Management Principles
Semester 1, 2005
As assessment items are designed to examine understanding and/or application of the
course’s learning objectives, non submission of a piece of assessment will result in a failure
to demonstrate mastery of these learning objectives and may therefore incur a fail grade for
the course.
• The research assignment evaluates the student's ability to engage in and critically
analyse research, and develop problem solving and decision making skills. It
facilitates the application of HRM knowledge within a practical organisational setting
through a research project. The group component aims to develop the student’s
interpersonal, team work and oral communication skills.
• The tutorial workshop evaluates the student’s knowledge, understanding and
synthesis of Human Resource Management principles. It facilitates the transference
of knowledge and experiences in a workshop setting. The tutorial workshop aims to
develop the student’s conceptual, analytic, and oral communication skills.
• A final examination will assess the students understanding, application and critical
analysis of Human Resource Management in a controlled environment.
In MGT undergraduate courses where a final examination is set, students must achieve a
minimum of 40% in the final exam in order to pass the course.
