herefore serve multiple functions and are the main way in which you develop your knowledge during the semester. All these tutorial questions are provided in this course outline (pp. 10-11). Prior to attending each of your respective tutorials, you should prepare discussion for the tutorial questions for that week. Answer Format Your boss’s time is precious and so the memo should be written concisely but persuasively. You would normally open your memo with “I recommend that we…”, and use the rest of the memo to buttress and support your views. Professional business memos follow a specific format, and a sample is provided at the back of Part A of this course outline. While memos do not usually contain references and in-text citations, it is important that you get into the habit of referencing for your future courses. As such, you should reference any and every information that you get from an external source. This is a practice of academic honesty, and citing your sources would add to the persuasiveness of your analyses and recommendations. As such, you should follow the Business School Harvard Referencing System. The link to the Harvard Referencing Guide is also provided in Section 9 in PART B of this course outline as well as on the course website. All in all, the written memo should be no more than 500 words (double-spaced and using Times New Roman 12-point font). If necessary, you may use charts and graphs to support your case, and the charts/graphs along with the reference list will not be counted toward the word limit. In parts of your memo, you may use point form (with sufficient explanations) for your answers, but remember that this is a piece of business writing so it should be in a formal style (although you are welcome to use the personal pronoun, e.g. ‘I believe’). This is a good practice to write concisely and give to-the-point business insight. A hard copy of the memo must be submitted to your tutor at the beginning of the tutorial for which you are writing the memo AND a soft copy through the Turnitin link on the dedicated course Moodle site prior to the tutorial. The hard copy will be marked. Finally, please attach the assignment coversheet included in this course outline. Make sure to include your name, student ID, and the word count on the cover page. Marking Criteria Answers will be assessed based on the following criteria: ¨ completeness of answer: soundness of recommendation backed by logical and reliable data and supporting arguments ¨ appropriate understanding and application of relevant international business concepts and theories; ¨ evidence of critical thinking: ability to clearly state and justify your position; and ¨ clarity and succinctness of written expression, in accordance with professional business writing style and referencing criteria. 7 In summary, the 30 marks assigned for this assessment task will be based on the completeness and quality of your submissions. 2. Group Presentation (20%) Groups of three to four students will be formed in Week 1 tutorials. The exact size of groups will be determined by your tutor depending on the number of students in the tutorial. Tutors will then assign each group to present on one of the weekly presentation questions from Week 3 to Week 12. This assessment comprises two main components: presentation and discussion facilitation. The full presentation should be 30 minutes, including discussion facilitation. The groups should present their findings and opinions on the presentation question AND lead and facilitate a well-designed class discussion on controversial issues of their presentation question. Discussion facilitation is an important and useful skill. Formulating relevant discussion questions and engaging other students are essential to successful discussion facilitation. Groups will be rated on their presentation style, ability to lead the class discussion and answer questions from other class members, and effectiveness of their own solution to the question(s). More details on the group presentation and a detailed marking sheet are provided at the end of Part A of this course outline and on the course website under ‘Assessment Guides’. Your tutor will also briefly address the presentation guidelines in the Week 2 tutorial. The lecturer-in-charge may adjust the marks of individual group members if there is substantial evidence that they did not contribute to the presentation. 3. Class Attendance and Participation (10%) Students will be assessed by their respective tutors on their participation and quality of contribution towards class discussion in the weekly tutorials. Class Attendance and Participation will be awarded based on the following two elements: a) Attendance of both lectures and tutorials b) Discussion of tutorial presentation/memo questions There will be random attendance checks in lectures throughout the semester. 4. Examination 1 (20%) The examination will be a one-hour examination and will take place in Week 7 during the lecture time, covering materials from Week 1 to Week 6, inclusive. Details about the examination will be communicated in due course. Make sure to take the exam in the lecture in which you are enrolled. Your failure to do this will result in a severe penalty. No make-up exam will be allowed. 5. Examination 2 (20%) The one-hour examination will be held in Week 13 and will be based on lecture topics from Week 1 to 12, inclusive. Materials from the lectures, textbook, and tutorial activities will be covered. Details about the examination will be communicated in due course. Make sure to take the exam in the lecture in which you are enrolled. Your failure to do this will result in a severe penalty. No make-up exam will be allowed. 8 4.3 Late Submission Extensions will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds under extreme circumstances, and will not be granted because of work and other commitments. Requests for extensions must be made in writing to the Lecturer-in-Charge prior to the due date. Medical certificates or other evidence of extreme misfortune must be attached and must contain information that justifies the extension sought. Late assignments which have not been granted an extension will incur a penalty of 10 per cent of the assigned mark per day. Quality Assurance The Business School is actively monitoring student learning and quality of the student experience in all its programs. A random selection of completed assessment tasks may be used for quality assurance, such as to determine the extent to which program learning goals are being achieved. The information is required for accreditation purposes, and aggregated findings will be used to inform changes aimed at improving the quality of Business School programs. All material used for such processes will be treated as confidential. 5 COURSE RESOURCES Course website (Moodle): The Moodle course module contains essential resources for students.

