2.6 Review of Grade, Deferred Exams & Supplementary Exams/Assessments
Review of Grade:
There may be instances when you believe that your final grade in a subject does not accurately reflect your
performance against the subject criteria. Section 8 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy
(www.koi.edu.au) describes the grounds on which you may apply for a Review of Grade.
If this happens and you are unable to resolve it with the Academic staff concerned then you can apply for a
formal Review of Grade within the timeframes indicated in the following sections of this subject outline -
Supplementary Assessments, 3.2 Appeals Process as well as the Assessment and Assessment Appeals
Policy. Please ensure you read the Review of Grade information before submitting an application.
Review of Grade Day:
Final exam scripts will not normally be returned to students. Students can obtain feedback on their exam
performance at the Review of Grade Day. KOI will hold the Review of Grade Day for all subjects studied in
T320 on
Friday 05 March 2021
Only final exams will be discussed as all other assessments should have been reviewed during the trimester.
If you fail one or more subjects and you wish to consider applying for a Review of Grade you are STRONGLY
ADVISED to attend the Review of Grade Day. You will have the chance to discuss your final exam with your
lecturer, and will be advised if you have valid reasons for applying for a Review of Grade (see Section 3.2
below and the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy).
A formal request for a review of grade may not be considered unless you first contact the subject
coordinator to discuss the result.
Deferred Exams:
If you wish to apply for a deferred exam, you should submit an Application for Assignment Extension or
Deferred Exam Form before the prescribed deadline.
If you miss your mid-trimester or final exam there is no guarantee you will be offered a deferred exam.
You must apply within the stated timeframe and satisfy the conditions for approval to be offered a deferred
exam (see Section 8.1 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy and the Application for
Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Forms). In assessing your request for a deferred exam, KOI will
take into account the information you provide, the severity of the event or circumstance, your performance
on other items of assessment in the subject, class attendance and your history of previous applications for
special consideration.
Deferred mid-trimester exams will be held before the end of week 9. Deferred final exams will be held on
two days during week 1 or 2 in the next trimester. You will not normally be granted a deferred exam on the
grounds that you mistook the time, date or place of an examination, or that you have made arrangements
to be elsewhere at that time; for example, have booked plane tickets.


BUS300
If you are offered a deferred exam, but do not attend you will be awarded 0 marks for the exam. This may
mean it becomes difficult for you to pass the subject. If you apply for a deferred exam within the required
time frame and satisfy the conditions you will be advised by email (to your KOI student email address) of
the time and date for the deferred exam. Please ensure that you are available to take the exam at this time.
Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that item of assessment towards your
final mark in the subject.
Supplementary Assessments (Exams and Assessments):
A supplementary assessment may be offered to students to provide a final opportunity to demonstrate

successful achievement of the learning outcomes of a subject. Supplementary assessments are only offered
at the discretion of the Board of Examiners. In considering whether or not to offer a supplementary
assessment, KOI will take into account your performance on all the major assessment items in the subject,
your attendance, participation and your history of any previous special considerations.
Students are eligible for a supplementary assessment for their final subject in a course where they fail the
subject but have successfully completed all other subjects in the course. You must have completed all major
assessment tasks for the subject and obtained a passing mark on at least one of the major assessment tasks
to be eligible for a supplementary assessment.
If you believe you meet the criteria for a supplementary assessment for the final subject in your course, but
have not received an offer, complete the “Complaint, Grievance, Appeal Form” and send your form to
reception@koi.edu.au. The deadline for applying for supplementary assessment is the Friday of the first
week of classes in the next trimester.
If you are offered a supplementary assessment, you will be advised by email to your KOI student email
address of the time and due date for the supplementary assessment – supplementary exams will normally
be held at the same time as deferred final exams during week 1 or week 2 of the next trimester.
You must pass the supplementary assessment to pass the subject. The maximum grade you can achieve in
a subject based on a supplementary assessment is a PASS grade.
If you:
o are offered a supplementary assessment, but fail it;
o are offered a supplementary exam, but do not attend; or
o are offered a supplementary assessment but do not submit by the due date;
you will receive a FAIL grade for the subject.
2.7 Teaching Methods/Strategies
Briefly described below are the teaching methods/strategies used in this subject:
o Lectures (2 hours/week) are conducted in seminar style and address the subject content, provide
motivation and context and draw on the students’ experience and preparatory reading.
o Tutorials (2 hours/week) include class discussion of case studies and research papers, practice sets
and problem-solving and syndicate work on group projects. Tutorials often include group exercises
and so contribute to the development of teamwork skills and cultural understanding. Tutorial
participation is an essential component of the subject and contributes to the development of many of
the graduate attributes (see section 2.2 above). Tutorial participation contributes towards the
assessment in many subjects (see details in Section 3.1 for this subject). Supplementary tutorial
material such as case studies, recommended readings, review questions etc. will be made available
each week in Moodle.
o Online teaching resources include class materials, readings, model answers to assignments and
exercises and discussion boards. All online materials for this subject as provided by KOI will be found
in the Moodle page for this subject. Students should access Moodle regularly as material may be
updated at any time during the trimester
o Other contact - academic staff may also contact students either via Moodle messaging, or via email to
the email address provided to KOI on enrolment.

