group).Note:Individual component:Each student presents a distinct section (e.g., introduction, methodology, findings).Each student answers at least one Q&A question live.Include a one-slide personal reflection (e.g., "What I learned through peer review and collaboration"). | 30% | |
