FINC20019: Assessment Task 2: Part A (20 marks) and Part B (10 marks) Part A: Individual or Group Assignment due in Week 9, Thursday, 12 May 2016 at 5.00pm The first part is a group assignment for on campus students and the group should consist of 2 students. Distant learning (FLEX) studentscan also do this assignment in group of 2 but this is likely to be difficult and therefore can do this assignment individually. If students do this assignment as a group, only one member of the group will submit the assignment online by uploading it in Moodle. The marksheet of this assignment is your coversheet and the names of the students in the group must be clearly indicated, or if you are doing individually, your name is to be written on the marksheet. The rubric on the marksheetis to let you understand how the marks are distributed and awarded to each question. For students doing the assignment in group of 2, by completing the names in the marksheet, you are acknowledging that both of you have contributed almost similar amount of time and effort and that the same mark will be awarded to both. Should one student believes he/she should get more marks than the other student, both of you must make a signed declaration of how the marks are to be divided. This declaration is to be emailed to both your Course coordinator and your lecturer. Students are to provide answers / solutions to the 5Questions that can be found at the end of the chapters,as indicated below, of the prescribed textbook (7th edition). This online submission MUST BE in word document. PDF document will not be accepted. Question 1: Chapter 8: Q8(b) and 8(c)only Question 2: Chapter 9: Q10 Question 3: Chapter 9: Q12 Question 4: Chapter 10: Q16 Question 5: Chapter 11: Q13 For calculation questions, marks will be awarded for the accuracy in the calculations, showing the right formulae used, the steps in the calculations, the correct answers and any diagrams/timeline as required.Correct answers alone will give you 50% of the total mark. For theory question, it should not be longer than 2 pages (or NOT more than 750 words) and students are to write essay type responses in your own words. Marks will be awarded for clarity of explanations and paraphrasing from other sources including the textbooks. Concise description and correctness of answers are also important together with diagrams or figures where applicable. Where copying from other sources results in high % similarity, marks will be deducted as shown on the marksheet. Therefore, proper use of in-text referencing is important and avoid direct quotes. Turnitin will be used to check % similarity. Do not copy the questions from the textbook as this would reflect as part of the % similarity. Under extenuating circumstances where high % similarity indicates copying from written works of other students in CQU or other universities or any other institutions world-wide, the assignment will be reviewed by academic misconduct board for appropriate actions. 30% of the marks are awarded for the four areas mentioned below and the distribution of the marks are shown in the marksheet: 1. Percentage similarity less than 20%: If percentage similarity exceeds 20%, marks will be deducted based on a progressive scale. 2. Research: Additional information apart from those in the textbooks. 3. Use of in-text referencing: Proper referencing and a reference list are needed. 4. Overall presentation: Assignment is properly organised and set out. The assignment will be marked out of 100 marks but will be scaled down to 20 marks. Penalty for late submission is 5% per calendar day, ie, 1.0 mark per day including Saturday and Sunday.