BUS300
Assessment topic: Assessment of a company's practices and procedures which highlight a lack of ethical
business practices in relation to a code of conduct (internal) or a regulatory environment (external) and
potential mitigation strategies that could be put in place to avoid this in future.
Task Details: This assessment is a group report and presentation (2 minimum – 3 maximum students
per group) requiring students to critique a documented case of unethical business activity or unethical
government activity in the period 2009-2020. The 10-11 minute presentation should report not only
details of the activity but make comment on ethical theory as it pertains to the case.
The findings of your group report (2500 words) will critically examine the following:
Question:
What do you consider was the ethical concern in a business scandal that causes it to be classified as
unethical.
Sub Headings
1. Analyse if there is a plausible counter argument to this, viewing it as ethical?

2. Describe and reflect on what constitutes a consequentialist ethical action and a non
consequentialist ethical action.
3. Reflect on who could be affected by an unethical action in business
4. Do some industries display a history of unethical behaviour?
5. Why are some countries perceived to be more unethical?
6. Is there evidence that a more robust corporate governance could avert unethical issues?
7. What other mitigating strategies could be put in place to counter unethical business activity?
These scandals include but are not limited to the Sub Prime Scandal 2008-2009, Bernie Madoff,
Nortel, Foxconn suicides 2010, 2019 shell Nigerian scandal, Turing Pharmaceuticals, Libor rate
manipulation 2015, Phone hacking in the UK, FIFA 2015 scandal, BP Deepwater Horizon, VW
Dieselgate, Mossack Fonseca Panama papers, Boeing 737Max, Wells Fargo, Facebook- Cambridge
Analytica scandal and many more: Students will nominate a scandal by week 4 and a maximum of 3
groups will be allowed to cover the same scandal.
Note: There are more scandals in our set text for you to choose from.
Submission requirements details:
Part A: An 8-10 slide Powerpoint presentation is a minimum requirement for the tutorial presentations
which will commence in week 6 and finish by week 10. A reference list on one slide is also expected. All
students need to attend the presentation to be awarded marks. The presentation can be delayed due to an
unforeseen absence, however, must be completed by week 10 or no marks will be allocated for the
presentation. Any student involved in the presentation could be asked a question about the topic chosen
with the expectation all content is shared and understood. Deferring to another student to answer a
question may result in a loss of marks for the individual.
Part B: The 2500 word report will be lodged to Turnitin and again all students are expected to contribute to
the report and to have read and reflected on the report not least of all as it is examinable in the
presentation.

References that are unacceptable include: online encyclopaedia such as Wikipedia, general websites,
blogs, newspapers and magazines. Please check with your tutor or the librarian if unsure about the validity
of sources identified. Students seeking a higher grade should support present a higher number of
references to support the discussion, recommendations and conclusion.

