\ndigital submission tools in the Bb course from the Content > Assessment > Submission Tools sub-folder.
\n3 Assessment Overview
\nThe assessment baseline quotation is: \u201cLeadership in a team setting is much less about command and
\ncontrol, and more about getting the most out of a diverse and experienced group of individuals\u201d (Ernst &
\nYoung, 2013).
\n3.1 Belbin Self-Perception Inventory (SPI)
\nBefore writing your Academic Paper, you need to complete a Belbin Self-Perception Inventory (SPI)
\nquestionnaire to ascertain your preferred team role(s) according to Belbin\u2019s team roles theory. The
\nmodule leader will invite you to complete a Belbin SPI questionnaire by emailing your Northumbria
\nUniversity inbox no later than 13:00 (UK time) on Monday, 21 February 2022. You must note the
\ninvitation will come from Admin@Belbin.com and not the module leader. You will need to check your
\njunk folder if you cannot see the message in your Northumbria University inbox.
\nYou must message the module leader using the Bb Messages tool if you cannot find the module
\nleader\u2019s invitation to complete a Belbin SPI from Admin@Belbin.com after checking your inbox and
\njunk folder. Do not email the module leader; this will slow down the module leader\u2019s response time
\n(see Module Handbook and Panopto Assignment Briefing video presentation for further information).
\n3.2 Peer Review
\nPeer Review has two steps. You can read what these steps are in the following two sub-sections. There
\nare only two possible marks for Peer Review: 0% or 100%. To gain 100%, you must complete both
\nsteps by the deadlines shown above in Section 2.4. You cannot receive a partial mark by completing
\nonly one of the steps. Neither can you apply for a Short Extension for Assessment Component
\n001 (Peer Review); this is because the module leader has notified the Student Engagement Team that it
\ncannot grant you a Short Extension for Assessment Component 001 (Peer Review).
\nPeer Review Step 1 Submission Requirements
\nYou will submit a digital copy in Microsoft 365 Word format of your draft Academic Paper to a Bb
\nAssignment digital submission tool called Peer Review Steps 1 & 2 in the Bb course’s Content >
\nAssessment > Submission Tools sub-folder. You must submit your draft Academic Paper anonymously.
\nWhen submitting your digital file, you need to be careful because your first submission attempt is
\ndeemed final; this means you cannot ask the module leader to give you a second opportunity should you
\ninadvertently upload the wrong file. You can find the maximum word limit for your Academic Paper below
\nfrom Section 5.3.
\nPeer Review Step 2 Submission Requirements
\nThe Bb Assignment digital submission tool will give you access to the Peer Review Step 2 process
\nimmediately after the Peer Review Step 1\u2019s submission deadline has passed. Peer Review Step 2
\nrequires you to provide constructive, supportive feedback using a structured template provided by the
\nmodule leader for two students\u2019 draft Academic Papers. You will find the Peer Review Step 2 Structure
\nFeedback Template from the Content > Assessment sub-folder in the Bb course. You will use the Bb
\nAssignment digital submission tool called \u2018Peer Review Steps 1 & 2\u2019 in the Content > Assessment >
\nSubmission Tools sub-folder in the Bb course to write your reviews using the feedback template as a
\nguide. You must submit your reviews anonymously. You can find the minimum and maximum word limits
\nfor Peer Review Step 2 below from Section 5.2.
\n3.3 Academic Paper
\nMetaphorically using your Belbin SPI questionnaire as an appraisal instrument, i.e., a conceptual lens
\nthrough which you will reflect on your past observations of people and their behaviour while working in
\nteams, you must write an academic paper that addresses the following two tasks. Between the two
\nmain sections of your academic writing, you must include an appropriate segue linking the separate
\nsections together.
\nDr Allan Osborne | KB7036 and AT7026 People in Project Management Page 3 of 6
\nTask 1 \u2013 Belbin\u2019s Team Roles Theory
\nIn this section of your Academic Paper, the module leader requires you to write a clear and coherent
\nnarrative detailing your opinion concerning the validity of your Belbin SPI questionnaire report and
\nBelbin\u2019s Team Roles Theory. While doing so, you are required to use published papers you have
\nchosen from primary literature sources in leadership, management, and organizational sciences as the
\ntheoretical underpinning for your academic writing.
