The work addresses clearly and articulately the assignment requirements and thus meets and satisfies all the learning outcomes (either well or in an exemplary way). The work demonstrates: clear knowledge; references to appropriate academic literature; analysis; critical evaluation; and originality of argument. It is structured and presented to a high (or exemplary) standard. Referencing conventions are fully observed. The assignment evaluated is of a good to a high standard. Substantial knowledge, comprehension and analysis is evident throughout. Arguments presented are clear and focused with a logical structure in place. There is clear evidence of critical evaluation of a wide range of theories/perspectives from academic literature and some independent thought. The work is well-written and addresses well all of the learning outcomes. Referencing conventions are fully observed. The assignment evaluated is of a fair to good standard. Adequate knowledge, comprehension and analysis is evident throughout. The arguments presented have a logical structure and show some critical evaluation in places, although there may be limited evidence of an independent perspective. There is evidence of some good engagement with some of the appropriate literature. Learning outcomes have been largely met and to an appropriate degree. Referencing conventions are observed. The assignment evaluated is of a basic standard. The arguments presented have some logical structure and are supported by academic literature in most cases. The academic literature used is outside of the suggestions made in the module guide but remains limited. Little critical evaluation is evident, and the work tends more widely towards a descriptive style. Learning outcomes have been addressed in a basic but satisfactory way. Referencing conventions are mostly observed. The assignment evaluated is of a limited standard. Limited use of academic literature and as such knowledge and argument is very weak. A simple descriptive style with no evidence of critical evaluation throughout. Over- reliance on simplistic, limited sources. Referencing conventions may not be observed. Some learning outcomes met but in a weak and simplistic way. The work is needs to be developed in greater depth and detail to move to a passable standard at this level of study The assignment evaluated is of an unacceptable standard. There is little or no evidence of knowledge and understanding that is required at this level. Referencing is inadequate or non-existent. The learning outcomes have not been addressed fully and the work requires significant modification to bring it to a passable standard. Module Description This course will help build participants' understanding role of research to develop new products, processes and technologies that also emphasise the promotion of natural resources. The course will entail enhancing the learner's perspective on the need for the integration of sustainable innovation. The course will enhance the leadership ability of the learner to understand sustainable business model innovation. Learners understand to communicate and manage stakeholders to drive the need for sustainable competitive advantage. The learner will evaluate and critically understand the need to be a catalyst to induce and efficiently incorporate and address global issues. This course will ensure the learner understands the critical role of being a purpose-driven Leader. Learners will understand the step by process to maintain a sustainable business. The course highlights the role of advanced theories in sustainability and focuses on the research on the use of sustainable design to protect the environment (increasing the focus on thermal comfort along with helping to reduce energy consumption and using recycled materials). Learning outcomes LO1 To understand and evaluate research on innovation and sustainability and to enhance research for sustainable business solutions. LO2: To explore and understand models of Innovation and Sustainability in business and explore design thinking to improve sustainable innovation research. LO3: To analyze research sustainability perspectives with a Green design and design science approach in the field of innovation. Expectations 1. Materials Access All learning materials are provided in the form of a module kit and can be accessed from the Learning Management system (LMS) 2. Learning Hours Students need to be aware of their commitment requirements in regard to study time. In order to give you an indication of that, we have based the following information on the United Kingdom (UK) Higher Education Quality Assurance Agency guidelines. “The notional learning hours associated with qualifications, programmes and individual units of study are based on a broad agreement across institutions that students can expect to spend 10 hours learning on average in order to gain one academic credit unit” (QAA 2006). 3. Re-sit If you do not secure a pass, please read closely the feedback and speak with your Course leader(s) or faculty. After consulting the feedback, close attention is essential to rework on the areas of weakness, and then resubmit the work at the next opportunity. As per the QAA requirements, only one REDO is allowed where the marks will be capped at a Pass. 4. Plagiarism All forms of plagiarism are taken seriously, and any suspected cases will be investigated thoroughly. If a case is found proven, then the work will be graded as a fail and the case will be reviewed by the academic committee. The team checks the Turnitin before the evaluation happens for the work done. 5. Student appeals There are no re-evaluations as the marks are graded and internally verified before release. However, as per our appeals policy, a student can make an appeal to the course leader which will be then reviewed by the academic committee (please check our academic policies and procedures manual for more information)