Assessment 3
Assessment Type: Final Exam – individual assessment – closed book exam. Duration: 2 hours plus 10
minutes reading time.
Purpose: The final exam will require students to explain and apply the subject theory to practical situations
as would be found in a modern organisation, identifying issues, drawing conclusions, and making
recommendations. The exam may cover materials used in tutorials, class discussions and/or from the
readings. This assessment contributes specifically to learning outcomes a, b, c and d.
Topic: The examination may cover content from any part of the entire subject.
Value: 40% Due Date: The final exam will be held in the official KOI exam period in
Week 14 of the trimester. The specific date and time will be posted
towards the end of the trimester.
Task Details: The final exam will require students to answer short and/or long answer questions relating to
key functions and practices associated with concepts of business ethics and sustainability within
organisations.
Presentation format for written assignments: Essays and reports are to be typed, in Microsoft Word (doc or
.docx format). They are to be prepared and presented in the format detailed in the table below. This assists
the lecturer and tutors in assessing your work. Further, as the majority of organizations require the use of
standard formats, this process will provide you with helpful experience. Marks will be deducted for
assignments which do not use this format.
Do NOT:
o use colour printing, fancy cover sheets, formatting templates, when submitting your assignments
o use footnotes or endnotes.

3.2 General information about assessment
a) Late Penalties and Extensions
An important part of business life and key to achieving KOI’s graduate outcome of Professional Skills is the
ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines. Consequently, any assessment items such as in-class
quizzes and assignments missed or submitted after the due date/time will attract a penalty (see below).
Students who miss mid-trimester tests and final exams without a valid and accepted reason (see below)
may not be granted a deferred exam and will be awarded 0 marks for assessment item. These penalties
are designed to encourage students to develop good time management practices, and create equity for all
students.
Any penalties applied will only be up to the maximum marks available for the specific piece of assessment
attracting the penalty.
Late penalties, granting of extensions and deferred exams are based on the following:


BUS300
In Class Tests (excluding Mid-Trimester Tests)
o No extensions permitted or granted – a make-up test may only be permitted under very special
circumstances where acceptable supporting evidence is provided. The procedures and timing to apply
for a make-up test (only if available) are as shown in section Applying for an Extension (see below).
o Missing a class test will result in 0 marks for that assessment element unless the above applies.
Written Assessments
o 5% of the total available marks per calendar day unless an extension is approved (see Applying for an
Extension section below)
Presentations
o No extensions permitted or granted – no presentation = 0 marks. The rules for make-up presentations
are the same as for missing in-class tests (described above).
Mid-Trimester Tests and Final Exams
o If students are unable to attend mid-trimester tests or final exams due to illness or some other event
(acceptable to KOI), they must:
− Advise KOI in writing (email: academic@koi.edu.au) as soon as possible, but no later than three
(3) working days after the exam date, that they will be / were absent and the reasons. They will be
advised in writing (return email) as to whether the circumstances are acceptable.
− Complete the appropriate Application for Extension or Deferred Exam Form available from the
Student Information Centre in Moodle, on the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception
Desk (Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St), as soon as possible and email with attachments to
academic@koi.edu.au.
− Provide acceptable documentary evidence in the form of a satisfactorily detailed medical
certificate, police report or some other evidence that will be accepted by KOI.
− Agree to attend the deferred exam as set by KOI.
Deferred exam
o There will only be one deferred exam offered.

o Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that assessment.
o If you miss the deferred exam you will be awarded 0 marks for the assessment. This may mean you
are unable to complete (pass) the subject.
b) Applying for an Extension
If students are unable to submit or attend an assessment when due, and extensions are possible, they
must apply by completing the appropriate Application for Extension form available from the Student
Information Centre in Moodle, the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception Desk (Kent St,
Market St and O’Connell St), as soon as possible but no later than three (3) working days of the
assessment due date.
The completed form must be emailed with supporting documentation to academic@koi.edu.au.

