Assignment | Group Assignment: NbS Self-assessment |
Deadline | 25 June 2024 |
Description of the assignment
The purpose of the group assignment is to assess a project with the IUCN Global Standard self-assessment tool and demonstrate the logic behind it.
This task is designed to apply the knowledge gained in each module, fostering collaboration and diversified perspectives among participants.
Please follow the instructions below while working with your group:
- Craft a compelling concise PowerPoint presentation using the template of a duration of 10 minutes.
- While all participants are obliged to contribute to the group work, not all group members are obliged to present, and it is up to you to allocate talking points as you see fit for an optimal outcome.
- Please share your PowerPoint slide deck with IUCN Academy the day before your presentation at the latest.
- After the presentation you will have one week to incorporate the feedback and upload your complete assignment (presentation and self-assessment tool).
- One of the group members has to upload the assignment to their personal space; final feedback will be accessible in the same folder.
Tips for success:
- Start the exercise with a quick and rough assessment against all the criteria and indicators to identify the indicators where this initial rating is contested. Discuss and decide on the final rating together. Fill out the self-assessment tool (excel), providing a clear rationale and means of verification, and highlighting any potential gaps.
- Start working with your group right at the start of the course, as to have more time to reflect and improve your assignment as the course proceeds.
Evaluation criteria
Your final report will be assessed against the following criteria:
- Adequate justifications and rationale for the scoring have been provided.
- Relevant means of verification to assess the indicators and criteria have been listed.
- Overall recommendations followed logically from the self-assessment.
- Evidence that a critical and nuanced discussion on the use of resources and tools has taken place.
- Delivery of a clear and effective presentation of the group work.
- Evidence that each group member contributed equally to the self-assessment and is able to explain the process and results.
- The assignment is submitted before the deadline.
