CBA 2 Student Information Booklet
This Classroom-Based Assessment has two priorities: to give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge, skills and understanding to real-life settings, and to develop their communication skills. The Presentation allows students to: develop their self-awareness as learners; to evaluate evidence and reflect on their values; to demonstrate how they can communicate competently using a range of tools prevalent in the business environment; and to make considered decisions and recommendations.
The Presentation is an individual project. Students research over three weeks and then complete their reflection over two class periods after they present at the end of the three weeks.
