Students are expected to access materials provided online (lecture slides, textbooks, and other readings, videos and/or case studies) prior to class and to complete any set activities recommended by the lecturer.

Students are expected to review the weekly readings as well as online materials and to be able to discuss the material with other students during the course of the tutorials. Tutorials will include time where students will work together in student-led discussions of the exercise and/or case with the provision of tutor and peer feedback. The class will receive weekly feedback from both peers and instructors.

Assessment Detail

The assessment for this subject is made up of the following components:

Two in-class quizzes (both 10%), one in Week 6 (mid-term) and one in Week 12 (end-of-term). These quizzes will test students' knowledge and understanding of the topics covered in the lectures and the tutorials. A cheat sheet for formulas and SPSS commands/output interpretation can be used;
A group project (30%) which will require students to identify a marketing issue, collect data, interpret it, and provide recommendations based on their analysis to a company. This is a formative assignment and is made up of three parts:
- Part A: Proposal Presentation (5%) due either in Week 3 or 4. Students will be required to put together and present a research proposal during the tutorial, which should outline: (1) their main research problem/question, (2) their proposed methodology and (3) their result expectations (hypotheses);
- Part B: Video Presentation (10%) due in Week 10. Students will be required to submit an online video (e.g. Youtube) where they summarise their main research problem(s), their research approach, methodology, and their preliminary findings;
- Part C: Project Report (15%) due in Week 12. Students will be required to submit a report that outlines the main research problem(s), research questions, methodology and the results of their research. The appendices should include the instruments utilised to collect data and the SPSS outcome/analysis;
A take-home assessment (40%) due during the official final exam period (to be discussed with students). Students will be provided with a file, and they will have to conduct analyses on it using the methods learnt in class. They should finally draw conclusions and provide recommendations based on them. The turnaround for this assignment is one week;
In-class participation (10%) assessed throughout the term. Participation will be evaluated on students' engagement in in-class discussions, participation in demonstrations (e.g., showing how to do an exercise, etc.), willingness and proactiveness to help others, and general attitude. Participation will be assessed both in lectures and tutorials. Marks will be given and released at the end of the term.

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’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
