While you may wish to read other textbooks, you may benefit more from developing an understanding of marketing activities and competitive responses to these, starting with the examples presented in your text. So it will be to your advantage while studying this course to pay as much attention as possible to the marketing activities going on around you. You can do this in a number of ways:

      ·   Develop close liaison with marketing managers where you work;
      ·   Regular monitoring of the local business media;
      ·   Daily scrutiny of a business newspaper;
      ·   Accessing business publications on the internet.

All class material will be available on MyUni with all assignments to be submitted into Turnitin via the MyUni page. Should face to face classes be restricted, alll classes will take place online at the same times as per the timetable.

Assignment Guidelines including Referencing Details
A copy of the 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/about/publications/colour_communication_skills.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 undergraduate 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 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 to the due date of individual assessment may be granted under special circumstances. An extension request based on medical or compassionate grounds must include a professional report and evidence found in the Replacement Assessment application available at: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/pdfs/maca_medical_compassionate_applic.pdf. 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. This application must be emailed to the lecturer in charge of the course before the due date. Each request will be assessed on its merits.
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 according to the schedule below.
Submitting your assignment late (with or without an extension) also means you miss the primary marking cycle which may lead to a later return to you. There is a 5% penalty per day or part thereof.
So without an extension, one day or part thereof late: 5% penalty
Two days or part thereof of two days: 10% penalty
Three days or part thereof of three days: 15% penalty
Four days or part theroft of four days: 20% penalty.
Material that is submitted more than five days’ late will not be accepted.
If you receive an extension and submit beyond the extension date, then late penalties will apply.
You do not have an ‘extension’ just because you ask for one – the Lecturer in Charge needs to give you an extension. You need to provide evidence to support your claims. A weekend is counted as two days.
