  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    The core text is:

    Robbins, S.P., Judge, T.A., Edwards, M., Sandiford, P., Fitzgerald, M., & Hunt, J. (2019) Organisational Behaviour, 9th Edition, Melbourne: Pearson

    This text provides the basic framework for the lecture program and is required reading to prepare for the weekly topics. Please note that the weekly schedule specifies one or more chapters to serve as an introduction to the weekly topic. However, as is the case with many textbooks, there is no perfect fit with our schedule.

    An electronic version of this text is available at a substantial discount from the printed version.

    Each week additional readings and other sources, such as case analyses or videos, will be specified on myuni to enable candidates to explore each topic more fully. It is essential that all readings and preparation exercises are completed each week. These readings and associated activities are an essential part of the learning experience.

    If you have any uncertainty or questions about anything you have read please raise these on the myuni forum; if you find anything unclear it is likely that other coursemates will do too, so please do not be afraid to ask questions.
    Recommended Resources
    Students are encouraged to read beyond the textbook to enhance the learning experience. Journal articles can be accessed using the online databases.

    Two useful databases are:

  • Assessment

    The University'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 Summary
    There are three main tasks:
    1. Contributing to weekly discussions of topics by reviewing appropriate literature and answering set questions.
    2. Submission of one essay
    3. Submission of two case studies


    Assessment Detail
    Each type of assessment contributes 25% to the total grade ie discussions 25%, essay 25%, case studies
    25% each
    Submission
    All assignment submissions will be online through MyUni.

    Turnitin is a software used for checking and marking student assignments. For most of your courses, you will hand in your assignments via Turnitin, and the markers will give you feedback via Turnitin as well. Turnitin will also give you an originality report. This report will tell you how similar your writing is to other texts that can be found online and in other student assignments.

    Getting an originality report from Turnitin before you hand in your assignment.

    To access the tool, go to MyUni and find a course called Turnitin Originality Check. Enter this course and upload your assignment draft.
    Your instructors will not see any drafts you submit there, and none of these drafts will be considered if you subsequently submit your edited and finalised assignment through Turnitin for marking within your course (if your instructor has enabled Turnitin assignment submission in your MyUni course).

    You cannot submit your assignments for marking through the Turnitin self-assessment tool. You can only check your assignment drafts for originality.

    If you have any questions about academic integrity, plagiarism, or the results you receive generated through the Turnitin originality report using the Turnitin self-assessment tool please visit us in the Writing Centre or email your questions to the course coordinator.

    Plagiarism is a serious violation of the Academic Integrity Policy. For more information on plagiarism, see /writingcentre/resources/avoiding-plagiarism

    Please note that students must retain a copy of all assessments submitted. 

    Note: A late assignment (without prior arrangement/approval of extension from course coordinator) will be penalised by a mark reduction for each day that it is late. Assignments that are submitted late will be penalised at 5% of the potential grade per day the assignment is late. 

    Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances. See sections 3 and 7a) i. in particular on assessment extensions in the Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment (MACA) Policy. Please apply for an extension (if needed) a few days or weeks in advance.

  • Student Feedback

    The University 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 University 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.
