Mandatory Course Requirements

There are no mandatory course requirements for this course.

No Mandatory Requirements Specified.

Assessment

Assessment for this course will be internally assessed.

 

Use of Turnitin

Student work provided for assessment in this course will be checked for academic integrity by the electronic search engine http://www.turnitin.com.  Turnitin is an on-line plagiarism prevention tool which compares submitted work with a very large database of existing material. At the discretion of the Head of School, handwritten work may be copy-typed by the School and submitted to Turnitin.  A copy of submitted materials will be retained on behalf of the University for detection of future plagiarism, but access to the full text of submissions will not be made available to any other party.

 

Academic integrity and avoidance of plagiarism

Academic integrity means that university staff and students, in their teaching and learning, are expected to treat others honestly, fairly and with respect at all times.  While we encourage working and studying together in groups, all assessment items marked as individual assignments are strictly individual.  For individual assignments, collaboration should be limited to general discussion as to how one might interpret the nature of the assigned question and testing out ideas with each other. You should not work together to formulate a common response.  Do not loan out your completed individual assignments, and do not borrow someone else’s assignment.  All sources drawn from should be cited using appropriate referencing.

 

 

Assignments showing evidence of contravening the policy will be investigated for plagiarism.  You should familiarise yourself with the university’s plagiarism policy – see https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/students/support/student-interest-and-conflict-resolution/academic-integrity/plagiarism.

 

Misusing others’ academic work is not acceptable and is plagiarism.  This includes presenting someone else’s work as if it were your own, whether you mean to or not.  Even if it is presented in your own style, you must still acknowledge your sources fully and appropriately.  This includes:

● material from books, journals or any other printed source

● the work of other students, or staff

● information from the internet

● the organisation or structuring of any such material.

 

Your assessed work may be used for quality assurance purposes, such as to assess the level of achievement of learning objectives required for accreditation and academic audit. The findings may be used to inform changes aimed at improving the quality of the Wellington School of Business and Government programmes. All material used for such processes will be treated as confidential, and the outcome will not affect your grade for the course.

Penalties

In fairness to other students, a penalty of 5% of the marks available (marks available means what the assessment is worth i.e. 20% or 20 marks) will be applied for each day or part day late.  Assessment received more than 7 days after the due date will not be accepted unless an extension has been granted in advance.

Extensions

Published course information provides a signal to students of forthcoming workload, dates of submission etc.  Student study plans should take account of course requirements across all courses.  Consequently, workload issues related to other course requirements or employment will not be accepted as reason for dispensation from mandatory requirements or waiver of penalties.

Students may apply for one no-evidence, 24-hour extension for any piece of submittable assessment.  This penalty-free extension will only be available to students who apply for the extension BEFORE the due date and time.

Any and all requests for an extension of submittable assessment, including no-evidence 24-hour extensions, must be made on the School of Management Extension Request Form, available through Blackboard.  Documentation is required for any extension request beyond 24-hours. Please note however, there is an exception for health-related extension requests which can be requested without documentation if the request is for no more than 1 week from the due date. Any health-related extension requests beyond 1 week will require documentation.

Only in exceptional circumstances will a waiver of penalties for late submission be applied retrospectively.

Submission & Return

Assessment for this course will be accepted by Blackboard submission only, and must be in the following file formats – Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf), Microsoft Office files (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx etc), OpenOffice files (.odt).

The Blackboard assessment link will remain open for one week after the due date with late penalties applying after the due time and date, based on the submission date recorded in Blackboard.

 

Grade/Mark Reconsiderations

Every attempt is made to ensure that the marking is consistent across tutors and fair to students.

Students may ask for their written work to be reconsidered. Application must be made within 14 days after the assessments or grades/marks are made available.

To apply for a reconsideration, complete the request for reconsideration of assessed work online form (available from blackboard course resources) stating which sections (criteria listed in the online rubric or hard copy mark sheet) you wish reconsidered.  You must provide academic reasons and evidence from your assessment on why you think the grade/mark does not, in your view, fairly reflect the quality of your work.  Your assessment will only be reconsidered on the points you raise.

For online marked assessment, email your request including the reconsideration requirements noted above to the School of Management office by emailing it to [email protected].  Complete remarks will not be undertaken.

Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks for reconsiderations to be completed.

Marking Criteria

Word limits should be adhered to, especially as they provide a guide to limiting the student’s coverage of a topic and the intended assessment work load.  You are strongly advised to adhere to the word limit so as to keep your workload at a manageable level. Any material that is above the word limit will not be taken into account by the marker. Your marker will simply stop at the maximum words for the assessment and you will receive the appropriate grade/mark.

Group Work

Resources are available at https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/learning-teaching/support/course-design/group-work to support you in working in groups, to overcome the issues that may arise. We encourage you to make use of them, to improve your performance when working as a group – teamwork is a skill valued highly in the workplace, and employers value your ability to work through issues together. If you have issues that you cannot resolve, talk to your course coordinator or administrator.

Workload

A total of 150 hours of work is expected from students consisting of 24 hours of lectures with the remainder spent on preparation and required course work.

Communication of Additional Information

Information on course-related matters will be announced in class and posted on the Blackboard website at http://blackboard.vuw.ac.nz. It will be crucial for you to regularly check Blackboard for messages, announcements and materials.
