The Auswide Bank senior management team would like the following addressed in your Powerpoint
presentation.
• A slide introducing yourself to Auswide Bank (one slide only);
• A summarised history of Auswide Bank (one slide only);
• Challenges cu
ently facing the company while having a head office in regional
Australia;
• A summary of recent developments in the banking industry in Australia and how
these developments may impact Auswide Bank; and
• Critically evaluate the social responsibility of Auswide Bank in relation to its
customers and clients?
Your reflective essay asks you to reflect on your own experience when writing and completing the
PowerPoint presentation from Part A of this assessment and completing 12 weeks of Unit materials.
Reflection is all about deepening your learning. By reflecting, you are able to make connections
etween your own experience and what you are learning. It also allows you to learn from your
mistakes and thus become a better business practitioner.
Your own thoughts, feelings, experiences and ideas are central to reflective writing. Therefore, Part B
of the assessment should be written in the first person style. Your submission should contain a clear
structure with an introduction, body and conclusion, it should use formal language and omit
colloquial language, contain co
ect grammar and spelling and it should draw on scholarly references.
Your Reflective Essay needs to be at least 1000 words and be referenced using the CQU APA
Referencing Style Guide. You need to provide at least six scholarly references to pass this criteria for
this assessment.
Your reflective essay should answer the following questions;
Analyse the experience of researching the material for the PowerPoint. What was it about
the experience that made you think? How did it make you feel?
Was there something about the experience that challenged your ideas about what you’ve
learned? Or did it reinforce those ideas?
How did your experience fit with the literature you’ve been reading, or with the course
materials?
Evaluate the experience. Was it overall a positive or a negative experience for you? What will
you draw from it?
To answer the questions above you will have to rely on the learning presented in the twelve weekly
instalments during the Unit. For example, for your response to ‘Critically evaluate the social
esponsibility of Auswide Bank in relation to its customers and clients?’ you will have to determine
the impact of the complex role of globalisation in recent years on the company and draw on the
learning from week six, eight and nine.
Your slide presentation should be na
ated using your voice and the recording tools in Powerpoint to
ecord a na
ation or audio commentary of your slides. The na
ation or audio commentary should
e no more than 10 minutes and utilise the software technology to maximise the presentation. The
Academic Learning Centre has tools and resources for students who are unfamiliar with the MS
Powerpoint program.

Description – Part B
Your Reflective Essay asks you to reflect on your own experience when writing and completing the
Powerpoint presentation from Part A of this assessment.
Reflection is all about deepening your learning. By reflecting, you are able to:
• get to know your own strengths and weaknesses
• discover your own underlying assumptions – and challenge them
• make connections between your own experience and what you are learning - learn from your
mistakes – and thus become a better practitioner.
Your own thoughts, feelings, experiences and ideas are central to reflective writing. Therefore, Part
B of the assessment should be written in the first person style.
Your submission should contain a clear structure with an introduction, body and conclusion, it should
use formal language and omit colloquial language, contain co
ect grammar and spelling and it
should draw on scholarly references.
Your Reflective Essay should answer the following questions;
Describe the experience of writing the Powerpoint presentation by outlining how you put the
presentation together?
Analyse the experience. What was it about the experience that made you think? How did it
make you feel?
Was there something about it that challenged your ideas about what you’ve learned? Or did
it reinforce those ideas? How did your experience fit with the literature you’ve been reading,
or with the course materials?
Evaluate the experience. Was it overall a positive or a negative experience for you? What will
you draw from it?
Your Reflective Essay needs to be 1000 words and be referenced using the CQU APA Referencing
Style Guide. You need to provide at least six scholarly references to pass this criteria.
The ideal references for this task would be references that refer to the learning in the Unit. For
example, if you were interested in Week One’s Mintzberg’s Managerial Roles – then you could do
some research on this at the li
ary and find a scholarly source and reference that material in your
assessment discussing how your understanding of management was increased through use of the
learning from this model.
The first thing is to reflect on the things that mattered to you in the Unit – the things that made you
think and read more about the topic – when reading more you
