The core assessment task in this subject is an autoethnographic project analysing your own experiences with HRM, work and organisations. There are both collaborative and individual components to this task:

Topic: organisational culture

1. Working in groups of 3-4, you will decide on a theme for your project relating to this subject (e.g., precarious work, organisational violence, culture, international HRM, etc.) and prepare individual reflections on this theme. You will present as a group on your collaborative analysis (20mins) during tutorials in Weeks 8-11.

2. You will write an individual autoethnography of 1,500 words and submit this to UTSOnline at the start of Week 8.

After forming groups in the Week 2 tutorial, at least 40mins will be allocated in the tutorials of Weeks 3-6 to work in groups on this assessment task. The tutor will remain available during this time to advise the progress of your autoethnographic project and answer any and all questions relating to this task.

In the lecture, there will be an overview of autoethnography and how this methodology can be utilised to analyse your own experiences of management and organisations.

Throughout the teaching session, several of the set readings adopt an autoethnographic approach to showcase the forms of interpretation and writing this approach can take.

In the tutorial, you will randomly form groups of 3-4 and have the opportunity to discuss a theme for your collaborative autoethnographic analysis.

Goal: Before next week's tutorial, you should ideally have decided on the theme for your collaborative autoethnographic project. The theme can be anything relating to work, management and societies either from the topics of this subject or anything else. It is just a way to tie all the group members' autoethnographies together into a common and coherent subject.

Across these four tutorials, approx. half the time will be made available to work in groups on your autoethnographies under the guidance of the tutor.

Goal: Discuss your proposed theme with your tutor in Week 3's tutorial and make any adjustments necessary. Draft a plan for your joint presentation and ideally, work together to draft your plans for your written analyses too. By Week 6's tutorial, you should each have completed a first full draft of your written analyses and the draft presentation slides that you can discuss with your tutor.

Along with the mid-session break, there will be two weeks without face-to-face lectures
and tutorials to finalise work on your autoethnographic project.
Goal: Edit and proofread your written analyses and submit it to UTSOnline 2-3 days
before the deadline. Review the Turnitin report and make revisions if necessary and
resubmit before the deadline.

At the start of the week, the 1,500-word individual written analysis is due to be submitted on UTSOnline via Turnitin. No hard copy submission is necessary.

Across these four weeks, three groups will present in each tutorial for 20 minutes on their autoethnographies. Groups will receive a joint mark for the first three items of the marking criteria worth 50% (see p. 4) and an individual mark for the written component worth 50%.
Goal: Continue to complete the weekly pre-tutorial preparation and attend all presentations.

There will be no face-to-face tutorial scheduled in this week, however, the classroom will remain available in the case of any unforeseen interruptions in the previous four weeks.
