    Assessment Related Requirements
    Candidates will be assessed by engaged participation (including contribution to class discussions), and submission of two assignments.  All assignments must be completed to be eligible to pass the course. Coverage of the lecture materials and
    participation in the presentation sessions are compulsory.

    It is expected that assignments will be typed in English, using word processing software such as Microsoft Word. The preference is for you to submit an electronic word file.

    Don’t cram too many words onto a page: use a line spacing of 1.5 lines.

    Students must complete all course assessment requirements and must regularly consult with the lecturer to be eligible to pass the course. 

    Course results are subject to moderation by the ECIC Board of Examiners

    Assessment Detail
    Assessment 1: Contribution to Discussion
    Weighting: 10%
    Due Dates: Weeks 1-10

    Task:
    You are expected to complete all assigned readings, actively contribute to their discussion and debate; as well as initiate and comment upon issues throughout the course.

    Scope:
    It is requisite that each individual participant fully contributes to the group learning environment.

    Length and Presentation:
    Successful online learning requires active discussion area participation.
    Substantive participation is measured by recording the posting date on which a student makes a substantive posting in the classroom.  Examples of substantive participation do not include the posting of assignments or a question you might have for the
    teaching staff or the group.  Substantive participation does include responses to discussion questions as well as discourse between students related to the subject matter.  Substantive responses must be based upon the course content, theory, or personal experiences, not mere opinion.  A simple "I agree" will not count.

    Substantive responses also should include appropriate documentation/citation where appropriate.  The point value of participation in the learning experience is defined within each assignment as presented in the assignment pages associated with each course;
    and/or as directed by the teaching staff.

    Students must contribute to the class discussion in a substantive way each week.  As a general rule of thumb, students need to post at least 2-3 substantive responses each week beyond the posting of assignments.  However, students should not be
    limited in the number of discussion postings that they contribute each week.   Quantity is considered important, but the quality of the responses is even more important.

    Students are expected to read all discussion area postings.  The quality of the student responses will be graded.  Students will earn weekly participation grades based upon the quality of their responses to weekly assignments, including discussion questions.

    Posting assignments or emails to students and/or teaching staff outside of classroom threads does not count as discussion participation.

    Participation in the discussion area must be completed before 11:59:59 pm ACST/ACDT.  For participation to count for grades or assignments, it must be submitted within this time period and by the specified due day.

    Criteria by which your assignment will be assessed:
    You will receive a combined participation grade for all of the discussions on a cumulative basis worth 100 points and a total of 10% toward your final grade.  These will be graded in two sections as Weeks 1-5 and Weeks 6-10.  Grades for discussion responses will be posted in at the end of the course.

    Keep in mind, your responses must be posted to the forum by the specified due dates.  Late postings will not be accepted.



    Assessment 2: Literature Analysis
    Weighting: 30%
    Due Dates: Day 7, Week 5

    Task: Prepare an analysis and critique of a current debate in entrepreneurship research. You are assigned a series of journal article reading which discuss the reasons for and merits of using business plans during the start-up process:

    Please review these articles and discuss the reasons for (and the veracity of) the divergent claims made by these authors regarding the use of business plans. Based on your review and analysis of these articles, you are required to take a position, either for or against the use of business plans in new ventures. Please motivate your response based on the literature and provide support using other scholarly resources. Discuss any limitations of, or conditions for your findings.

    Scope:
    This assessment item is designed to cover the review, analysis and critique of a series of journal articles regarding a single topic in entrepreneurship.

    Length and Presentation:
    The body of the literature analysis report should at minimum be 1,500 words; however something in the order of 5 pages is expected. Appendices may be used for supporting documents or summary tables of analysis to the extent that is appropriate. The report should be submitted as an electronic version in WORD. No report will be accepted in Adobe Portable Document Files (pdf) (they cannot be electronically marked). All reference material must be correctly cited and referenced in APA style.

    Criteria by which your assignment will be marked:
    · Analysis & critique (50%): Competent analysis and appropriate critique of the research articles provided.
    · Theory & support (30%): Demonstrated use of relevant resources and theory including synthesis of associated literature to
    support arguments.

    Assessment 3: Research Project Literature Review
    Weighting: 60%
    Due Dates: Day 7, Week 10

    Task:
    Prepare a research topic literature review in two parts. The first part develops the rationale for your future research project and research question framing its relevance and importance to particular stakeholders. The second part details the basis of academic literature that grounds your research question in theory. All reference material must be correctly cited and referenced in APA tyle.

    The Research Project Literature Review will include the project’s aims and rationale and provide a literature review.

    Scope:
    This assessment item is designed to be a major contribution to your Master’s Research Project and as such should be scoped to provide an appropriate platform to anchor discussions with your supervisors. It is also likely that as the Research develops there will be later modifications to the work presented at this time.

    All text based assignments must be submitted via Drop Box in LEARN
    There are a few points to note about the submission of assignments:

    • Assignment Submission: Assignments should be lodged via Drop Box in the LEARN system. Please refer to individual assignment tasks for specific submission details relevant to each task. Note that assignments may be processed via TURNITIN, which is an online plagiarism prevention tool.
    • Cover Sheet: As part of your assignment, please add the completed University of Adelaide Assessment Cover Sheet to your assignment, providing details of yourself and your team members (if applicable), your assignment, the course, date submitted, etc. as well as the declaration signed by you that this is your (your team’s) work. Note that the declaration on any electronically submitted assignment will be deemed to have the same authority as a signed declaration. Where applicable, also include the word count excluding title pages and references.
    • Backup Copy of Assignments: You are advised to keep a copy of your assignments in case the submitted copy goes missing. Please ensure that all assignment pages are numbered. If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
    • Extensions of Time: Any request for an extension of time for the submission of an assignment should be made well before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer. Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date. Extensions will only be granted in cases of genuine extenuating circumstances and proof, such as a doctor’s certificate, may be required.
    • Failure to submit an assignment on time or by the agreed extension deadline may result in penalties and may incur a fail grade. Note that a late penalty of 5% of the total available marks for that assessment item will be incurred each day an assignment is handed in late (Unless otherwise stated in 'Assessment Related Requirements' or 'Assessment Detail' above). Assignments handed in after 14 days from the due submission date will fail even if a 100% mark is granted for the work.

    Resubmission & Remarking

    Resubmission of an assignment for remarking after reworking it to obtain a better mark will not normally be accepted.  Approval for resubmission will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds.

  • 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.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • 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.