For example, we want all our graduates to HAVE a high level of business knowledge, and a sound awareness of ethical, social, cultural and environmental implications of business. As well, we want all our graduates to BE effective problem-solvers, communicators and team participants. These are our overall learning goals for you and are sought by employers. You can demonstrate your achievement of these goals by the specific outcomes you achieve by the end of your degree (e.g. be able to analyse and research business problems and propose well-justified solutions). Each course contributes to your development of two or more program learning goals/outcomes by providing opportunities for you to practise these skills and to be assessed and receive feedback. Program Learning Goals for undergraduate and postgraduate students cover the same key areas (application of business knowledge, critical thinking, communication and teamwork, ethical, social and environmental responsibility), which are key goals for all Business students and essential for success in a globalised world. However, the specific outcomes reflect different expectations for these levels of study. We strongly advise you to choose a range of courses which assist your development of these skills, e.g., courses assessing written and oral communication skills, and to keep a record of your achievements against the Program Learning Goals as part of your portfolio.

For UNSW policies, penalties, and information to help you avoid plagiarism see: https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism as well as the guidelines in the online ELISE tutorials for all new UNSW students: http://subjectguides.library.unsw.edu.au/elise To see if you understand plagiarism, do this short quiz: https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism-quiz For information on how to acknowledge your sources and reference correctly, see: https://student.unsw.edu.au/harvard-referencing For the Business School Harvard Referencing Guide, see the Business Referencing and Plagiarism webpage (Business >Students>Learning support> Resources>Referencing and plagiarism). For information for staff on how UNSW defines plagiarism, the types of penalties that apply and the protocol around handling plagiarism cases, see: https://www.gs.unsw.edu.au/policy/documents/plagiarismpolicy.pdf https://www.gs.unsw.edu.au/policy/documents/plagiarismprocedure.pdf https://www.gs.unsw.edu.au/policy/documents/studentmisconductprocedures.pdf 18 10 STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONDUCT Students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to university policies in relation to class attendance and general conduct and behaviour, including maintaining a safe, respectful environment; and to understand their obligations in relation to workload, assessment and keeping informed. Information and policies on these topics can be found in UNSW Current Students ‘Managing your Program’ webpages: https://student.unsw.edu.au/program 代写MGMT 1101 GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT It is expected that you will spend at least nine to ten hours per week studying this course. This time should be made up of reading, research, working on exercises and problems, online activities and attending classes. In periods where you need to complete assignments or prepare for examinations, the workload may be greater. Over-commitment has been a cause of failure for many students. You should take the required workload into account when planning how to balance study with employment and other activities. We strongly encourage you to connect with your Moodle course websites in the first week of semester. Local and international research indicates that students who engage early and often with their course website are more likely to pass their course. Information on expected workload: https://student.unsw.edu.au/uoc 10.2 Attendance Your regular and punctual attendance at lectures and seminars and in online activities is expected in this course. University regulations indicate that if students attend less than 80% of scheduled classes they may be refused final assessment. For more information, see: https://student.unsw.edu.au/attendance 10.3 General Conduct and Behaviour You are expected to conduct yourself with consideration and respect for the needs of your fellow students and teaching staff. Conduct which unduly disrupts or interferes with a class, such as ringing or talking on mobile phones, is not acceptable and students may be asked to leave the class. More information on student conduct is available at: https://student.unsw.edu.au/conduct 10.4 Health and Safety UNSW Policy requires each person to work safely and responsibly, in order to avoid personal injury and to protect the safety of others. For more information, see http://safety.unsw.edu.au/. 19 10.5 Keeping Informed You should take note of all announcements made in lectures, tutorials or on the course web site. From time to time, the University will send important announcements to your university e-mail address without providing you with a paper copy. You will be deemed to have received this information. It is also your responsibility to keep the University informed of all changes to your contact details. 