1.7 Prescribed Text

Hanrahan, P., Ramsay, I. & Stapledon, G. (2011). Commercial applications of company law.  (12th ed.).  Sydney, NSW:  CCH                  (11th edition may be used)

 

1.8 Plagiarism 

Of necessity, most academic work is heavily dependent on the findings or ideas of others (i.e. authors, scholars). Indeed, one of the main aims of academic assessment tasks is to encourage you to research widely and develop research skills. In presenting your work for assessment you must show the assessor that you have read widely, and the only way you can do this is to properly cite your sources in the body of your essay, assignment or report. 

 

As a matter of intellectual honesty and scholarly integrity you must say where ideas, information, arguments, diagrams or other theoretical models come from, regardless of whether you are quoting directly, paraphrasing, or simply mentioning or using data from that source. To do otherwise amounts to plagiarism, and is a serious academic offence. 

 

Plagiarism goes further than the failure to acknowledge quotations, paraphrases or information from published sources - it also includes copying or using other students work and downloading material from the internet and passing it off as your own.  

 

Any cases of plagiarism, cheating or copying, will be dealt with by the Course Co-ordinator in accordance with the University’s regulations, and may result in a zero mark for the piece of assessment, failure of the whole course or exclusion from the program.  

 

Make sure you are aware of the University's Regulation 6.1.1 Student Plagiarism, available at http://www.ballarat.edu.au/legislation/6.1.1-plagiarism

 

Turnitin - Turnitin is an electronic plagiarism database against which originality of student work can be tested. It is a web-based program that helps both student and teacher to detect and remedy any inadvertent and unacknowledged use of another’s work before the assignment is submitted for final assessment. Turnitin has the capability to produce a report verifying the percentage of your work which is original. This report will then accompany any work you submit for assessment.

 

You will be informed by your lecturer if you are required to submit your assignments through Turnitin.

 

1.9 Copyright

Copyright is different to Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use of another person's work, and passing it off as your own, without acknowledgement of the author. Copyright is the restriction which defines fair use of another's work.

 

As a student, you will make use of other people's copyright material during your study. The Copyright Act has provisions for students and researchers to copy and communicate electronic, audiovisual and hardcopy material, although limits do apply. It is your responsibility to comply with the Fair Dealing Provisions of the Copyright Act which, combined with an agreement with the Copyright Agency Ltd, provides students with legal use of a vast amount of copyright material related to their research and study. However, there are limitations, such as only copying one chapter or 10% of a book or one journal article. Further information on these limitations and other relevant material is available on the University web site at http://www.ballarat.edu.au/aasp/copyright/.

 

1.10 UBOnline/Moodle

The University’s Learning Management Systems (LMS) for delivery of learning resources, course information and guidelines to support face-to-face learning is Moodle/UBOnline. There are a number of interactive features in the LMS which will improve communication with teaching staff. For example, “Announcements” may arrive as a pop-up message, and tasks requiring your action will be indicated by highlighted icons. 

 

.

 

UBOnline/Moodle will NOT be used for this course.

 

 

Where courses use UBOnline/Moodle, it will be your responsibility to download the relevant lecture and tutorial notes to support your class participation. You should develop the habit of accessing the UBOnline/Moodle frequently (at least twice a week).

 

For students, login to the UBOnline/Moodle is available through https://ubonline.ballarat.edu.au/login/index.php.

 

1.11 Special Consideration 

If you believe that you are eligible for special consideration, due to illness or other cause, you need to complete the Application for Special Consideration form available from http://www.ballarat.edu.au/resources-special-consideration-form, your School or Partner Provider office. For further information please refer to the Information For Students Applying For Special Consideration (Including Deferral of an Examination) Guidelines available from 

http://policy.ballarat.edu.au/university/special_consideration/chol/php 

 

Extension of Assessment Due Date - In the first instance, discuss requests for an extension with your lecturer, or you may formally request an extension by completing the Special Consideration form.  

 

Supplementary Assessment may only be granted as an outcome of an application for Special Consideration.  

 

1.12 Late Submission of Assessment Tasks

Late submission of work may incur a penalty for each week day of up to 10% of the available marks. Unless with prior arrangement with the lecturer, papers submitted two weeks (ie 14 calendar days) after the due date will not be marked.

