Practical assignment SFM

During the SFM course, specific attention is paid to (large) public events and the issues that come with it. The lessons are a supplement to the previously acquired knowledge.
SFM wil be tested with a practical assignment (report for a next edition) and a presentation.
The student adopt a well-known sporting event or festival and, among other things, have to carry out fieldwork, where the event location has to be explored.
For this course a practical assignment is taken which consists of an extensive analysis of an event selected by the student. The assignment must be made individually. From the role of an external advisor, the student will receive at least 5 relevant recommendations for a next edition of the event. The report must have a maximum of 25 pages, assuming 375 words per page, up to a max of 9000 words.
In week 10 and 11 it is expected that students will give a short presentation in which only the changes will be presented for the next edition.
During lesson week 11, the complete report must be submitted. If the student has not given a presentation, the final report will not be assessed. Giving the presentation is one of the conditional criteria of the assessment framework. If the student has to resit the presentation, the student must record the presentation on a digital movie.

HEB3
The course code HEB3 is also part of this course. As a volunteer you will be involved in a day at one of the events below or another event of your choice. However, this event must meet the conditions (see HEB3). This happens in the first semester of grade 3.

• Amsterdam Marathon in October
• from Dam to Dam run in September
• Military in Boekelo in October
  During this day you will participate in one of the departments of this event. You will experience the event from the position of a volunteer and will explore how it is to help as a volunteer at a big event.
  You will be assessed with a sufficient / insufficient by the organization. In addition, a short report must also be submitted with an answer to some substantive questions.
  This report is also assessed with sufficient / insufficient.
  Both parts must be sufficient.
  In lesson week 9 information is given about the registrations for this assignment (HEB3).

Description Practical assignment:

The presentation

In week 10 or 11, the student must give a presentation in the class about his chosen case.
