This course utilises a two hour lecture and one hour tutorial each week to cover all topics for study.

To facilitate a full understanding of any topic, students are encouraged to both ask questions and participate in inclass activities. If there is material that any student does not understand, asking of questions at any time is encouraged.  Concepts from previous courses will serve as foundation for many of the topics under consideration.

There is an expectation that students will engage in additional readings, as well as the required text to gain a full appreciation of all aspects of the course.

The 最新糖心Vlog anticipates 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 likely to need 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 attendance in classes.

Students in this course are expected to attend all classes.

Assessment	Weighting	Related Learning Outcome
Participation	10%	1 to 4
Class Test	15%	1 to 4
Group Assignment	20%	1 to 5
Final exam (3 hours, closed book)	55%	1 to 4

The following additional conditions apply:

1. To gain a pass in this course, a mark of at least 45% must be obtained in the final examination as well as a total of at least 50% overall. Students who fail to achieve the minimum examination mark will be awarded no more than 49%.
2. Legible handwriting and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. You may lose marks in the examination due to poor handwriting.
3. Students in this course are not permitted to take a dictionary (English or English-Foreign) into the examination.
4. The use of a non-programmable calculator is permitted in this course.

Participation
The participation mark will be awarded based on individual input in tutorial sessions.  Attendance alone is not in iteslf grounds to be awarded a participation mark.  For example, though a student may attend every tutorial, but remains silent throughout the class by not offering responses to either assigned questions or in class discussions it is possible for a student to receive a participation mark of zero.  Alternatively, as a further example, a student who voluntarily contributes in all classes to all questions with thoughtful responses related to the topic (even if the answer is incorrect) may receive full participation marks.

Class test

Assignment
Detailed information on the group assignment will be made available on MyUni and will be discussed in the first lecture. A confidential peer assessment form must be completed by each group member and submitted separately to the assignment. Individual member marks may be modified based on feedback contained within the peer assessments for the group.  Based on this feedback a group member's mark may be adjusted by a maximum of 10% of the total available mark.

Final examination
Will be a 3 hour closed book exam and will be held during the examination period.

Assignment Guidelines including Referencing Details
A copy of the  will have been given to you at the beginning of your program. This guide will assist you structure your assignments. The 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 the preferred style of referencing for this course. Guidelines for the use of this style of referencing can be found in the . Further assistance with referencing is available from the Faculty’s Learning Support Advisors. The contact details are provided in the .

Each request will be assessed on its merits.

Every attempt is made to return assignments to students within two (2) weeks of the due date. Written feedback will be provided for each assignment. Students are responsible for collecting their marked assignments from the professions hub.