Students and lecturers / tutors will be advised of the outcome of the extension request as soon as
practicable.
Appropriate documentary evidence to support the request for an extension must be supplied. Please
remember there is no guarantee of an extension being granted, and poor organisation is not a satisfactory
reason to be granted an extension.
c) Referencing and Plagiarism
Please remember that all sources used in assessment tasks must be suitably referenced.


BUS300
Failure to acknowledge sources is plagiarism, and as such is a very serious academic issue. Students
plagiarising run the risk of severe penalties ranging from a reduction through to 0 marks for a first offence
for a single assessment task, to exclusion from KOI in the most serious repeat cases. Exclusion has
serious visa implications. The easiest way to avoid plagiarising is to reference all sources.
Harvard referencing is the required method – in-text referencing using Author’s Surname (family name)
and year of publication. A Referencing Guide, “Harvard Referencing”, and a Referencing Tutorial can be
found on the right hand menu strip in Moodle on all subject pages.
An effective way to reference correctly is to use Microsoft Word’s referencing function (please note that
other versions and programs are likely to be different). To use the referencing function, click on the
References Tab in the menu ribbon – students should choose Harvard.
Authorship is also an issue under plagiarism – KOI expects students to submit their own original work in
both assessment and exams, or the original work of their group in the case of a group project. All students
agree to a statement of authorship when submitting assessments online via Moodle, stating that the work
submitted is their own original work.
The following are examples of academic misconduct and can attract severe penalties:
o Handing in work created by someone else (without acknowledgement), whether copied from another
student, written by someone else, or from any published or electronic source, is fraud, and falls under
the general Plagiarism guidelines.
o Copying / cheating in tests and exams is academic misconduct. Such incidents will be treated just as
seriously as other forms of plagiarism.
o Students who willingly allow another student to copy their work in any assessment may be considered
to assisting in copying/cheating, and similar penalties may be applied.
Where a subject coordinator considers that a student might have engaged in academic misconduct, KOI
may require the student to undertake an additional oral exam as a part of the assessment for the subject,
as a way of testing the student’s understanding of their work.
Further information can be found on the KOI website.
d) Reasonable Adjustment
The Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992) makes it unlawful to treat people with a disability
less fairly than people without a disability. In the context of this subject, the principle of Reasonable
Adjustment is applied to ensure that participants with a disability have equitable access to all aspects of the
learning situation. For assessment, this means that artificial barriers to their demonstrating competence
are removed.
Examples of reasonable adjustment in assessment may include:

o provision of an oral assessment, rather than a written assessment
o provision of extra time
o use of adaptive technology.
The focus of the adjusted assessment should be on enabling the participants to demonstrate that they
have achieved the subject purpose, rather than on the method used.
e) Appeals Process
Full details of the KOI Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy may be obtained in hard copy from the
Library, and on the KOI website www.koi.edu.au under Policies and Forms.
Assessments and Mid-Trimester Exams:
Where students are not satisfied with the results of an assessment, including mid-trimester exams, they
have the right to appeal. The process is as follows:


BUS300
o Discuss the assessment with their tutor or lecturer – students should identify where they feel more
marks should have been awarded – students should provide valid reasons based on the marking guide
provided for the assessment. Reasons such as “I worked really hard” are not considered valid.
o If still not satisfied, students should complete an Application for Review of Assessment Marks form,
detailing the reason for review. This form can be found on the KOI website and is also available at KOI
Reception (Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St).
o Application for Review of Assessment Marks forms must be submitted as explained on the form within
ten (10) working days of the return of the marked assessment, or within five (5) working days after the
return of the assessment if the assessment is returned after the end of the trimester.
Review of Grade – whole of subject and final exams:
Where students are not satisfied with the results of the whole subject or with their final exam results, they
have the right to request a Review of Grade – see the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy for
more information.
An Application for Review of Grade/Assessment Form (available from the KOI Website under Policies and
Forms and from KOI Reception at Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St) should be completed clearly
explaining the grounds for the application. The completed application should be submitted as explained on
the form, with supporting evidence attached to the Academic Coordinator.
