Weightings and descriptions of the various pieces of assessment are as follows:Case Analysis (2 cases analysis, 10% each) 20%Students are required to read the assign case before the tutorials. They are then required to provide a written answer for the assigned questions for the case in term 1 and term 2. It may be necessary to do some additional reading and research to adequately answer each case question. The cases are due by 5pm on Monday 22 March and 24 May (please see the teaching schedule). The case analyses need to be uploaded to Learn. The first tutorial will provide you with the necessary skills to understand how to analyse cases and answer case questions. Participation (9 tutorials but only 5 will be counted, 2% each) 10%Students will be required to attend 5 tutorials. You will need to self-assign yourself into a tutorial group on Learn and you are allowed only to attend that tutorial. Your tutor will be responsible for grading your written answers to the case, hence the importance of attending the tutorial that you have signed up for. During each tutorial, roll will be taken and those in attendance will be given marks for attendance. Only five tutorials will count towards the 10%; however, students are encouraged to attend all tutorials to assist you with answering the case questions and preparing for the final exam. Students are also strongly encouraged to participate in the tutorials and to ask questions about concepts and theories covered in class that you feel you don’t understand.Term Test 30% The term test will be two hours long (closed book) and cover the concepts discussed in class. The material for Term Test 1 will include specific chapters as described in class and posted on Learn. The Term Test will be composed of multiple choice and short answer questions.Final Exam 40%The final exam will be three hours long (closed book), and will require students to demonstrate their knowledge of the concepts discussed in class. The final exam covers material found in all assigned chapters during the semester. GradingThe marks for the term test and final exam will be scaled, if necessary, according to the requirements of the board of examiners, before a final grade is determined. You should not regard 50% as the overall pass mark for the course.
