The portfolio assessment is an individual assessment piece that is to be undertakenduring the semester. It comprises two (2) tasks:
Task No 1:You are expected to locate three news items from local, national or international business news media (e.g.,http://www.abc.net.au/news/business/orhttps://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/news) over the course of the semester.
During the semester, you need to keep on developing a portfolio of three (3) news items preferably from different companies regarding a marketing issue. Please note that the news items must be published over the course of the semester.
Addressing the following three questions, write a review of each news item. Each news item review must not be longer than 800 words
It is expected that the portfolio will contain a copy of the news items in appendices or an easy to access link. The news item needs to have the full reference presented at the end of the portfolio.
Please note: Your portfolio of news items is not to include any articles posted and discussed in your tutorial group.
Task No 2:Reflective Write-Up
The reflective write-up comprises two sections: Portfolio of News Items (i.e., task 1) reflection
and Marketing Plan reflection.
