Graduate Attribute 2 Contextually Innovative. Solve given and clearly defined problems, carry out predefined and possibly innovative approaches and check and understand how the solution has solved the problem, reflecting on the solution achieved.The AU Foundation has decided to award a number of grants to allow students to contribute towards the successful achievement of the UN`s Sustainable Development Goals. To apply for this funding, you will identify and investigate a problem affecting people that is important to you. You will decide on what your problem is with guidance from your lecturer, and then you will design an innovative solution to the problem.
Your proposed solution will be small-scale – it will be something that you could actually make happen, within a small budget of £1,000 or €1,200.
Think of yourself as a changemaker, how can you make a small but positive contribution to the world?
There are two separate assessment tasks for this module, each with its own assessment brief, that you will need to complete to pass:
•
Assessment 1 – Poster (worth 40%): Describe your solution, explain its link to the world`s wider problems and explain and evaluate your solution. Use the poster to convince the AU Foundation to fund your project.
•
Assessment 2 – Project (worth 60%): Describe, and reflect on, the process of carrying out your project. Use the project to reflect on the skills you have developed and consolidated during the module.
You need to complete all tasks on both assessment briefs to achieve the full range of marks available. Your work for these assignments must be submitted separately to the correct iLearn submission portal. If you are unsure which portal to submit your work to, please check with your module lecturer.
This assessment brief explains what you need to do for Assessment 1 – Poster.
