North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2014

This course links the fields of macroeconomics and finance. It provides coverage of economic principles that underlie the operation of banks and other financial institutions. The role of money in the economy and the impact of monetary policy on the macroeconomy are examined. The course aims at providing students with the means to analyse monetary questions and institutions. It is not a course designed to further technical expertise in the instruments used in financial markets. This course provides a smooth transition for those intending to pursue economics at the profesional level.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Tutorial Participation 30%
    Mid-Semester Exam 20%
    Final Exam 50%
    Assessment Related Requirements
    Students must obtain an overall grade of 50% to pass the course. This does not mean that students have to achieve 50% for each and every assessment task or for the final examination; but the sum of all assessment tasks must equal or exceed 50%.
    Assessment Detail
    Mid-term: maximum marks = 20
    • The mid-term exam will take place on Tuesday 16th September, from 10:00 to 11:00 am, in the usual lecture theatre (Horace Lamb 1022).
    • The mid-term exam will cover the material that will have been discussed during the lectures and tutorials up to the date of the mid-term exam
    • The mid-term will count for 20% of the final course grade
    • There will be no retake or supplementary exam for the mid-term exam. Any student who misses the mid-term exam, for whatever reason, will have his/her final exam mark reweighted to count 70% towards the final course grade.
    Tutorial Participation: maximum marks = 30
    • "Tutorial Participation" will count for 30% of the final course grade
    • The marks for "Tutorial Participation" will be affected by 2 components:
              a. Regular attendance and active participation;
              b. The quality of the student's written solution to the weekly tutorial assignment. Each week, tutors will randomly selected a few students and grade their homeworks.


    Final Exam: maximum marks = 50

    The Final Exam will be a closed-book 3-hour examination. The final examination date will be advised by the 最新糖心Vlog. Students are required to make themselves available for the entire examination period. I will not make special arrangements for any student.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