 

1.13 Presentation of Academic Work

Unless otherwise specified by your lecturer, all work presented for assessment in this course must comply with the format outlined in the University's General Guide to the Presentation of Academic Work publication, available from the University bookshop at Mt Helen campus or online at: http://www.ballarat.edu.au/generalguide.

 

1.14 Assignment Cover Sheets

Unless your lecturer has specifically advised otherwise, all assignments must be accompanied by a signed official cover sheet ('Plagiarism Declaration Form'), available from the School of Business foyer at Mt Helen and at http://www.ballarat.edu.au/business/resources/student-forms/assign-coversheet.doc and lodged as appropriate for your location.

 

1.15 Submission and Return of Student Work

 

The assignment box is located on level 4. 

 

 

1.16 Ethics

If you intend to survey or obtain information from other students, staff or persons outside the University as part of research for tutorial exercises or assessable tasks, you must check with your Course Co-ordinator, lecturer or tutor before undertaking your research to determine if approval is required.  

 

Where the research project could affect the interests of interviewees, ethics approval must be obtained from the University’s Human Research Ethics Committee. Your lecturer or tutor will assist you in arranging this. Some tutorial exercises and assessable tasks have been granted a block approval, provided certain procedures are undertaken. Where relevant, you will be advised of these procedures by your Course Co-ordinator, lecturer or tutor. Further details are located at www.ballarat.edu.au/ard/ubresearch/hdrs/ethics/humanethics/index.shtml  

 

1.17 Appeals

You may appeal about administrative issues, final grades or other academic decisions. With regard to grades or academic decisions, discuss your concerns with your lecturer in the first instance and then your Academic Co-ordinator to access the required form to lodge your appeal. For full details about the appeals process please refer to University Regulation 5.3 – Assessment http://www.ballarat.edu.au/legislation-5.3-Assessment. 

 

1.18 Academic Progress Committee

The Academic Progress Committee is a sub-committee of the Programs Committee, and is responsible for applying the University's Monitoring Course Progression Procedure (http://policy.ballarat.edu.au/esos/standard_10/ch02.php) and complying with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship International Student Reporting Requirements. Students who do not perform to a satisfactory level within their program or course may be asked for an explanation by the Committee, which has the power to warn and exclude students who demonstrate unsatisfactory progress.#p#分页标题#e#

 

1.19 Early Intervention for students judged as being at risk of not meeting Academic Progress requirements

In compliance with the University’s Intervention Strategy - Monitoring Course Progression Guidelines (http://policy.ballarat.edu.au/esos/standard_10/ch02.php), the School must identify students who fail an assessment task during a semester. Students who may be at risk of eventually failing that course will be offered assistance as early in the semester as possible, to ensure such “at risk“ students are given every opportunity to pass.

 

Students who are identified as being “at risk” of not meeting academic progress requirements will be formally asked to attend an interview to assess the reasons for their unsatisfactory performance wherein if appropriate they will be offered a program of assistance (such as study skills sessions, mentoring, English language classes, personal counselling, etc). A record will be kept of any such assistance program offered and the student’s uptake of the program.

1.21 Use of Dictionaries

The University’s Students from a Non-English Speaking Background - Special Provisions for Invigilated Assessments Guidelines (http://www.ballarat.edu.au/policy/special-provisions-non-english-speaking) make provisions for students who are from a non-English speaking background to use an approved unmarked hard copy bilingual dictionary in an examination.  Prior permission has been granted by the Head of School for students at partner providers for this provision, requests at Mt Helen campus are dealt with on an individual basis.

Students who encounter difficulties or who are otherwise concerned regarding their progress should consult their lecturer.

 

Assessment criteria set out the details by which your performance in each task will be judged. This information will give you a clear and explicit understanding of the standards you are expected to achieve relative to the marks awarded. 

 

TEST

 

The Class Test will be held during Week 5. Your Lecturer will advise you of the test date.  

 

Purpose:  To test your knowledge of material early in the semester and to give feedback about your learning at that point.

 

How it will be assessed:  There will a test held in class time or at another time to be notified.  The duration will be 50 minutes.  Only unannotated legislation is allowed into the test room.  That is, NO notes or textbooks may be taken into the test room.  The aim of the test is just that: to test what you have learned.

