Individual Reflection on Group Research Presentation
This assignment is an individual written reflection based on a group research presentation completed for the Principles of International Business module. The assessment requires students to reflect on both the research topic explored by their group and the process of working collaboratively to develop and deliver the group presentation. The reflection has a word count of 800 words and should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the student's individual experience, contribution and learning. The first part of the reflection introduces the research topic investigated by the group. Students are expected to provide a concise summary of the subject explored and establish the context for their reflection. This provides an opportunity to explain the focus of the group's research and the main area investigated. The second area focuses on the group project experience. Students should reflect on their own contribution to the group presentation and evaluate how effectively the group collaborated. The reflection should consider aspects of teamwork such as communication, presentation, time management and conflict resolution. Students should also discuss what they learned from undertaking the research project, including critical reading and thinking, development of the research topic, data collection and analysis, and the process of making recommendations. Importantly, the reflection should include at least one specific example of how a problem was identified and resolved during the group process. The final area focuses on research skills development. Students should identify the research skills they developed while conducting the chosen research topic and provide examples of how these skills were applied during the group research project. They should also discuss challenges encountered while completing the project and explain how they addressed or overcame those challenges. Overall, the assignment is designed to encourage students to critically reflect on their group research and presentation experience, rather than simply describe what happened. It provides an opportunity to consider individual contributions, teamwork, research capabilities, problem-solving and personal learning gained through the project. The assessment therefore combines reflection on the international business research topic with evaluation of collaborative working and the development of research skills.

Individual Reflection on Group Research Presentation and Research Skills Development
This assessment is an individual 800-word reflective piece that requires students to reflect on their experience of completing a group research project and delivering a group presentation. The reflection focuses on the research topic explored by the group, the student's individual contribution to the presentation, the effectiveness of group collaboration, the development of research skills and the challenges encountered throughout the research process. The reflection begins with an introduction to the research topic investigated by the group. Students are expected to provide a concise summary of the topic explored and establish the context for their subsequent reflection. The discussion should demonstrate an understanding of the research undertaken by the group and provide a clear foundation for evaluating the student's experience. The second area focuses on the group project experience. Students should describe their individual contributions to the group presentation and critically reflect on how effectively the group worked together. The reflection should consider aspects of teamwork such as communication, presentation skills, time management and conflict resolution. Students should also identify what they learned from both the teamwork process and the research project, including areas such as critical reading and thinking, research topic development, data collection and analysis, and making recommendations. At least one specific example of how a problem was resolved during the group process must be included to demonstrate practical reflection on the team's experience. The third area focuses on research skills development. Students should identify the research skills they developed while conducting the chosen research topic and provide specific examples of how these skills were applied during the group research project. The reflection should also discuss challenges experienced while completing the research and explain how those challenges were addressed or overcome. Overall, the assessment requires students to move beyond simply describing what happened and provide meaningful reflection on their learning and development. The reflection should demonstrate how participation in the group research project contributed to the development of teamwork, communication, research, analytical and problem-solving skills. It should also consider how these skills can support future academic and professional activities. The assessment is marked using four criteria: presentation and structure of the reflection, breadth and depth of reflection, research skills development, and group presentation experience. The rubric allocates 10 points to presentation and structure, 30 points to breadth and depth of reflection, 40 points to research skills development and 20 points to group presentation experience, for a total of 100 points. The assessment instructions also state that students must not use AI tools for the assignment.

Software Development Project
Software Development Project – Group Presentation, Demo Video and Peer Assessment
This group-based assessment for the Software Development Project module at Coventry University requires a team of five students to design, develop and demonstrate a full-stack software product of their choice. The project must use technologies or platforms agreed by the team and requires students to contribute to different aspects of the software development process, including design, implementation and testing. The assessment is worth 20 credits and is submitted as a 15-minute MP4 presentation and demonstration video, with a permitted variation of plus or minus 10%. The main component is a group presentation and demo video. Students must evaluate the key Agile techniques applied during development and project management, supported by evidence of using appropriate software tools. The presentation should demonstrate how Agile practices were applied to the group project and should address techniques such as user stories with story-point estimation, story mapping, sprint planning, task boards, work breakdown and burndown charts. The assessment also requires evaluation of project risks and the social, professional, legal and ethical issues associated with the software project. A second major component is the live demonstration of the software features developed by the group. Students must demonstrate the most significant or innovative features implemented using their selected technologies and platforms. The demonstration should show how the software meets business requirements and provide a clear rationale for the development decisions. The marking criteria assess the quality, complexity and creativity of the software, including front-end, computation and back-end development, live data inputs and, where applicable, Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations. The assessment also includes an individual peer-assessment component. Each student must rate every other team member's contribution using a whole-number score from 0 to 10, with 10 representing the highest contribution. The peer assessment accounts for 10% of the overall assessment, while the group presentation accounts for 60% and the software features demonstration accounts for 30%. The module learning outcomes focus on evaluating and applying appropriate software development approaches such as Agile, applying current technologies and platforms to meet business requirements, evaluating software solutions against quality metrics, and evaluating commercial risks alongside professional, social, legal and ethical considerations. The brief also places the assessment in the Amber AI category, meaning AI may be used to assist, but any AI tools used during the research process must be acknowledged and relevant AI-generated information must be cited and referenced using Coventry University APA style.

