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 you are expected 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 classes.

Students undertaking the course are expected to satisfy all following assessment requirements:

1. To gain a pass for this course, a mark of at least 45% must be obtained on the examination as well as a total of at least 50% overall on all assessments. Students not achieving the minimum exam mark will be awarded no more than 49.

2. Students are encouraged to check their marks and notify the Lecturer-in-Charge of any discrepancies.

3. All assignments will be checked for plagiarism via TurnItIn through the MyUni website. This is a computer programme that detects plagiarised work.

This course has Group Work. Please note, in life you must work with other people, some may have different communication styles, working styles, levels of ability. Typically ALL group members receive the same mark for the group assignment. It is up to the group to work co-operatively together and ensure everyone does their fair share. If there is sufficient evidence to suggest a group member has NOT participated and contributed, the Lecturer in Charge reserves the right to adjust marks.

For ALL assessable works, please use quality research sources. This means you DO NOT use Wikipedia, blogs, Kwintessential, unknown websites with no authors (unless they are government or industry or corporate sites). So do not use essay sites, case study sites, slideshare. Some theory sources are useful for all pieces.

1. Biweekly quiz (x5) 15%

Every two weeks a quiz will be posted on Canvas containing 10 multiple choice questions to be completed in 15 minutes. The questions will relate to the topic and lecture material from the previous 2 weeks (this can also include questions relating to the simnulation itself). The quiz will be available online from the Friday until the Sunday night. Failure to complete the quiz in the time period will result in a zero grade for that quiz. A medical certificate must be provided if a quiz is missed due to health reasons.


2. Strategic Marketing Plan 25%

An extension request based on illness or on exceptional personal circumstances must include the "Supporting Statement / Certification Form" that is page 4 of the Supplementary Assessment application available at: www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/pdfs/supp_applic.pdf

Students applying for an extension based on medical reasons must visit their medical practitioner, with that approved 最新糖心Vlog form, and have the medical practitioner complete it. A normal doctor's certificate will not be accepted. For supplementary examination on compassionate grounds refer to: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/pdfs/supp_applic.pdf

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 will generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons. 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 a 5% mark reduction for each day that it is late.