 

Criteria:  You will be assessed on your ability to:

Clearly demonstrate that you have understood key concepts, principles, legislation and case law as required by the topic/s being examined

Comprehend and analyse according to the requirements of the question/s

 

 

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

 

The due date for the assignment is Friday of week 8 of the semester.  

 

Topic: You will be given the topic during week 2 of the semester.

 

Word Limit:  2,500 (assignments exceeding the word limit may not be marked and may be returned to the student for re-writing). Do not include synopsis, references or bibliography in the word count.

 

Purpose:  It is important for you to have time to think through how to structure and present arguments, and to review and discuss what the law is or should be in a particular area.  It is also an opportunity for you to put the skills you have learned into practice.  Whilst discussion with others is encouraged, the final piece of work must be your own. 

 

Note: You should keep a copy of anything you submit and should keep copies of any articles or materials you have used in your essay. 

 

Any work not collected from the lecturer during the semester will be disposed of at the end of week 3 in the following semester.  

 

 

 

A note on research

In this course it is expected that you will research the law from textbooks, journal articles, government/regulatory web sites etc. Refer to the sources and internet databases in section 6 of this Course Description to start your research. Wandering aimlessly around the internet should be avoided, as should reliance on sites such as Wikipedia. 

 

You are not expected to spend time finding original cases and reading them. Generally sufficient information on the main cases can be found in texts and articles. In addition Commentary and Cases (with headnotes (summaries)) can be accessed from the CCH online library.  

 

A note on referencing

Ensure you read and understand the requirements of this Course Description and, in particular, sections 1.8, 1.9 and 1.14.

 

 

Assignment Criteria:

You will be assessed on:

 

Presentation

Readable connected prose NOT point form summaries

Accurate spelling, grammar, punctuation, paragraph construction and proofreading

Effective use of HEADINGS

Consistent and accurate acknowledgment of sources using a recognised style – both in relation to in-text referencing and bibliography. Please refer to this Course Description for warnings regarding plagiarism and referencing. Under University of Ballarat Regulations, if you do not reference in the body of your essay the actual resources you have used (which will mostly be textbooks and articles) you will be given a mark of zero.

Fail Level 2 (F) Poor………………..0-39

Analysis shows little understanding of the problems and few principles discussed. Lacks examples, definitions and explanations in some instances. A superficial, general analysis supplying mainly anecdotal information. Not logically organised. Inadequate referencing and poor expression of concepts.

 

FINAL EXAMINATION  

 

Purpose: The purpose of examination is to provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate and show case what you have learned throughout the course.  It is important that you clearly explain and discuss the law as required by the questions.  Although the examination is partly open book you need to LEARN the material before you go into the examination room (making summary notes is a good way to learn) as you will not have time to find and try to understand the material during the examination itself.  

Criteria:  you will be assessed on your ability to demonstrate your understanding of:

the law:  sections of the relevant legislation and cases

how to use this law to solve problems and to analyse factual scenarios, comment on reforms needed etc.

 

All topics are examinable unless you are advised otherwise

 

Materials allowed into the examination room:    ONLY

SIX pages only A4 single sides of your original typed or handwritten notes or diagrams in English

The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or extracts from the Act – YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WRITE ANY NOTES ON THIS ACT but you may highlight with a coloured pen (highlighter) and can put tags (nothing written on the tag) on the pages. You can download the relevant sections from the internet or bring in a copy of the Act (unannotated). 

NOTE: if you have more than these materials, ALL materials will be confiscated 

 

Format of Final Examination:

To Be Advised. You should take note that the format/content/emphasis in examination papers from previous semesters or teaching periods is not necessarily a good indication of the format, content or emphasis in this. You should therefore ensure you read and understand the advice on the format/content/emphasis when it is provided to you.

 

 

5 SCHEDULE:

 

As semesters and contact hours vary between UB locations, delivery is usually scheduled across three hours a week for 12 weeks. If your location runs this course over less than 12 weeks, your lecturer will adjust the timing of the delivery of the materials.

 

Please note that the sequence and content of lectures and tutorials may need to be changed and the following information should be used as a guide.
