students who are not completing assignments or sitting for tests or who are not engaging with the
subject may be contacted by the subject coordinator to discuss their circumstances.
Minimum standards of consultation

According to the Academic Communication with Students Policy
(https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00139#s3) (clause 8 in section 3), when a student
directly contacts a teaching staff member for information, advice and/or support (except in online
teaching spaces) the teaching staff member will respond to the request within 3 working days. Clauses
19-21: Use of Online Discussion and Communication Technologies states that for each subject, the
Subject Coordinator will be expected to set up and/or activate an appropriate asynchronous
communication technology and respond at least once a week to student messages that request
information and advice.
The Higher Degree by Research Candidates Policy - Academic Communication

(https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00283) states that a Communication Plan, a
documented agreement between a HDR candidate and his/her supervisory team that establishes
common understandings and expectations of how and when communication will occur during the
candidature will be developed. The Plan should then be reviewed regularly throughout candidature.
Contact procedures
Communicating with the lecturer and with other students
Below are some basic protocols for communicating with your peers and with lecturers in this subject.
Emails to lecturer
This is a useful form of communication to be used when you have personal queries to ask the lecturer

and would not want anyone else to receive the response; for example, if you are seeking an extension
of your assignment due date.
Email is the best option. Please send a brief message regarding the issue. Include your phone number
so a staff member can contact you via phone if that is more appropriate. When sending emails, please
state the subject code and your name and ID number in the email title/subject. This will avoid your
email being treated as SPAM.

Some further explanation of how these grading criteria are applied in this subject
Final grades for this subject are awarded by the Business Faculty Assessment Committee in
accordance with the University's Assessment Regulations. (See current Academic Regulations via
(http://www.csu.edu.au).
FAIL
< 30 F Failure - poor learning. Irrelevant or incorrect. Gross plagiarism, or no response at all.
< 50 Substantive failure—although a substantial attempt, clearly inadequate performance for the level
of the course and the unit, as indicated in the Unit Information and other relevant College materials.
Failure to achieve a near pass due to, for example, an apparent misunderstanding of part or all of the
assignment instructions, while performance in other aspects in adequate. There may be grounds for a
re-submission here. Understood a few basic aspects, heavy reliance on retelling with minimal
transformation. Transformation refers to the ability to apply learning or knowledge. For example,
making links between theory and practice.
PASS
Understanding of several aspects but they are unintegrated - little evidence of transformation of
sources or conceptualising beyond the given.
Greater than 50 but-
< 55 Minimal. A sparse collection of relevant aspects, which at least shows that the student has a basic
grasp of what is involved, but these are not developed; likely to include some retelling of text, lecture,
and other prescribed source material, with some but little transformation.
< 60 Adequate. Most relevant aspects addressed in one way or another; some evidence of going
beyond set sources but with only a little transformation or application to new areas. Good coverage,
but unoriginal.
< 64 Very well. A common very good P is the encyclopaedic response which is highly descriptive but
in a sophisticated way. If the question is generally phrased this is
acceptable. If the question is specifically phrased for higher order thinking, this would not be
acceptable.
CREDIT
Parts cohere to make an appropriate whole showing integration and transformation. Greater than 65
but-
< 65 Minimal. The question is answered appropriately but the case is minimally argued, so that not all
the relevant data are used.
< 70 Adequate. Question is well answered - a good ‘argument’ is presented, the literature is
appropriately covered, selectivity and judgement in what is important, and what is less important is
demonstrated, language use is appropriate.
< 75 Very well. All of the above, only better, but not going beyond the given. DISTINCTION/HIGH
DISTINCTION
High level of abstract thinking, originality (in applications and/or conclusion), elegance and/or
generalisation to new contexts, reflectivity (including generalising from personal experience which has
been sharply perceived). Quite clearly expressed with conventions used correctly, and with evidence
of wide reading. Implications substantially addressed where relevant. Connections are made with
learning elsewhere, particularly in context of the course’s integrating themes.

Greater than 74 but-
< 75 Minimal. May be an abstract idea of good potential, but not worked through or not backed up by
adequate reading; an original project that didn’t quite come off.
< 80 Adequate. All or most of the grade characteristics, carried through well.
< 85 Very well. The best possible performance imaginable. Excellence demonstrated at both the
practitioner and academic levels expected. Superior performance to that of the excellence expected for
the unit and level will attract a higher mark.
Assessment Requirements
Assessment at CSU is criterion-referenced and standards-based where students' work is assessed
against stated criteria that reflect the expected learning outcomes of the course and subject. Subjects
that use a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading scale will have this clearly identified within the Subject
Outline.
For further information please consult the University's Assessment Policy: Coursework Subjects
(https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00301).
Referencing
Referencing is an important component of academic writing. All CSU assessment tasks should be
appropriately referenced. The specific details of the referencing requirements are included in each
assessment task description.
For further information and assistance with referencing refer to

http://student.csu.edu.au/study/referencing-at-csu
Presentation
For information on the presentation of your assessment items you should refer to the marking criteria
for each assessment item. The following link provides study resources, such as referencing, writing,
grammar and punctuation, and study plan http://student.csu.edu.au/study/resources
The following are some general guidance for essay writing.
Preparation and Submission of essays

