Research Report (Individual Assignment) – 10% (Due week 9)
Objective(s)
This assessment item relates to the unit learning outcomes as in the unit descriptor. This
assessment is designed to improve student presentation skills and to give students experience in
researching a topic and writing a report relevant to the Unit of Study subject matter.
INSTRUCTIONS
For this component you will prepare a report or critique on an academic paper related to Business
Process Modeling or Business Process Management. The paper you select must be directly
relevant to one of these major topics. The paper can be from any academic conference or other
relevant Journal or online sources such as Google Scholar, Academic department repositories
etc… All students must select a different paper, thus the paper must be approved by your
instructor or tutor before proceeding. In case two students are wanting to report on the same
paper, the first who emails the instructor with their choice will be allocated that paper (provided
it is acceptable). Note: popular magazine articles, web sites and blogs are not academic sources.
Your report should be limited to approx. 1500 words (not including references). Use 1.5 spacing
with a 12 point Times New Roman font. Though your paper will largely be based on the chosen
article, you can use other sources to support your discussion. Citation of sources is mandatory
and must be in the IEEE style.
Your report or critique must include:
 Title Page: The title of the assessment, the name of the paper you are reviewing and its
authors, and your name and student ID.
 Introduction: A statement of the purpose for your report and a brief outline of how you
will discuss the selected article (one or two paragraphs). Make sure to identify the
article being reviewed.
 Body of Report: Describe the intention and content of the article. If it is a research
report, discuss the research method (survey, case study, observation, experiment, or
other method) and findings. Comment on problems or issues highlighted by the authors.
Discuss the conclusions of the article and how they are relevant to what you are

studying this semester.
 Conclusion: A summary of the points you have made in the body of the paper. The
conclusion should not introduce any ‘new’ material that was not discussed in the body
of the paper. (One or two paragraphs)
 References: A list of sources used in your text. They should be listed alphabetically by
(first) author’s family name. Follow the IEEE style.
 The footer must include your name, student ID, and page number.
Submission Guidelines
All submissions are to be submitted through turn-it-in. Drop-boxes linked to turn-it-in will be set
up in the Unit of Study Moodle account. Assignments not submitted through these drop-boxes
will not be considered.
Submissions must be made by the due date and time (which will be in the session detailed above)
and determined by your Unit coordinator. Submissions made after the due date and time will be
penalized at the rate of 10% per day (including weekend days).
The turn-it-in similarity score will be used in determining the level if any of plagiarism. Turn-it-in
will check conference web-sites, Journal articles, the Web and your own class member
submissions for plagiarism. You can see your turn-it-in similarity score when you submit your
assignment to the appropriate drop-box. If this is a concern you will have a chance to change
your assignment and re-submit. However, re-submission is only allowed prior to the submission
due date and time. After the due date and time have elapsed you cannot make re-submissions
and you will have to live with the similarity score as there will be no chance for changing. Thus,
plan early and submit early to take advantage of this feature. You can make multiple submissions,
but please remember we only see the last submission, and the date and time you submitted will
be taken from that submission.
Your document should be a single word or pdf document containing your report.
