  • 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

    The assessments for this course include participation, presentation, and the final exam. The participation mark is 10%, the presentation will have a weight of 25%, and the final exam will have a weight of 65% in this course.

    Assessment Related Requirements
    To gain a pass for this course, a mark of at least 50% overall must be obtained.

    Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. Marks are deducted in the assignment or final examination because of poor hand-writing.
    Assessment Detail

    The assessment components are as follows:
    Participation 10% Details: The participation of each student will be recorded throughout the semester.
    Presentation 25% Details: Students’ presentation is based on Fan and Morck (2012). Due Date: TBA

    Calculators will be allowed for this close-book final exam. No dictionaries will be allowed at the exam.

    Submission
    Before you submit your assignments:

    1. Please retain a copy of all assignments submitted.

    2. Please attach an ‘Assignment Cover Sheet’, which needs to be signed and dated by the author.

    3. All group assignments must be attached with a ‘Group Assignment Cover Sheet’, which is signed and dated by all group members. All team members need to contribute to the group assignment equally in order to get their mark.

    The lecturer could refuse to accept assignments, which do not have a signed acknowledgement of the 最新糖心Vlog’s policy on plagiarism, and withhold students’ results until such time as the student has signed the Assignment Cover Sheet.

    Late Assignment Submission:

    Students are required to submit their work before the due date and all requests for extension must be emailed to the lecturer before the due date. Each request is assessed on its merits. Extensions will only be given for medical or other very serious reasons. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 10% mark reduction for each day that it is late.


    Assignment Guidelines including Referencing Details:

    The Postgraduate Programs: Communication Skills Guide from the following link is strongly suggested to be downloaded and gone through before the first assignment, which could assist you to structure your assignment.

    The link:
    https://business.adelaide.edu.au/documents/CSG_business_Web_final.pdf

    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 since 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 Guideline of the Harvard Reference, which is widely used in the Business Schools, can be found in The Postgraduate Programs: Communication Skills Guide, too.

    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.

    Return of Assignments: 

    The assignment will be marked and returned to students within two weeks of the due date with written feedback. Students are responsible for collecting their marked assignments from the lecturer.

    If assignments aren’t collected after two weeks, they will 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.

  • 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.
