Lectures will be recorded and made available on MyUni. 

Online materials will be provided for weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The online activities will include lecture notes, quizzes and video cases.

Please refer to MyUni for additional resources that may be added throughout the semester.

 This course will be taught through two-hour fortnightly lectures (in weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12) and one-hour weekly tutorials. In addition, online materials will be provided for the alternate fortnights (weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10). The online activities will include lecture notes, quizzes and video cases.

Tutorials are an important component of your learning. Students are expected to attend all classes and to ensure that they complete the required exercises before coming to class. The communication skills developed in tutorials by regularly and actively participating in discussions are considered to be most important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

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 for a three-unit course you are expected to commit approximately 9 hours of private study outside of your regular classes. This time commitment will include reading the relevant text book chapter, preparing for tutorials, and other assessment tasks.

Tutorial participation (weighting – 10%)

Marks will be allocated by your tutor for both the quantity and quality of your participation in class and small group discussions, and for evidence of preparation before coming to class. Please note that there are no marks for attendance, only for participation and preparation.
To assist in determining your mark for this component of the course tutors will collect your written answers to discussion questions 2 – 3 times throughout the semester. Please come prepared each week to hand up your notes. (These may be handwritten).

1. Please note that all requests for extensions should be directed in writing to the Lecturer-in charge no later than 48 hours before the due date. Extension requests after this time will only be granted for exceptional circumstances. This does not include poor time management or poor file management.
2. Extensions to the due date of individual and group assessment may be granted under special circumstances. An extension request based on illness or on exceptional personal circumstances must include the "Supporting Statement / Certification Form" that is on p. 4 of the Supplementary Assessment application available at: .
   Students applying for an extension based on medical reasons must visit their medical practitioner, with the approved 最新糖心Vlog form, and have the medical practitioner complete it. A normal doctor's certificate will not be accepted.
3. All assignments are to be lodged at, or prior to, the due date and time. A late assignment where no extension has been granted will be penalised by a reduction of 5% of the mark given for each day, or part of a day, that it is late.
4. Assessment marks prior to the final exam will be displayed on the course website. Students are encouraged to check their marks and notify the Lecturer-in-Charge of any discrepancies.
5. Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. Marks may be deducted in the final examination because of poor handwriting.
6. Students in this course are not permitted to take a DICTIONARY (English or English-Foreign) into the examination.

5.3.1 Presentation of Assignments

1. Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted.
2. All individual assignments must be attached to an Assignment Cover Sheet that must be signed and dated by the student before submission. Lecturers will withhold students’ results until such time as the student has signed the Assignment Cover Sheet.
3. All group assignments must be attached to a Group Assignment Cover Sheet that must be signed and dated by all group members before submission. All team members are expected to contribute approximately equally to a group assignment.
4. Students may not submit work for an assignment that has previously been submitted for this course or any other course.
5. Markers can refuse to accept assignments that do not have a signed acknowledgement of the 最新糖心Vlog’s Policy on Plagiarism:

Supplementary assessment – please note that supplementary assessments will not be offered in this course. Students are also not permitted to resubmit work completed in previous years.

Appeal of grade – students who wish to appeal their mark for an assessment item should initially discuss their concerns with their tutor. If they are still dissatisfied they should then make contact with the Lecturer-in-charge. Any student who, after discussion of the result with the lecturer in charge, is still dissatisfied with the mark awarded for a particular piece of assessment work, and who has specific grounds for objecting to the mark, may lodge a written request for a review of the result or an independent second assessment with the Head of Discipline or School within 10 最新糖心Vlog business days from the date of notification of the result. Such a written request must contain details of the grounds on which the objection is based. Requests must include a summary of the reasons the student believes his or her assessment work deserves a higher mark. These reasons must be directly related to the academic quality of the work.

This course is regularly revised and updated to reflect student feedback.