1. Introduction
The rationale behind assigning essays is that written expression is an important part of organisational
life. In addition, administration subjects require the student to undertake considerable reading. Essay
writing is a useful way to test amount of reading and reading comprehension.
Essay deadlines must be strictly adhered to. Students should expect marks to be lost for late
assignments. Punctuality is a virtue of good managers.
Essays should be approximately the suggested length but should be compact. This means that final
drafts should involve cutting back, rather than padding, an earlier draft. Brevity is also a virtue of good
managers.
At least one copy should be made of the final draft copy. Keep a copy of your assignment in case the
original is lost. The practice of making duplicate copies of submissions is a normal part of
organisational life.

The Distance Education Manual that comes with your mail package also provides some useful
guidance on writing and referencing.
2. Preparation
Quality essays cannot be written on a one draft only basis. At a minimum, the essay writer should:
Start with a rough outline of topics that will be covered in the paper. Topics should be arranged in a
logical sequence. At this stage the paper will look something like a 'rough' table of contents.
Expand each topic into sentences and paragraphs that include all the thoughts the writer can find or
create related to the topic.
Pare down this rough draft eliminating unrequired statements, correcting errors in spelling and
grammar, and adding the bibliography.
In many cases one or more additional redrafts will still be required as new material is found or
thoughts are reorganized.
3. Layout
The front cover of your assignment should include:
Your name and address.

Subject, assignment number and topic.
Date posted.
All pages must be numbered and securely fastened with a stapler.
A table of contents page is optional. Similarly a precis or abstract is optional. If a precis is written, it
should be concise.
4. Expectations for written expression
As you are preparing to become a business professional, there are certain expectations regarding your
written expression in both assessment tasks and other communications that you will make whilst
completing your course. The ability to communicate in a clear and professional manner is a key
expectation of prospective employers, and is also an important generic attribute of a CSU graduate.
Given this, the following guidelines have been created to indicate the standards expected of students.
The use of 'SMS speak' is not appropriate for assessment tasks, forum postings, or email
communication unless specifically permitted by your subject coordinator.
Polite, respectful, professional and concise forum postings and email communications are encouraged.
It is recommended that you adhere to the style of expression specified for assessment tasks e.g. prose,
dot-point, report, third person, etc.
Use standard English spelling, and good sentence structure.
Be careful with grammar, punctuation and referencing.
5. Reference list and/or bibliography
You should include in your reference list only those articles and books that you have actually cited.
The reference list should appear on a separate page immediately after the actual essay (that is, before
the appendix, if there is one).
All references should be formatted according to the APA style required by the University
(http://www.csu.edu.au/division/studserv/my-studies/learning/pdfs/apa.pdf).
6. Appendix
Where an appendix is necessary it should be located as the last section of the essay (that is, after the
list of references).

7. General
Both the use of 'I' (too personal) and 'the writer' (too pompous) are not recommended. It is much better
to make the essay totally impersonal by avoiding both. This means that careful and in some cases,
considerable thinking must be put into some sentences to achieve impersonality. Abbreviations (unless
a translation is made with the initial use) and slang, should be avoided.
Plagiarism
Charles Sturt University expects that the work of its students and staff will uphold the values of
academic honesty and integrity. The Guide to Avoiding Plagiarism is located at:
http://student.csu.edu.au/study/plagiarism. This is an important resource that will help you understand
these values and apply them in practice. You should familiarise yourself with these requirements and
ensure that all assessments submitted by you are your own work, have not been submitted elsewhere
and comply with the University's requirements for academic integrity.
The University has purchased Turnitin software. This software has two functions, a pre-emptive
education function which students may use to check their own work prior to submission, and a
plagiarism detection function which academics may use to check the student’s work for improper
citation or potential plagiarism. Use by students is optional and is not a prerequisite for submission.
You are encouraged to check your work for originality prior to submission. You can register with
Turnitin to create a Student Account under the CSU Turnitin Licence at
http://www.turnitin.com/login_page.asp. Further information on how to use Turnitin is provided
within the Guide to Avoiding Plagiarism: http://student.csu.edu.au/study/plagiarism/checking.
Collaboration
Unless indicated as a group task, all assessments must be the work of individual students. Contracting
or outsourcing assessments will be investigated and may result in failure in the assessment or the
subject
Extensions
In order to ensure that students who hand their assignments in on time are not disadvantaged, and to
enable the lecturer to comply with the requirement to return assignments to the class within 21 days,
the following rules about extensions will be strictly enforced:
1. Extensions cannot be granted for online tests, as these have to be done within a specific time
frame, after which the answers are released to the class automatically.
2. Computer problems (such as the speed of your computer and the time it may take you to
upload assignments onto Turnitin) and normal work-related pressures and family
commitments do not constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions.
3. If it becomes obvious that you are not going to be able to submit an assignment on time
because of an unavoidable problem, you must submit your request for an extension to the
Subject Coordinator in writing (email or post) prior to the due date.
Requests for extensions will not be granted on or after the due date so you must make sure
that any extension is requested prior to the day on which the assignment is due.
You are expected to do all you can to meet assignment deadlines. Work and family related

