Holmes Institute views all forms of academic misconduct as most serious offences. Academic misconduct in any form

during an examination is not tolerated and will be dealt with according to the policies and procedures set out in the

Holmes Institute Student Handbook (see www.holmes.edu.au/highereducation/handbook).

Plagiarism occurs when one uses another person’s ideas or manner of expressing them and passes them off as

one’s own work by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement (that is, referencing the source). Any instances of

plagiarism will be dealt with promptly (see www.holmes.edu.au/highereducation/handbook).

It is important that students reference their work appropriately. The Faculty of Higher Education at Holmes

Institute uses the APA (American Psychological Association) style of referencing. A detailed guide to referencing can

be found in the Student Handbook. It is expected that you will be familiar with the APA style of referencing.

USE OF BLACKBOARD

Holmes Institute uses Blackboard as its online teaching platform and all students enrolled have access to Blackboard

to access their lecture material, grades, important announcements on their subjects and discussion rooms for

selected subjects.

will have viewed lecture materials and additional readings before class. All students are advised to familiarize

themselves with the use of Blackboard. Guides to Blackboard are available in the Resource Centre on each campus

(see www.holmes.edu.au/highereducation/blackboard). Should you have difficulties accessing and/or using

Blackboard, please contact your lecturer or the Holmes Institute Blackboard Helpdesk on:

The Research Papers (25%) each
Each student will nominate a topic and deliver a fifteen minute live presentation (worth 10%) of their research on
that topic.
Following the delivery of the presentation, the topic will be written up as a seminar report (worth 15%) and submitted
to your lecturer within a week of the live presentation. You may incorporate ideas generated in the live presentation.
If a live presentation is below standard a time extension may be granted to allow for improving the quality of the
written report.

Organisation of the research report – a key ingredient to writing a successful essay involves the planning or organising
stage. Organising can help you to sort out your ideas and to present your essay in the order that communicates best
to your readers. Organisation is the procedure of constructing an outline that acts as a plan for your writing task. An
outline forces you to think before you write.

Your essay is to be structured and written as a business report.

It, therefore, must begin with a Management (or Executive) Summary within which you state in stark form (i.e.
unsupported by argument) what you are asserting in this report and you must do that in less than two pages. You
can begin the main body of the report with some general background followed by a description and discussion of
significance of the specific issues considered. This introduction will normally end with a brief paragraph outlining
the plan of the rest of the essay. The next section which could be divided into 2-4 sub-sections if necessary
contains an in-depth discussion of the relevant issues based on the existing literature and/or data. You must
provide in-text references to your sources.
The last section contains a brief summary followed by a complete list of references that are cited in the text of

the essay. Follow a standard referencing method consistently.

Suggested limits are as follows:

 Executive Summary: ideally one page but no more than two.
 Sections 1: Introduction 400-600 words,
 Section 2: Main body of the essay 2,000-2,500 words,
 Sections 3: Conclusions 100-300 words,
 References (5-15 references).

Assessment criteria
The following is a guide to the type of work that is expected at each letter grade level:

HD Outstanding work which exhibits sophisticated understanding and critical synthesis, analysis and evaluation

of the subject matter. While the work utilizes opinions of others, judgements about the value of the subject

matter are made and drawn together in an organized whole. Gaps in the subject matter might also be identified

and the implications discussed.
D Substantial work of high quality, which demonstrates a clear understanding of the subject matter, in which the

relationship between the constituent elements are identified clearly and discussed with some level of critical

analysis. The work also applies abstract ideas in concrete situations.

CR Sound and competent work, which demonstrates a reasonable but not complete grasp of the subject matter.

The work utilizes recall and paraphrases the work of others concerning the subject matter. Some basic level of

critical analysis is evident. Originality in the work is rarely evident.

P Work that demonstrates a satisfactory engagement with the subject matter such that the student is said to have

a general understanding of the field. Provides an adequate basis for further study.

NN Did not meet the learning objective of the subject.
