    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Lectures and tutorials involve students in learning activities including content, case studies and a computer simulation of a segmented market context. In the computer simulation students will deal with large amounts of data, learn to analyze data appropriate to the strategic
    needs, learn to ignore irrelevant data, and deal with changing market conditions. Case studies will be used to appreciate the benefits and
    limitations of rational planning processes and ways to manage in quickly changing business environments.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Detail
    Attendance at 80% of tutorials is required as a minimum to pass this course.

    1. Biweekly quiz (x5) 25%

    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. Marketing Plan (10%): Each company will produce a strategic marketing plan that will form
    the basis of the decisions to be made for periods 1 to 8. The plan will contain:
    Executive summary
    Table of contents
    Situational analysis
    SWOT analysis
    Marketing objectives
    Marketing strateg including STP decisions
    Implementation and controls

    It is emphasised that the plan should have a longer-term perspective, which will guide the
    decision making to period 8 and beyond.
    As a guide, the length of this plan is likely to be 1000 to 1500 words.

    3. Simulation Performance (5%): This assessment is based on the firms
    overall financial performance at the end of the simulation.  Higher marks are awartded to those firms with a higher share price index.  Marks may also be adjusted based on group management factors such as submitting decisions on time and working well as a team.

    4. Simulation Review Presentation and Report(15%): Each company will
    present in class a briefing to the new team that will take over the management of their firm,
    and should include the following elements:
    • Analysis of past performance
    • Main strategies pursued
    • Main adjustments made to changes in the environment
    • Key points learned through past successes and failures
    • Recommendations for the future

    Each company will have a maximum of 15 minutes to verbally present and will also be
    required to submit a report of approximately 2000 words..
    .
    Please note that ALL group work will be peer assessed and marks will be awarded based on
    individual contributions to the team. Each group will be expected to keep a record of group
    meetings and attendance, which should be submitted at the end of the semeseter.

    5. Final exam (45%): The format and exam approach will be discussed in class
    All students must pass the final exam to pass the subject. Those who would have an overall
    passing grade, but have failed the final exam will be returned with a failing mark irrespective of what their actual final mark might have been.

    To gain a pass, a mark of at least 45% must be obtained on the examination as well as a total of at least 50% overall.

    Legible hand-writing and the quality of English expression are considered to be integral parts of the assessment process. Marks may be deducted in the final examination because of poor hand-writing.
    Assessment marks prior to the final exam will be provided at the final Review lecture. Students are encouraged to check their marks and notify the lecturer-in-charge of any discrepancies

    Submission
    Students should submit work through MyUni, as indicated by the text associated with each assessment. Deadlines are not negotiable once set at the end of week 2 of the course. Please use an assessment cover-sheet. Please keep a backup copy of submitted work. Assessment will occur within 10 business days. Feedback is in the form annotated notes. Work assessed is not redeemable. Any personal reasons for difficulty in meeting assessments should be communicated to the course coordinator as soon as possible.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