11 SPECIAL CONSIDERATION For UG and PG courses: You must submit all assignments and attend all examinations scheduled for your course. You should seek assistance early if you suffer illness or misadventure which affects your course progress. General Information on special consideration for undergraduate and postgraduate courses: 1. All applications for special consideration must be lodged online through myUNSW within 3 working days of the assessment (Log into myUNSW and go to My Student Profile tab > My Student Services > Online Services > Special Consideration). You will then need to submit the originals or certified copies of your completed Professional Authority form (pdf - download here) and other supporting documentation to Student Central. For more information, please study carefully in advance the instructions and conditions at: https://student.unsw.edu.au/specialconsideration 2. Please note that documentation may be checked for authenticity and the submission of false documentation will be treated as academic misconduct. The School may ask to see the original or certified copy. 3. Applications will not be accepted by teaching staff. The lecturer-in-charge will be automatically notified when you lodge an online application for special consideration. 4. Decisions and recommendations are only made by lecturers-in-charge (or by the Faculty Panel in the case of UG final exam special considerations), not by tutors. 5. Applying for special consideration does not automatically mean that you will be granted a supplementary exam or other concession. 6. Special consideration requests do not allow lecturers-in-charge to award students additional marks. Business School Policy on requests for special Consideration for Final Exams in undergraduate courses: The lecturer-in-charge will need to be satisfied on each of the following before supporting a request for special consideration: 1. Does the medical certificate contain all relevant information? For a medical certificate to be accepted, the degree of illness, and impact on the student, must be stated by the medical practitioner (severe, moderate, mild). A certificate without this will not be valid. 20 2. Has the student performed satisfactorily in the other assessment items? Satisfactory performance would require at least [Fill in specific requirements for your School or course] and meeting the obligation to have attended 80% of tutorials. 3. Does the student have a history of previous applications for special consideration? A history of previous applications may preclude a student from being granted special consideration. Special Consideration and the Final Exam in undergraduate courses: Applications for special consideration in relation to the final exam are considered by a Business School Faculty panel to which lecturers-in-charge provide their recommendations for each request. If the Faculty panel grants a special consideration request, this will entitle the student to sit a supplementary examination. No other form of consideration will be granted. The following procedures will apply: 1. Supplementary exams will be scheduled centrally and will be held approximately two weeks after the formal examination period. The dates for Business School supplementary exams for Semester 2, 2016 are: 6th December – exams for the School of Accounting 7th December – exams for all Schools except Accounting and Economics 8th December – exams for the School of Economics If a student lodges a special consideration for the final exam, they are stating they will be available on the above dates. Supplementary exams will not be held at any other time.代写MGMT 1101 GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT 2. Where a student is granted a supplementary examination as a result of a request for special consideration, the student’s original exam (if completed) will be ignored and only the mark achieved in the supplementary examination will count towards the final grade. Failure to attend the supplementary exam will not entitle the student to have the original exam paper marked and may result in a zero mark for the final exam. If you attend the regular final exam, you are extremely unlikely to be granted a supplementary exam. Hence if you are too ill to perform up to your normal standard in the regular final exam, you are strongly advised not to attend. However, granting of a supplementary exam in such cases is not automatic. You would still need to satisfy the criteria stated above. The Business School’s Special Consideration and Supplementary Examination Policy and Procedures for Final Exams for Undergraduate Courses is available at: https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/students/resources/student-centre/studentresources/ policies-and-guidelines/supplementary-exam-policy-for-undergraduates 12 STUDENT RESOURCES AND SUPPORT The University and the Business School provide a wide range of support services for students, including: 21 • Business School Education Development Unit (EDU) https://www.business.unsw.edu.au/students/resources/learning-support 代写MGMT 1101 GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
