    STUDENT FEEDBACK ON SUBJECT SURVEY
    The Student Feedback on Subjects (SFS) Survey is part of the quality assurance process that occurs across the university. In
    this survey you are invited to tell us about your learning experiences in this subject. We want you to tell us of your
    experience in this subject. Your views will be taken seriously and will assist us to enhance this subject for the next group of
    students. Your feedback will also contribute to the text for ‘Summary of Previous Student Feedback’ below so please take the
    time to tell us your views. The surveys are anonymous and will be distributed prior to the end of the teaching period.
    For information on Student Feedback on Subjects refer to:
    http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/get-involved/speak-up/subjects-teaching
    SUMMARY OF SFS FEEDBACK FROM LAST YEAR
    Feedback Summary
    The feedback on this subject instance in 2016 was very positive (with an overall student feedback score 0f 4.25 out of 5.00
    for student satisfaction with the subject), and particularly in terms of the nature of the learning and assessment activities.
    The major subject revision from 2015 was the move away from the use of a prescribed US case study book, to the creation
    of bespoke case studies with focus on real businesses and financial information and which are designed to replicate job-
    specific occupations within the finance industry.
    Policies, Procedures and Guidelines
    The University has a comprehensive policy framework to which both staff and students must adhere. You should familiarise yourself with
    those policies, procedures and guidelines likely to affect you especially the following:
      Academic Integrity
      Academic Progress
      Assessment and Feedback
      Extension to Submission Dates
      Late Submission of Assessment Tasks
      Occupational, Health and Safety [OHS]
      Privacy
      Special Consideration
      Student Charter
      Use of Electronic Mail
    The relevant policies, procedures and guidelines can be found on the website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/
    Academic Integrity
    Academic integrity means being honest in academic work and taking responsibility for learning the conventions of scholarship. La Trobe
    University views this seriously as evidenced by the following extract:
    Academic honesty is a fundamental principle in teaching, learning, research and scholarship. The University requires its
    academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic work and it
    demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted scholarly work, and by
    penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating.
    Academic Integrity Procedures (2012, p. 1 of 6)
    Academic misconduct includes improper referencing, plagiarism, copying and cheating. You should familiarise yourself with your
    responsibilities in relation to Academic Integrity and if you have any questions, direct them to your Course Coordinator. Information can be
    found on the website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/learning/academic-integrity.
    All hard copy assignments should be accompanied by the Academic Integrity Assignment Declaration Form available at:
    http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/documents/Assignment-Declaration-Form.pdf

    Special Consideration
    Special Consideration is the term used to describe a process that applies an equity measure to ensure that where any temporary adverse
    circumstances beyond the control of a student, that impact negatively on that student’s ability to demonstrate their learning achievement for
    an assessment task, is taken into account.
    Eligibility to apply for Special Consideration does not automatically imply eligibility to receive it. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order to
    receive Special Consideration.
    Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/
    Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be made online at:
    http://www.latrobe.edu.au/special-consideration
    Extensions, Late Submissions and Penalties
    There are policies and procedures to guarantee fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks provide
    equity around extensions to submission dates and penalties associated with not submitting assessment by the due date and time.
    The University requires fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks. The procedure for late submission is
    documented in the Late Submission of Assessment Tasks document (Ref. no. 112027D). It states:
    The standard penalty for late submission of assessment tasks is 5% of the marks for that task for each delay in
    submission of a day or partial day up to a maximum of five (5) working days after the due date. Assessment tasks will not
    be accepted after the earlier of the following occurrences:
      The fifth (5th) working day after the due date; or
      Feedback on the assessment task has been returned to any student by the Teaching Team member.
    These penalties apply only to individual assessment tasks worth 15% or more of the total assessment for the subject. Late
    submission of take home examinations is not permitted.
    Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be made online
    at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/?a=668155.
    Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/
