4. Using Prof Forbes list of topics for investigation by an evaluation team, decide for yourself one hospital/ health centre department that you are familiar with and select the key aspects which would apply if you were to conduct an evaluation. Make a list of points as to why these selected topics are important in this case:
Adequacy of space for activities performed,
Ability to find the way around easily,
Suitability of lighting for various tasks,
Thermal comfort & ventilation
Sound control & acoustics,
Privacy & confidentiality of speech & documents,
Safety & security of people & belongings,
Suitability of finishes for cleaning & appearance,
Adequate provision of storage space,
Sufficient service outlets suitably placed,
Economy of movement and circulation space,
Sufficient service outlets suitably placed
Economy of movement & circulation space,
Convenient location of facilities,
Adaptability for different activities,
Ease of access for loading & unloading goods,
Suitability for handicapped or disabled people,
Appearance in terms of colour, character etc.
Stage 4: Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE).
The POE objectives are to:
• Evaluate whether the built facility is achieving the service and planning objectives.
• Incorporate the outcomes and lessons learned from each project to enhance documentation which supports the POFP, and seek systemic improvement in the planning and procurement of capital infrastructure across the NSW public health system.
Key points to note in relation to POE are:
• The timeframe and scope for the POE will be dependent on the project scope.
• A minimum data set applies to all POEs to provide a consistency across projects.
• Stakeholders may identify other specific requirements to be addressed. POEs are conducted on selected projects, and are a requirement of NSW Government.

The Production of News – 2000 word news analysis project
The first mode of assessment is a theoretically informed discussion of a news item. This project aims to assess your analytical skills and your ability to evaluate the applicability of the theories discussed in this module.
– The news item can be a recent news story from a newspaper or a news website; a news video; a magazine feature. In your discussion, you should explain which journalism practices you think were used in the production of the selected news item and why. Your argument should be supported with relevant theories from the literature. Below are some examples of how you can approach the news item:
-> Discuss the news values through which the events in the story were presented and how objective the story seemed.
-> Discuss the source used in the story and explain why some sources may have had greater influence on journalists than others.
-> In a story about a war / conflict, explain the process through which the information may have been controlled.
-> Explain the process through which the image of a criminal may have been created in a given news story.
-> Discuss the professional news practices and the exogenous factors that may have shaped a sports news story.
-> In a magazine story, explain how different the construction of its content could be to the construction of a newspaper story.NOTE: This list of examples is intended to give you direction and is not exhaustive