pressures do not normally constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions or
incomplete grades.
4. If you apply for an extension, you may be asked to email your lecturer on what you have
done so far on the assignment.
5. You must be able to provide documentary evidence (such as a certificate from a doctor or
counsellor) justifying the need for an extension as soon as practicable - but please note that if
the circumstances giving rise to the request for an extension arise on a day when you cannot
get documentary evidence, you must still apply for the extension before the due date and
submit the documentary evidence afterwards.
6. Given the tight deadlines involved in returning assignments to students and putting feedback
on Interact, the maximum extension granted generally will be seven (7) days from the
due date.
7. Assignments received more than 10 days after the due date or extension date will not be
marked unless the staff member decides otherwise. Items received late will be penalised at
10% of the mark available for the assessment item per day it is late (see below).
8. Note that for purposes of measuring lateness, the 'day' begins just after 00.00 hrs AEST - so
an assignment received after midnight of the due date will be penalised 10% for lateness.
This rule will be applied to all students uniformly.
Online Submission
Assignments should be submitted through TurnItIn. TurnItIn password details for this subject will be
given by your lecturer.
TurnItIn does not accept Excel files.
Assignments must be submitted to Turnitin by midnight (AEST) of the date specified.
Postal Submission
Under normal circumstances postal submissions will not be accepted for any of the assessments
required.
Hand Delivered Submission

Under normal circumstances hand delivered submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.
Faxed / Emailed Assignments

Faxed or emailed assessment tasks will not be accepted under normal circumstances.
Penalties for Late Submission

The Faculty of Business has determined that the penalty for the late submission of an assessment task
(without obtaining the Subject Coordinator's approval for an extension) will be:
10% deduction per day, including weekends, of the maximum marks allocated for the assessment
task, i.e. 1 day late 10% deduction, or 2 days late 20% deduction.
An example of the calculation would be:
Maximum marks allocated = 20

Penalty for one day late = 2 marks (so, a score of 18/20 becomes 16/20 and a score of 12/20 becomes
10/20).
If an assignment is due on a Friday but is not submitted until the following Tuesday, then the penalty
will be four days (40% deduction or 8 marks in the example above).

Submissions more than 10 days late will be acknowledged as received but will not be marked.
Resubmission
Under normal circumstances resubmission of assessment items will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required in this subject.
Assignment Return
You should normally expect your marked assignment to be returned to you within three weeks of the
due date, if your assignment was submitted on time. If an assignment is submitted on time but not
returned by the return date, you should make enquiries in the first instance to the subject lecturer. If
the subject lecturer is not available, contact Level 3, Reception.
Feedback
Assessment feedback will be provided by your lecturer on returned submissions and in class feedback.

Essay Writing
Essays are a learning tool. They require you to gather and assess a range of information in relation to a
particular question. To do this you need to distinguish between information that is relevant and not
relevant, evaluate what people have said, and arrive at your own ideas on the topic based upon the
different perspectives and viewpoints you have examined. Your ideas then need to be presented in
such a way that the reader can clearly understand your view, the debate surrounding the topic and how
you have arrived at your position. This means your ideas must be clearly articulated, logically
presented and well supported.
There are many sites where you can find information about essay planning, structure, and formatting.
If you are unclear about how to begin use the structure found at
http://www.csu.edu.au/division/studserv/my-studies/learning/pdfs/essay.pdf
Remember your essay should present your ideas and be supported with appropriate evidence and
references.

Task
In December 2013 Holden announced that they would cease manufacturing in Australia by the end of
2017. The closure of plants at Port Melbourne and Adelaide will result in the loss of 2,900 jobs (
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/holden-to-cease-making-cars-in-australia-in-2017-while-toyota-considers-if-it-can-
).During this period they will continue to produce motor vehicles in Australia. To do this Holden will
need to maintain an efficient workforce and will face a range of issues retaining highly skilled workers
as employees prepare themselves and seek new employment opportunities.
As Director of Human Resources, you have been asked to prepare a report for Head Office in
Detroit that examines and proposes performance appraisal, reward management and training and
development strategies that will enable Holden to maintain productivity and minimise employee stress
during downsizing and eventual closure.

