LEARNING & TEACHING APPROACHES

The emphasis in teaching Principles and Practice of Marketing is not simply on the transferring and acquirement of knowledge, but in actively engaging the students to understand and appreciate the subject matter. In this class students will be responsible for their own learning and professional development.

A range of interactive modes is used – class discussions, problem based learning, class presentations, and participatory teaching (with emphasis on flexibility, problem solving and project development).

The learning and teaching during the course will be supplemented by on-line learning support (e-learn), intended to enable information sharing.

Late acceptance policy:

Extensions of time to complete assignments will only be granted in very exceptional circumstances. This is to ensure:
 You are treated with fairness and consistency and
 Lecturers can manage the marking of assessments in an efficient manner

If you are unable to complete assignment work on time it is preferable to hand in an incomplete assignment rather than take additional time and get further behind with subsequent course work. If you are falling behind with your work you should contact the lecturer at the earliest opportunity.

To be granted an extension, you must:
 Approach the course lecturer before the assignment is due and be seeking an extension based on compassionate grounds.






PLAGIARISM AND DISHONESTY

This course regards most seriously any acts of dishonesty relating to assessment. Any such acts will result in a mark of zero for the assessment and may lead to disciplinary action.
In this course cheating includes:
• plagiarism
• unauthorised collaboration
• examination misconduct
• theft of other student’s work


Plagiarism

Plagiarism means borrowing from the work of another without indicating by referencing (and by quotation marks where exact phrases are borrowed) that the ideas expressed are not one’ own. Students may use the ideas and information of other authors, but this use must be acknowledged. It is not acceptable to submit an assignment that is simply paraphrasing of extracts from other authors: the work submitted must include some intellectual contribution of the student.


Unauthorised Collaboration

Unauthorized collaboration means joint effort between students or students and others, in preparing material submitted for assessment, except where this has been approved by the course program. Students are encouraged to discuss matters covered in classes, but when writing an assignment, report, essay, or other piece of assessed work, the recording and treatment of the data and the expression of ideas and argument must be the student’s own work.
