You must ensure that thefile is in a workable condition before submissionPage 3 of 5Referencing guidelinesUse RMIT Harvard referencing style for this assessment. If you are using secondary sources, include theseas a final slide in your powerpoint deck.You must acknowledge all the courses of information you have used in your assessments.Refer to the RMIT Easy Cite referencing tool to see examples and tips on how to reference in theappropriated style. You can also refer to the library referencing page for more tools such as EndNote,referencing tutorials and referencing guides for printing.Submission formatYou must submit:• A Word file to explain your mathematical models, to report your answers, and to writerecommendations for decision makers based on the solutions and,• An Excel file to demonstrate how you use Solver to identify solutions. You must ensure that thefile is in a workable condition before submission• Both files should be submitted via the Canvas submission point.Academic integrity and plagiarismAcademic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the workof others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.You should take extreme care that you have:• Acknowledged words, data, diagrams, models, frameworks and/or ideas of others you have quoted(i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or mentioned in your assessment throughthe appropriate referencing methods• Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary.This includes material taken from Internet sitesIf you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because youhave passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were yourown.RMIT University treats plagiarism as a very serious offence constituting misconduct.Plagiarism covers a variety of inappropriate behaviours, including:• Failure to properly document a source• Copyright material from the internet or databases• Collusion between studentsFor further information on our policies and procedures, please refer to the University website.Assessment declarationWhen you submit work electronically, you agree to the assessment declaration.Page 4 of 5Assessment Criteria CriteriaRatingsPtsExcellentGoodFairPoorProblemFormulation(Word)The report shows how theproblem was formulated,defines decision variables, andexplains objective functions andtheir constraints correctly andclearly.The report shows how theproblem was formulated,defines decision variables, andexplains objective functionsand their constraints correctly,but there are some unclearareas.The report inadequately showshow the problem wasformulated, defines decisionvariables, and explains objectivefunctions and their constraintscorrectly.The report does not, orhardly, show how theproblem was formulated,define decision variables,and explain objectivefunctions and theirconstraints correctly.9.00 to > 6.74 pts6.74 to > 4.49 pts4.49 to > 2.24 pts2.24 to > 09Problem Solving(Word and Excel)The report explains how themodel was implemented andhow the solution was generatedin a step-by-step manner in theExcel sheet well.
