Learning & Teaching Modes
Students are expected to complete relevant activities and readings before the seminar; the seminar will expand on the key points and provide examples. Seminars are used to discuss cases and theory application to enhance the learning development.Workload

The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies. This means that you are expected to commit approximately 9 hours for a three-unit course or 13 hours for a four-unit course, of private study outside of your regular classes.
Students in this course in Adelaide are expected to attend all lectures throughout the semester each week as scheduled. Please refer to Access Adelaide for your timetable and enrolment details.

- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task Task Type Weighting Learning Outcome Session Participation Individual 10% Pitch Presentation Individual 10% 1, 3 Media Consumption Journal Individual 20% 1, 2 Integrated Marketing Communications Plan Group 30% 1, 2, 3, 4 Exam Individual 30% 1, 2, 3
To pass this course you must gain a mark of at least 45% in the examination as well as a total mark of 50% overall.Assessment Detail
Media Consumption Journal (20% INDIVIDUAL): Students will engage in a media consumption journal composed of two parts. The first part requires students to maintain a media consumption diary. The media consumption diary allows students to experience marketing communications activities from a consumer angle. The second part of the assignment requires students to put on their ‘marketer hat’ to reflect on the course and research marketing communication theories to critically analyse the effectiveness of the marketing communications activities they have witnessed.
IMC Plan (30% GROUP): In groups, students will prepare a comprehensive Integrated Marketing Communications Plan for a client of their choice. Students will critically analyse the brand and its current marketing communications to identify emerging problems and opportunities and suggest a plan for a successful marketing communications campaign in an increasingly digital and ethical marketplace. Throughout the course, students will progressively learn the necessary components of a campaign in each week of content. In industry practice, these components typically form an Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) plan: research, segmentation, objectives, budget, media channels, creative considerations, planning and evaluation.
Pitch Presentations (10% INDIVIDUAL): Students will create and deliver a PowerPoint presentation version of their plan that will be shared with the class in week 12 for discussion. The presentation should summarise the IMC plan as if you were presenting the plan to your organisation’s executive leadership for approval.
Seminar Participation (10% INDIVIDUAL): Each week students are expected to engage in interaction with the assigned seminar activities through group and classroom discussions.
Final Exam (30% INDIVIDUAL): A three hour exam will be held at the end of the semester.
To pass this course you must gain a mark of at least 45% in the examination as well as a total mark of 50% overall.

Assignment Guidelines including Referencing Details
A copy of the Postgraduate Programs: Communication Skills Guide will have been given to you at the beginning of your program. This guide will assist you structure your assignments. A copy of the guide can also be downloaded from http://www.business.adelaide.edu.au/current/mba/download/2009MBACommSkillsGuide.pdf
This publication also provides guidelines on a range of other important communication skills including writing essays and management reports, making oral presentations etc.
In preparing any written piece of assessment for your postgraduate studies it is important to draw on the relevant ‘literature’ to support critical analysis. Also essential is to reference the literature used. Correct referencing is important because it identifies the source of the ideas and arguments that you present, and sometimes the source of the actual words you use, and helps to avoid the problem of plagiarism. (Further information on plagiarism is provided later in this course outline.)
The Harvard system is widely used in the Business School. Guidelines for the use of this style of referencing can be found in the Communication Skills Guide.
Further assistance with referencing is available from the Faculty’s Learning Support Advisors. The contact details are provided on page 6 of the Communication Skills Guide.
Late Assignment Submission
Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day that it is late.
Return of Assignments
Lecturer’s aim to mark and return assignments to students within two (2) weeks of the due date with written feedback. Students are responsible for collecting their marked assignments from either their lectures. If assignments aren’t collected after two (2) weeks, the assignments will be available at the Student Hub for two (2) weeks. The remaining assignments will only be posted out to the students, if the correct mailing addresses are on the assignments.

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.

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.
