ILOs
According to the rubric, a product that meets industry standards, is ready for use, and achieves its goal is assessed under this Intended Learning Outcome.
What is ILO 2: Product?
This is the main focus of monthly intervision meetings, where students share updates, challenges, and receive feedback.
What is progress sharing?
Every Capstone project at BUas must include this component to demonstrate achievement of Intended Learning Outcome 1.
What is a research component?
This permitted AI level allows students to improve grammar and clarity in their portfolio or research report, without adding new content.
What is Level 3 – AI‑Assisted Editing?
Every chapter in the portfolio should begin by introducing this specific assessment focus.
What is an Intended Learning Outcome (ILO)?
Requesting feedback, reflecting on insights, and making improvements based on that feedback are central to this Intended Learning Outcome.
What is ILO 5: Learning?
Students are expected to actively contribute, support peers, and engage in shared problem‑solving as part of this responsibility.
What is collaboration?
The main purpose of the research component is to support professional decisions using this, rather than relying on intuition or gut feeling.
What is data (original research data)?
When AI is used in a portfolio, students must include this document to explain how the AI supported their writing.
What is an AI usage statement?
This portfolio rule limits how often the same piece of evidence may be reused across sub‑ILOs.
What is using the same piece of evidence no more than twice?
This Intended Learning Outcome evaluates how well a student collaborates with stakeholders, communicates professionally, and considers cultural context.
What is ILO 4: Professionalism?
Students are expected to document feedback, insights, collaborative problem‑solving, and personal growth from intervision in this Capstone component.
What is the portfolio?
A marketing plan or corporate video typically requires this research variation, resulting in a report of approximately 10–20 pages.
What is Supporting Research?
If any section of a portfolio or research report is written in a language other than English, students must provide this.
What is an English translation?
Besides the portfolio document itself, students must submit a compressed file containing supporting materials, such as feedback forms and work logs.
What is a ZIP file with supporting evidence?
Identifying a relevant problem, choosing appropriate research methods, and applying data to support decisions are all assessed under this ILO.
What is ILO 1: Research?
***DOUBLE JEOPARDY*** DIEP, STARR, and Gibbs are examples of these tools students are encouraged to use to structure their intervision reflections.
What are reflection models?
This research variation focuses on producing a full research report of around 50 pages and is primarily used in client‑focused, in‑company projects.
What is Applied Research?
If a portfolio is insufficient, this normally becomes the purpose of the scheduled oral exam time slot.
What is a feedback session?
This evidence requirement ensures that skills and competencies are demonstrated across multiple contexts, not just once.
What is variation?
Using clear development phases, applying professional problem‑solving frameworks, and addressing ethics throughout the project are key indicators for this Intended Learning Outcome.
What is ILO 3: Management?
These assigned roles help ensure balanced participation during meetings and support skill development within the group.
What are rotating meeting roles (chairperson, minute‑taker, and timekeeper)?
In this research variation, the research itself is the Capstone product and must meet academic standards, contribute to academic debate, and demonstrate reproducible methods.
What is Academic Research?
To pass the Capstone, this weighted calculation determines your final grade.
What is 75% portfolio and 25% presentation & defense?
The portfolio should show that you can find new approaches when dealing with complex professional challenges.
What are unknown or unstructured professional issues?