Presentation
Report Writing
Reports are frequently used in business to focus on practical issues or problems for which decisions
need to be made, or action taken. Such a report would need to clearly outline the problem or issue,
interpret the problem/issue using theoretical principles or evidence to support observations and
recommendations. A well written report requires the author “to exhibit investigative skills, judgment
and the ability to write persuasively“ (Sligo, 1994 in Emerson, 1995). A persuasive argument is
objective, and well supported with proof or evidence to support your ideas; you need to explain why
your recommendations are the best (in the short and long term).
There are many different report formats that could be used. Work with a generic report structure for
the assignment, using those sections you consider to be relevant. An example of a report structure can
be found at https://academicskills.anu.edu.au/node/89 .
Remember your report should offer practical ideas that are grounded in the present situation and be
supported by good principles, practice and evidence.

Policy and Procedures

University Policies and Regulations
Academic matters are defined by, and are subject to, Charles Sturt University policies and regulations.
Your Subject Outline should be read in conjunction with all such academic regulations and policies, as
some of these may affect the outcome of your studies.
Academic Progress Regulations

The University requires each student to progress through his or her course at a rate that will enable
him or her to complete the course in a specified maximum time. This maximum time is intended to
ensure the currency of the knowledge within the course and therefore professional suitability of
graduates. Failure to complete within the specified maximum time shall lead to the expiry of a
student?s enrolment in the course. The University believes that all students have a right to know in
advance of study in their course exactly what constitutes satisfactory progress in that course. To this
end the University will specify a maximum completion time for each course, and will also provide
support to students identified as being at risk of exclusion.
The Academic Progress Policy (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00250) sets out the

requirements and procedures for satisfactory academic progress, for the exclusion of students who fail
to progress satisfactorily and for the termination of enrolment for students who fail to complete in the
maximum allowed time.
Variations to Subject Outlines

Should it be necessary to change the content of the Subject Outline during a teaching session, it will be
done in consultation with the Head of School and other support services of the University. You then
will be notified of the changes in writing by the subject coordinator.
Variations to Assessment
Should it be necessary to vary the assessment in this subject, you will be notified in writing by the
Subject Coordinator, or Subject Convenor where one is appointed. The variations to assessment
include variations to the assessment tasks and/or assessment procedures for assignments, examinations
and any other assessment task published in the Subject Outline. The variations will be communicated
only after the Subject Coordinator or Subject Convenor has obtained approval from their Head of
School. The overriding principle is that such changes will not disadvantage students and is made in
accordance with the Subject Outlines Policy (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00267).
Evaluation of Subjects
It is University policy that all subjects are evaluated every time that they are offered. The University's
Division of Student Learning administers the Subject Experience Survey through CSU's online
evaluation system. Staff in the faculties and schools value your feedback very highly and take account
of your comments when reviewing learning and teaching in each subject.
If you are interested in the details of any enhancements to this subject as a result of the latest survey,
please contact the subject coordinator. Students can also view overall results for subjects via the
Student Subject Experience Survey Results Portal:
https://student.csu.edu.au/home/subject-experience-survey-results
Surveys for each of the subjects you are enrolled in for this session will be available for you to
complete for a period of 4 weeks from the last week of the teaching session. An email message will

alert you to the availability of the surveys online.
Please complete the subject evaluation by following the link:

https://P8.courseval.net/etw/ets/et.asp?nxappid=CS2&nxmid=start (http://
https://P8.courseval.net/etw/ets/et.asp?nxappid=CS2&nxmid=start)
Individual subject results are only reported to the Subject Coordinator and Heads of Schools after
grades have been submitted for each teaching session (except where subjects have one student the
results are not reported to staff).
Special Consideration
Academic regulations provide for special consideration to be given if you suffer misadventure or
extenuating circumstances during the session (including the examination period) which prevents you
from meeting acceptable standards or deadlines.
Applications for special consideration must be submitted in writing and include supporting
documentary evidence. Such applications should be sent to the Student Administration Office.
For further information about applying for special consideration please refer to Special Consideration
Policy (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00298).
Assessment Regulations
The assessment practices of all University subjects are conducted in accordance with the University?s
Assessment Policy: Coursework Subjects (https://policy.csu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00301).
Academic Conduct
The University expects that you, as a student, will be honest in your studies and research and that you
will not do anything that will interfere with or frustrate the studies and research of other students. In
particular, you are expected to:
