    2. Other editions of the above text are NOT the same as our required text.

    Recommended Resources
    You have access to numerous resources in the library including scholarly journals and alternative contemporary texts on management. You are encouraged to read widely and critically with a focus on recent work (less than 5 years old) in periodicals, refereed academic journals and books.

    The Communication Skills Guide and The 成人大片 Writing Centre are helpful resources for your academic writing and observance of the protocols and conventions of the Harvard referencing style.
    Online Learning
    This course utilises MyUni as a communication and assessment tool. Students should be actively scanning the MyUni course webpage regularly.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course is delivered through 12 weekly online lectures (focused on one topic per week) of one-hour duration. Lectures are supported by 12 two-hour workshops. These activities are important interactive components of your learning.

    Note: Preparation and active attendance at all the 12 workshops and the completion of 10 online quizzes are expected. Participation grades are based on your weekly workshop participation. Just completing the workshop tasks would not suffice to get participation grades.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    The University expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies. Students in this three-unit course are expected to listen to the weekly lectures (1 x 1 hour), attend their allocated weekly workshop class (1 x 2 hours) and meetings with their workshop facilitators (tutors) throughout the semester. This means you are expected to commit approximately 9 hours a week to private study.

    Students are expected to…

    • Undertake all required readings for the course (e.g., topics from the prescribed course textbook).
    • Be prepared for workshops by completing pre-reading and preparing questions and reflections
    • Listen to all the online lectures and actively participate (e.g., sharing ideas, asking questions) in all the workshops.
    • Complete and submit all items of assessment by the prescribed due dates.


    Learning Activities Summary
    Please refer to the Course Outline on MyUni.

    Assessment 1:
    Workshop Participation (10%)
    You are expected to participate in all scheduled workshops and be prepared to discuss your ideas on the questions outlined in the workshop schedule. You may wish to demonstrate you are prepared by emailing your work to your Workshop Facilitator before the workshop. Nonetheless, the onus remains on you to demonstrate your preparedness to your Workshop Facilitator. Each student will be awarded 0, ½ or 1 mark for each of the workshops, and the best 10 weekly marks will be used to calculate the aggregate mark for this assessment. When determining a weekly mark, workshop facilitators will consider whether the student:
    • Is prepared: refers to notes, introduces ideas and questions from the week’s text
    • Contributes: adds new ideas, suggests new connections, raises relevant issues
    • Seeks clarification: re concepts, terminology, expectations
    • Interacts: builds on others’ ideas, uses humour positively, stays on track
    • Communicates clearly: demonstrates appropriate pace, volume and ideas

    Permission for any absence is generally only acceptable for medical or compassionate reasons. All such requests should be accompanied by documentary evidence from a social service professional (e.g. doctor, counsellor) and will be assessed on its merits.


    Assessment 2: 

    Weekly Quizzes (20%)
    Starting week 3, your online quizzes will be based on the previous week's topic. The duration of the quiz is 60 minutes and can be attempted once only. There will be a total of 25 multiple-choice questions. The online quizzes are based on your course textbook content. Each week (each Monday), the quizzes will begin at 9 am Adelaide time and finish on Sunday at 11.59 pm Adelaide time. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that you find time to complete the quizzes before they are due. Failure to do so will result in you losing your grade for that week's quiz. Please understand that extensions can only be given based on medical reasons. No other reasons (e.g., forgot, busy, work and so on) will be accepted as valid reasons for the extension.

    Please refer to MyUni for more details about the quizzes and deadlines.


    Assessment 3:
    Midterm Test (10%)
    Mid-Term Test will be scheduled for Week 6.

    The purpose of the test is to provide you with the opportunity to ascertain how you are progressing in the course and give you an idea of the type of questions asked in the final exam (hence why the test is only 10%). The test will assess material covered in topics 1 to 3 inclusive.
    Note: You are not allowed to copy and paste the definitions from the textbook or any other sources. The questions will test your understanding of the concepts and are not designed to test your memory only.

    Revision tips:
    Be mindful of the learning outcomes for each of the three topics;
    Review the lecture slides and the prescribed reading for the three topics;
    Revisit the workshop questions prescribed for the three topics;
    Make sure you understand key terms and key concepts from the three topics.

    Please refer to MyUni for more details about the midterm test.


    Assessment 4:
    Group Assignment (30%)
    4.1 Group Case Study Report (15%)
    4.2 Group Case Study Presentations (15%)

    Assessment 4.1
    Group Case Study Report (15%)
    The case study assignment for the group report is available via MyUni. There are often multiple ways in which a case study can be analysed and interpreted. This case study assignment is about making sense of actual managerial issues, applying the theories and frameworks you have learned in this course, problem-solving and decision making in complex situations, coping with ambiguities, working in a team, and your academic writing skills, including referencing (e.g., Harvard Referencing Style).

    In this assignment, students will be required to analyse a real-life case study and identify the underlying issues, possible alternative courses of action to address the issues identified, provide a recommended course of action and justification why. The comprehensive material provided in the case will need to be used to support your analysis and recommendations. Please refer to MyUni for the information on the prescribed case study.

