Equity of Contribution

POLICY OBJECTIVE

The objective of this policy is to be explicit about expectations and obligations of student contribution to
group assessment tasks. All members of the workgroup should adhere to the policies outlined in the signed
policy document.

In the case where a few members undertake work on behalf of the workgroup above and beyond the con-
tribution required of the rest of the workgroup members, this policy should allow for their contribution to be
recognised and this may be in the form of receiving additional marks.

In the case where members of the group rely on others in their group to complete work on their behalf,
marks should be deducted from that individual student in the group. To this end it is set out that each
member of the workgroup must contribute to the class in the following areas:

• Attendance
• Oral participation (if required)
• Written work
• Contribution to the workgroup commitments as outlined in the ‘Team Charter’.

Each student group is to prepare their own Code Of Conduct that indicates the rules of engagement that
they will adhere to to ensure an equitable contribution to group work by all members.

2. Oral Participation
2.1. Oral participation of all members is expected in the following:
2.1.1. Managing and leading
2.1.2. Staff development
2.1.3. Group reflection
2.1.4. Workgroup discussion during meeting times and in workgroup meetings.

2.2. As well as speaking it is expected that all workgroup members will practice active listening.

2.3. The workgroup should make every effort to encourage non-participating members to make a greater
oral contribution to the workgroup.

3. Written Work

3.1. Each workgroup member must complete the ‘Homework’ prior to the week’s class.

3.2. Failure to complete the ‘Homework’ prior to the week’s class may result in each member of the
responsible workgroup being penalised 5% of the possible mark for the portfolio (that is 1.5
marks).

4. Individual Appeal against a Lower Grade

4.1. Before a lower grade can be applied to an individual student, the group must discuss the situation with;

(i)the individual student


(ii)the class seminar leader

4.2. If the student agrees that they have not contributed equitably, he /she will agree to a lower mark than
other group members.

4.3. If, after all discussions, it is agreed that the individual student is to be penalised, all members of the
group must prepare a written statement (this includes the student/s to be penalised). All group mem-
bers, including the student/s to be penalised, sign the statement.

4.4. The original copy of the statement, with signatures, must be given to the seminar leader.
4.5. A copy of the statement must then be provided to each student in the group

5. Seminar Leader’s Role

5.1. The seminar leader has no power to impose any penalty for contribution or performance unless it has
been applied by the workgroup under this policy and notified in writing.

5.2. If requested to do so the seminar leader may agree to attend meetings and act in a mediator role.
However, if the seminar leader believes the issue to be sufficiently serious they may refer the issue to
the MN7407 course coordinator for further action.

5.3. If it is deemed that the group has discriminated against the student in any way, those students who
have partaken in the discrimination will be referred to the MN7407 Course Coordinator.

6. Amendment to this Policy

6.1. This policy may only be amended with the agreement of all members of the workgroup.

6.2. Any amendment must be created into a new policy and circulated for the signature of all workgroup
members.

6.3. The seminar leader has the right to veto any amendment that appears to him/her to be unfair or
targeted at a specific individual or individuals.

7. Contribution to the workgroup as an organisation

7.1. It is expected that all group members are to attend the daily group meetings and all members will
engage with the daily asynchronous materials.

7.2. On an ad-hoc basis, the group will decide a date and time for the group to meet and compile the
portfolio contents.

7.3. It is expected that on a rotational basis the group will nominate a chair person to co-ordinate the
weekly activities.

Date of agreement: Monday,6 September, 2021