International Entrepreneurship / Business Management
International Entrepreneurship: Start-up Business Idea and International Market Expansion Pitch
This group presentation assessment requires students to develop and pitch an internationally oriented entrepreneurial business idea. Students may create their own start-up or select an existing small or medium-sized enterprise or family firm. Large multinational organisations are not permitted. The selected business must have an international dimension, either from its inception or through credible plans to undertake international activities such as overseas sourcing, manufacturing, selling or market expansion within approximately three to five years. The presentation requires students to clearly explain the proposed business idea, its products or services and the customer value proposition. Students must demonstrate how a viable market opportunity or gap has been identified and explain how the proposed venture intends to capture that opportunity. Consideration may also be given to social entrepreneurship and the potential contribution of the business to local communities. A significant part of the assessment examines how an entrepreneurial venture can overcome the practical challenges associated with start-up development and internationalisation. Students should evaluate resource scarcity and the role of entrepreneurial networks or open innovation, propose appropriate funding mechanisms such as angel investment, venture capital or crowdfunding, and explain how the venture's intellectual property could be protected. Students must also present a credible international growth strategy. This includes identifying suitable foreign markets, analysing competitors, selecting appropriate market-entry modes, defining target customer segments and developing suitable marketing and promotional strategies. All arguments should be supported with reliable evidence, with sources cited directly within the presentation and a reference list included. The assessment places emphasis on knowledge and application of entrepreneurship theories, clarity and focus of the business idea, quality and reliability of supporting materials, professional presentation delivery and the group's ability to respond confidently during questioning. All group members are expected to contribute to the work and presentation. The accompanying Group Engagement Form specifically records whether members contributed equally and allows agreed contribution percentages to be documented. Reference style: enter Not specified rather than automatically selecting Harvard. The brief requires reliable sources, slide citations and a reference list, but the uploaded assessment documents do not prescribe a named referencing system. If the actual library file you are uploading is the FourGaz presentation sample, rather than a new 2025/26 submission, use the title “FourGaz: International Entrepreneurship Start-up and Market Expansion Strategy” and do not label it 2025/26, because that sample is dated 25 November 2019.

Business Intelligence / Data Analytics / Project Management
Business Intelligence and Data Analytics Dashboard for Project Progress Evaluation
This group assessment requires students to act as Project Analysts and critically evaluate the progress of a university project using business intelligence, data analytics and project management techniques. The scenario is based on Northumbria University London planning two major events: a Convocation and an associated Concert. Students must select one of these projects and assess its progress through a professionally structured presentation. The assessment requires students to begin by defining the main problem or opportunity associated with the selected project. They must then identify and analyse the project's key stakeholders and deliverables. A major component of the work involves evaluating project progress using suitable business intelligence and data analytics techniques and developing an appropriate dashboard, which may be created using Microsoft Excel or other suitable software. Students must not only present the dashboard but also critically analyse and justify its design, selected metrics, analytical methods and usefulness for project monitoring and decision-making. Because the projects are treated as already being in progress, students are permitted to create assumed or projected data to demonstrate their dashboards. The assessment does not primarily evaluate the accuracy of real project data; instead, it assesses students' ability to design, present and critically evaluate meaningful dashboards. Any assumed data should therefore remain realistic, internally consistent and relevant to the selected project. The presentation should conclude with evidence-based recommendations for the successful implementation and use of the proposed business intelligence or data analytics solution. Academic references and relevant examples must support the presentation, and a single reference list must be included. Assessment weighting places particular emphasis on application of BI tools and techniques (30%), followed by stakeholders and deliverables (20%) and justification of BI tools (20%). Project and opportunity analysis, conclusions and recommendations, and presentation/referencing are each worth 10%. The final assessment is a 15-minute group presentation followed by a 5-minute question-and-answer session. Every group member must contribute to the presentation. The PowerPoint submission is made electronically through Turnitin. Do not select Harvard automatically for this one. Unlike the previous Roehampton brief, this Northumbria brief requires academic references and a reference list but does not state a specific referencing style in the uploaded document.

This module requires you to complete two assessments: a group presentation (25%) and an individual report (75%). In the group presentation, your team must analyse a chosen industry using strategic tools such as PESTEL analysis, Porter’s Five Forces, and competitor/strategic group analysis. The presentation should critically evaluate the external and industry environment, include graphs, charts, and academic references, and demonstrate strong teamwork and confident delivery during the 15-minute presentation and 5-minute Q&A session. The individual report requires you to select a company from the recommended list and critically evaluate its strategic challenges, business ethics, sustainability practices, and/or organisational culture issues. You must analyse the impact of these issues on the company, provide well-justified recommendations, suggest suitable leadership and management approaches, and support all arguments using relevant strategic and leadership theories. The work should be analytical rather than descriptive, properly referenced with in-text citations, professionally formatted, and based on extensive research.
