    Appropriate use of the Internet in assignments

    The purpose of this message is to assist students with appropriate use of the material they have accessed on the Internet in assignments. The Internet is a wonderful source of information and sometimes students are not aware of how to use it properly. For example, a recent case had over 70% of words copied from over 20 other sources. Furthermore, many students think this is the appropriate use of the Internet.

    IT IS NOT.

    There is a hierarchy of penalties, the lowest of which is the loss of some assignment marks and the student’s name being placed on the Faculty’s Academic Dishonesty Register for six months. This only occurs if it is believed that this occurred through error. The second level penalty is more significant which is loss of all marks for the assignment and being placed on the 最新糖心Vlog’s Academic Dishonesty Register for the remainder of their time at the 最新糖心Vlog. Even higher penalties can involve the 最新糖心Vlog deciding the student should not graduate.

    Appropriate use of the Internet is to include all directly copying of sections of other reports in ‘inverted commas’, as a quotation, and note the source of the quote. To include a group of words without use of inverted commas and without noting where the words came from is an example of academic dishonesty.

    Students may not be aware that the 最新糖心Vlog has use of an international database called Turnitin in which all direct use of other material can be traced.

    On a more positive note students need to understand the points made in any paper they access on the Internet and integrate these thoughts into their argument rather than just copying large passages. Of course this takes more work but this is what tertiary education requires and, in the end, make students into better thinkers and more able to express their ideas in their assignments.

    Scope:
    This assignment will assess your understanding of the course topics 5 - 7

    Task:
    Obtain the annual report of a company operating in the same industry as the one you are involved with (although same industry selection is preferable, it is not essential). Company reports of listed companies can usually be obtained from their web site under the heading of "Investor Relations".

    Using the financial reports, you are to undertake an analysis of the cash flow, financial performance and financial position of the company, considering liquidity, gearing, profitability, and operations management. Your focus should be from the perspective of advising a potential investor in the company.

    A separate analysis of the cash flow statement is required. Concentrate in your analysis on the last two reporting years as this is the most current date. However, use five years data to graph major trends where meaningful for your analysis.

    You should consider the performance of the company in the eyes of investors; that is, make recommendations as to the better investment opportunity based on your assessments of the performance of the company. Share performance details can be obtained from the web site of the stock exchange where the company's shares have been listed. Where share price data is used, state the date of the share price you are using and the source of data for the price.

    Good financial analysis would require you to compare and contrast your selected company with a major competitor, or with the industry as a whole.

    You may use any of the techniques and ratios discussed in the course. Comment on the results of your analysis. There is no need to include the financial statements in your report as they are usually available on a web site

    The company to be analysed must be approved by the lecturer before commencing the project (do not select construction companies, banks or insurance companies).

  • 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.

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.