\nTask 2 \u2013 People and Behaviour Theories
\nIn this section of your Academic Paper, the module leader requires you to write a clear and coherent
\nacademic debate detailing the opposing viewpoints concerning the validity of critical theories
\nassociated with a single \u2018People and Behaviour\u2019 domain assigned to you. While doing so, you are
\nrequired to use published papers you have chosen from primary literature sources in leadership,
\nmanagement, and organizational sciences as the theoretical underpinning for your academic debate.
\n\u2018People and Behaviour\u2019 Domain
\nWhen the module leader posted this assessment brief on the Bb course, he also posted a document titled
\n\u2018Assigned People and Behaviour Domains\u2019 in the Bb courses\u2019 Content > Assessment sub-folder.
\nIf you look at this document, you will see the domain the module leader has randomly assigned to you.
\nYou must write your Academic Paper using the people and behaviour domain assigned to you. If you
\nwrite your Academic Paper using a different domain, you will not have fully satisfied the assignment’s
\nrequirements for Task 2 for Assessment Component 002. As a result, the module leader will have to
\nreduce your unconfirmed mark for the Academic Paper.
\nTo ascertain the APM\u2019s definition of your allocated domain, you need to review the APM Body of
\nKnowledge 7th edition. You can access this publication free of charge by joining the APM as a student
\nmember. The APM\u2019s website explains how to become a student member. You should note that the APM
\ndoes not expect you to pay an annual membership fee while you are a student. You are classified as a
\nstudent when studying this module and your Master\u2019s degree.
\nAcademic Paper Submission Requirements
\nYou will submit a digital copy in Microsoft 365 Word format of your Academic Paper using the Microsoft
\n365 Word template provided by the module tutor to a Turnitin digital submission tool called \u2018Academic
\nPaper\u2019 in the Content > Assessment > Submission Tools sub-folder in the Bb course. You can find the
\nMicrosoft 365 Word template from the Bb course\u2019 Content > Assessment sub-folder. You must submit
\nyour Academic Paper anonymously. When submitting your digital file, you need to be careful because
\nyour first submission attempt is deemed final; this means you cannot ask the module leader to give
\nyou a second opportunity should you inadvertently upload the wrong file. You can find the maximum
\nword limit for the Academic Paper below from Section 5.3.
\n4 Referencing Style
\nThe module leader expects you to write your Academic Paper in an academically acceptable format. You
\nmust present your bibliographic citations in your text and reference list using the Cite Them Right
\nmethod of the Harvard referencing system. Cite Them Right is freely available to Northumbria University
\nstudents at https:\/\/www.citethemrightonline.com\/ You must enter your Northumbria University online user
\ncredentials to access the online guide.
\n5 Word Limits
\n5.1 Peer Review Step 1
\nYour draft Academic Paper for Peer Review Step 1 should have a minimum word count not less than
\n50% of the maximum word limit for the Academic Paper. It also must not exceed the maximum word
\nlimit for the Academic Paper.
\n5.2 Peer Review Step 2
\nYou will use a structured template provided by the module leader as a guide when writing the peer
\nreviews for the two draft Academic Paper assigned to you. Each section included in the Peer Review
\nStep 2 Structure Feedback Template has a minimum word count of 50 words. There is no maximum
\nword limit.
\nDr Allan Osborne | KB7036 and AT7026 People in Project Management Page 4 of 6

\nwill typically occur after the end-of-level Progression and Awards Board (PAB). If you pass the module
\nfollowing a referral attempt, you will be awarded the module pass mark for level 7 modules, i.e., 50%. If
\nyou become eligible to complete a referral attempt but are subsequently unable to undertake the
\nopportunity when required, you will be permitted to re-sit the module at the next scheduled sitting; this will
\ngenerally entail the suspension of your progression on your programme of study until such time that you
\nhave completed the level and become eligible to proceed. The date and time of the examination for your
\nreferral attempt will usually be confirmed to you by Academic Registry via the University\u2019s website and not
\nby the module leader.
