Late Submission(s): “Late assessment must also be submitted through Turnitin. No extensions will be granted. There will be a deduction of 10% of the total available marks made from the total awarded mark for each 24 hour period or part thereof that the submission is late (for example, 25 hours late in submission incurs a 20% penalty). Late submissions will not be accepted after solutions have been discussed and/or made available.   This penalty does not apply for cases in which an application for Special Consideration is made and approved. Note: applications for Special Consideration Policy must be made within 5 (five) business days of the due date and time.”

Teaching and Learning Activities

The last page of this assessment guide contains a list of the topics that will be covered in classes over the duration of the session. Also included are details of weekly readings, weekly homework questions and additional self-study questions.

Class structure

Each session will involve a tutorial segment, discussing assigned weekly homework questions from the previous week. The session will then continue with a lecture covering the next topic.

You are not required to have completed the weekly reading prior to attending the weekly lecture, however some students find reading prior to classes useful. ALL the content within the readings is examinable and you are expected to have completed the readings prior to attempting relevant assessment tasks.

Weekly homework questions

You are required to prepare solutions to the weekly homework questions prior to attending the following class. As solutions to selected weekly homework questions will be discussed in class, this gives you an opportunity to discuss any problems or difficulties you are experiencing with the subject content.

Solutions to weekly homework questions will be placed online (ilearn.mq.edu.au) on Friday afternoon the week the homework is due with the exception of Topic 1 homework which will be released at the end of Week 1.

In class case studies

Solutions to the in class case studies will be discussed in classes but will not be posted online.

Technology Used and Required                          

Students will need access to Microsoft Excel, Word and Powerpoint to enable completion of various assessment tasks throughout the session.