    Students will be allocated into groups of 5 in their workshops. The case study assignment can be downloaded from the MyUni course website. Each group will be required to produce a five-page (Times New Roman or Arial, 12 pt, 1.5 lines) business report using the below guideline. A key aspect of your grade will also be related to how well your group responds to the challenge of 1) including all the relevant information in a well-written, concise 5-page report, 2) skillfully applying the appropriate theories and frameworks covered in class, and 3) formulating and presenting an overall argument that is convincing and supported by case evidence.

    Your report should include (guideline):
    • Introduction: Identify the key management issues from the case and identify your audience, i.e., who are you reporting to (shareholders, the board of directors, management, employees, etc.).
      • Analysis: Conduct a brief analysis using the theories and frameworks from the class to explain the causes and outcomes of the key issues you identified in the Introduction, indicating the one main managerial problem that you find most important to cater to.
      • Alternative solutions: Drawing upon the concepts learned in this course, formulate three feasible solutions that could be used to resolve the one main managerial problem that you have identified. You must identify the pros and cons of each of the three solutions.
      • Recommendation: Select one single solution from the three alternative solutions that you have suggested that could solve the main managerial problem. Discussing your recommendation, you must identify and highlight the possible risks to your recommendation, and how these risks might be mitigated. It is important that you present the action plan that should be taken to implement your recommendation, and which would minimise the potential risks that you have identified.
      • Desired state: From a management perspective, outline the ultimate goals that you wish to achieve and specifically relate these to your recommendation. This should reflect the future state of the organisation that would arise from implementing your recommendation.
      • Reference list (not included in page count). Each report should contain at least 5 relevant scholarly references. Please refer to page 47 of the Communication Skills guide to make yourself familiar with the Harvard/APA Referencing Style format.
      • Once your group report is complete, only ONE group member will submit ONE group assignment file electronically using the link which will be made available on the MyUni course website.
      Note: Please do not upload multiple copies of the group report.

      Turnitin similarity software will be utilised to indicate potential plagiarism. If your similarity report is greater than 30% (not considering assignment coversheet with plagiarism policies, references, headings, subtitles, etc.), it is strongly advised that you refer to the following link: /writingcentre/resources/avoiding-plagiarismLinks to an external site. If, as a result of this process, your assignment is submitted after the due date, a late submission penalty will be applied (5% per day). Students must retain a copy of all assessments submitted. You can resubmit your assignment multiple times (with the same file name) until the due date: time, but note that it may take several hours for turnitin.com to generate your similarity report.


      Assessment 4.2
      Group Case Study Presentations (15%)
      As a part of a group, each student will need to prepare and deliver a presentation in the workshops. Case studies are an effective way to learn about complex issues. By using a real-life example, you will be able to identify multiple managerial issues to the material you learn in this course. Each case will be based on a particular weekly topic (outlined in the workshop schedule). Each week, a student team will present a (20 min) presentation on a case. This presentation will be assessed by your workshop facilitator and is worth 15% of your total grade. The grade for these presentations will be based on one’s team performance; therefore you and your teammates will share the grade. Please refer to MyUni to know the topics available for presentations.

      Given that the presentations will be approximately 20 mins each, you will need to create a PowerPoint presentation. There is an element of creativity and showmanship to presenting, so the decision on how to frame your presentation is ultimately yours.

      On delivering an excellent presentation, students need to specifically address the following issues...
      Adhere to a business dress code.
      Do not directly read from slides or cards
      Engage your audience
      Be creative and (appropriately) entertaining
      Acknowledge and answer questions
      For more useful information on how to give a “killer presentation”, see: https://hbr.org/2013/06/how-to-give-a-killer-presentation/ (Links to an external site.)

      It’s also important to note that there will be approximately 5 mins of questions and answers after your presentation. As a presenter, your entire group will be responsible for fielding these questions in a convincing and confident manner. As an audience member, you are responsible for posing “good” questions that respectfully critique/challenge the presenting team’s position. A good question can be defined as one that is clear, thought-provoking, and specifically related to aspects of the presentation at hand.

      To summarise, we’ve outlined the “presentation rules” for both presenters and the audience below:
      For presenters
      Engage the audience. Use creative ways to make your presentation interesting and interactive.
      Use visual aids, e.g. prepare slides or other interesting visual materials.
      Be professional. Dress well and use professional language.
      Act as a team. Each team member must present so that no one person dominates the presentation.
      Mind your time. Keep within your prescribed timeframe, e.g. not too long or short.
      Know your topic. Be prepared to answer questions or discuss with the audience.
      Do not simply read your slides or notes. Use a conversational approach and keep eye contact with the audience.

      For the audience
      Have respect. Listen and do not interrupt the presentation.
      Pay attention. Make notes as interesting ideas come to you. These will inform your questions.
      Ask questions and offer feedback. It is your responsibility to interact with presenters. Remember, your participation grade is based on the quality of the questions you pose to your fellow classmates.


