Library Resources
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide’s Barr Smith Library provides a range of learning resources including texts, journals, periodicals, magazines, and access to online databases and information services. It also offers a virtual library which is accessible via the 最新糖心Vlog’s website. .

is the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's online learning environment. It is used to support traditional face-to-face lectures, tutorials and workshops at the 最新糖心Vlog. MyUni provides access to various features including announcements, course materials, discussion boards and assessments for each online course of study.

Design thinking will be delivered in 2 x 2 full day intensive workshops.

Students will also be required to read materials from Stanford as well as materials posted by the lecturer. They will be assigned groups and be required to design a design thinking session in the interim, pre-test it and be ready to conduct a session in the second intensive.

As a guide, a 3 unit course comprises a total of 156 hours work (this includes face-to-face contact, any online components, and self directed study).

Individual Assignment
Two individual assignments will be distributed during the lectures.

---

Group Project A team based field report on how some selected organisation has approached a particular operations management problem or issue, how they apply a particular or various operations management principles to their specific operational environment eg. Supply Chain Management, Operations Scheduling, Quality Management etc. will be required to be submitted by the final intensive session.

This will ideally be based on a “live” company example that students have access to or alternately, could be research based. Eg. consider a well known company where there is a lot of information available in the public domain. The report should attempt to provide a critical assessment based on concepts and principles learning during the subject and make recommendations for improvement.

Each group should submit a brief (half a page at the most) write up of what they propose to do for the group project component by the end of week 2. The final group report is due in at the final intensive lecture session. Word limit 2,500 words.

Group Presentation
Teams will be required to prepare a 20 minute presentation on their project to be delivered during the final scheduled lecture session (afternoon of the 2^nd day of the final intensive). All members of the team will be required to present. Time keeping will be strictly enforced.

Submission of Assignments and Project Report
Assignments and project reports should be submitted in softcopy as pdf files. If an assignment is made up of multiple documents, these should be compiled into a single pdf file.
Please name your file with your name or initials and what it is. (Eg. Mz-assign1.pdf).

Presentation of Assignments

• Please be sure to retain a copy for yourself of all assignments submitted.
• Please attach an ‘Assignment Cover Sheet’, which is signed and dated by you before submission.
• All group assignments must be attached to a ‘Group Assignment Cover Sheet’, which must be signed and dated by all group members before submission. All team members are expected to contribute approximately equally to a group assignment.
• Lecturers can refuse to accept assignments, which do not have a signed acknowledgement of the 最新糖心Vlog’s policy on plagiarism.

All text based assignments must be submitted via MyUni.
Please refer to step by step instructions:

There are a few points to note about the submission of assignments:

• Assignment Submission:  Assignments should not be emailed to the instructor; they must be lodged via the MyUni Course site (unless specified to do both). Note that assignments may be processed via TURNITIN, which is an online plagiarism prevention tool.
• Cover Sheet:  Please include in the assignment a completed 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Assessment Cover Sheet providing details of yourself and your team members (if applicable), your assignment, the course, date submitted, etc. as well as the declaration signed by you that this is your (your team’s) work.  Note that the declaration on any electronically submitted assignment will be deemed to have the same authority as a signed declaration.
• Backup Copy of Assignments:  You are advised to keep a copy of your assignments in case the submitted copy goes missing.  Please ensure that all assignment pages are numbered. If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
• Extensions of Time:  An application for Assessment Extension should be made well before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer.  Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date.  Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances.
• Failure to submit: Failure to submit an assignment on time or by the agreed extension deadline may result in penalties and may incur a fail grade.  Note that a late penalty of 5% of the total available marks for that assessment item will be incurred each day an assignment is handed in late (Unless otherwise stated in 'Assessment Related Requirements' or 'Assessment Detail' above). Assignments handed in after 14 days from the due submission date will fail even if a 100% mark is granted for the work.

Resubmission & Remarking
Resubmission of an assignment for remarking after reworking it to obtain a better mark will not normally be accepted.  Approval for resubmission will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds.
