Kaitaia College
Level 3 Business Studies
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms T. Millanta
What will I learn and how will I learn?
In Level 3 Business Studies, students develop their understanding of business theory and practices in a range of relevant contexts, through experiential as well as theoretical approaches to learning.
Students will gain knowledge, skills, and experience to :
- Analyse how and why businesses in New Zealand operating in the national and global markets make operational and strategic decisions in response to interacting internal and external factors.
- Plan, investigate a product with an export potential and link it to a business marketing plan.
- Students will plan and carry out their own business.
Conditions of Assessment
Collection of evidence for the internally assessed standards can include, but is not restricted to, an extended task, an investigation, digital evidence (such as recorded interviews, blogs, photographs or film) or a portfolio of evidence. Assessment can be integrated into one activity that collects evidence towards two or three different standards from a programme of learning. Evidence can also be collected over time from a range of linked activities (for example, in a portfolio). Authenticity of student evidence needs to be assured regardless of the method of collecting evidence.
Submitting Internal Assessment
Depending on the nature of the assessment, this can be electronic or hard copy. The mode depends on the assessment conditions.
Resubmission and Further Assessment Opportunities
Resubmissions can only be offered once and only when small errors or omissions need to be corrected in student work in a short period of time. There is no further teaching available. Further assessment opportunities are not available in every standard.