      Group assignment grading mechanism: SPLAT mechanism to ensure equity for team members
      Mechanism to ensure that students who are working hard get extra grades for their efforts and students who are not working towards group assignments get lower grades.

      The purpose of getting you to complete the SPLAT is to give you an opportunity to confidentially submit your evaluation of your contribution, as well as the contributions of your group mates, to the group assignment
      PAF scores (measures of your assignment group contribution based on your feedback and that of your group members) will be released after the SPLAT deadline.

      If you "pulled your weight" in the group work for the assignment, your PAF will be 1.0.

      A PAF score of greater than 1.0 indicates that you are seen to have put in more than average, whilst scores of less than 0.8 indicate you will need to put more in future group work.

      Students who have PAF scores greater than 1 will be allocated an individual mark greater than the mark allocated for their group assignment. Conversely, students who have a PAF score less than 1 will be allocated an individual mark less than the mark allocated for their group assignment. The group assignment mark for students with a PAF score of 1.0 will remain unchanged.


      Assessment 5:
      Final Exam (30%)
      The final exam will be held under 'closed-book' conditions. The purpose of the final exam is to assess your understanding of the concepts covered in this course. Specifically, the ability to utilise theories covered in this course to critically evaluate how planning, organising, leading and controlling organisational resources can be used to achieve an organisation's goals in an efficient and effective manner.

      The exam will be 3 hours in length. Only topics 4 to 11 will be covered in this course and will be assessable in the final exam. As we have covered topics 1 to 3 in the mid-term test, these three topics will not be covered in the final exam.

      The examination will be held during the scheduled exam period. The timing of the exam will be known when the Semester 2 examination timetable is released by the University.

      As highlighted earlier, students are required to achieve a minimum of 45% of the marks in the final exam and an aggregate of 50% in order to eligible to pass this course.

      More information on the exam will be provided via the MyUni course website.

      Assessment Detail
      Assessment 1: Workshop Participation (10%)
      You are expected to attend all scheduled workshops and be prepared to discuss your ideas concerning the questions outlined in the workshop timetable. Students are encouraged to share examples from their personal, professional and/or academic experiences.

      In order to encourage class discussion and give students the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the prescribed readings and the workshop questions, 10 percent of assessment will be based on class participation. A total of 10 workshops will be assessed (1 mark per assessed workshop x 10 assessable workshops = 10%). For each of the assessed workshops, each student will be awarded 0, ½ or 1 mark. When determining participation marks, workshop facilitators will be taking the following into account the following criteria:

      Student…
      • Comes prepared: refers to notes, introduces ideas and questions from the week’s text
      • Contributes ideas: adds new ideas, suggests new connections, raises relevant issues
      • Asks questions of clarification: re concepts, terminology, expectations
      • Facilitates peer interaction: builds on others’ ideas, uses humour positively, stays on track
      • Expresses ideas clearly: ideas are understood by others, pace and volume appropriate.

      Permission for any absence is generally only given for medical or compassionate reasons. All such requests must be emailed to the workshop facilitator and should be accompanied by documentary evidence from a social service professional (e.g. doctor, counsellor or psychologist). Each request will be assessed on its merits.

      Assessment 2: Weekly Quizzes (20%)
      From Week 3 MyUni will host 10 weekly text-based multiple-choice online quizzes. Each quiz consists of 25 multiple choice questions and will assess material covered in the associated topic. These quizzes will provide you with the opportunity to test your understanding of core concepts and identify areas that require further study and assistance. You should discuss issues arising from the quiz questions with your workshop facilitator (tutor). Attempting online quizzes by the prescribed due dates is essential as the relevant quiz will close automatically after the due date.

      Assessment 3: Mid-term Test (10%)
      The purpose of the test is to provide you with the opportunity to ascertain how you are progressing in the course (hence only 10% assessment weighting). Students who fail the test are classified as ‘at risk’. Consequently, such students will be encouraged to make time with their workshop facilitator (tutor) to assess their approach to studying this course and strategies to put in place to ensure your the student's future success.

      The Mind-term Test will be scheduled in week 6. Please refer to the MyUni Course Website to know the exact date and time for the text. The test will assess material covered in topics 1 to 3 inclusive.

      Markers aim to mark and return assignments to students within two (2) weeks of the due date with written feedback. Students will be able to access their marked assignments from their MyUni web site.

      GRADE REVIEW/RECONSIDERATION

      Students (or groups) who believe their work should receive a different grade should apply in writing within 48 hours of the publication of the grades. They must write/email directly to their workshop facilitator, and copy to the lecturer/course co-ordinator, an analytical piece, in which they give strong reasons on why they believe they have achieved the requirements. Students who choose to apply for a review or reconsideration must be logical and concise in their appeal, and provide as much detail as possible. Claims like “I believe I have done to the requirements and deserve a better grade” will not be accepted. It is at your workshop facilitator's discretion whether the work should be reviewed or reconsidered. If the application is accepted, the marker will conduct a review/reconsideration independent from the original grade, and the outcome can be a higher grade, no change, or a lower grade, and this new grade will be final.

      Final results for this course will be made available through .

    • 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.
