Study Guide
You should have, by now, received a CD Rom Study Guide for the unit
If not, then please contact Student Administration or proceed to the bookstore
for your copy
The study guide is just that! It guides you sequentially through the unit, topic by
topic, each week. We recommend that you format your weekly study in this unit
around the study guide
It commences at Topic 1, Week 1 ends at Topic 11, Week 10; Revision Week 11
The study guide includes:
Various links to Internet web sites (ensure that you are connected to the Internet when
using the study guide)
A searchable, specially tailored Glossary of Terms (on Home page under Glossary)
A general search facility (on Home page under Search)
Information about the WileyPLUS simulations access (on Home page under
WileyPLUS)
Electronic Flash Cards and other electronic study games (on Revision page various
menu items)

The Unit Guide can be accessed via a link on the MPM701 Cloud Deakin site
You must read the unit guide because it contains lots of information pertaining
to things such as an administrative unit overview, learning resources,
assessment, academic honesty and misconduct and learning support
It also contains a Unit Planner (or schedule) which provides by Week Number
week commencement dates and topic titles, relevant due dates, trimester break
dates, and revision period, study period and examination period details
It might be a good idea to use these details this week to fill your own planners
and diaries as you get organised and settled for the trimester of study ahead
13
Teams
There are many benefits to working in teams during your studies at Deakin
The BPM discipline demands strong team work
The written assignment and presentation assessment components in MPM701
are both to be administered by you, in teams of three individuals
Teams will also be asked on occasion to prepare answers to weekly review
questions and then present these in weekly seminars unit facilitators will
coordinate this with you at your seminars
14
Cloud Deakin
Cloud Deakin is the main contact area that you will use to communicate with the
unit facilitators and fellow students
Please familiarise yourself with the MPM701 Cloud Deakin site during week one
have a good look around and if anything is of concern, then discuss this with
your unit facilitator
The unit facilitators will access the MPM701 Cloud Deakin site every business day
You will obtain access to various things in Cloud Deakin such as:
Unit Announcements
Assessment Briefs
Slide Sets
Discussion Forums (for topics and administrative assistance)
Links to the unit eLive Virtual Seminar Room
Various links to an array of other useful study resources
Our Cloud Deakin site is a happy, supportive, collegiate and shared (by MPM701
students) space it is up to all of us to maintain this spirit
15
Issues of a private nature should be discussed privately with your facilitators
By now you will have your own study routines but if you are struggling getting
started with this unit you might want to follow this stepped formula each week
Read Study Guide Topic for the week
Follow study guide instructions when asked to read texts, articles, visit web sites and
engage with simulations
Try answering the review questions at the end of each topic (you will also need to be
prepared to discuss these in your seminar groups)
Visit Cloud Deakin for forum discussions and study materials such as topic slide sets
Review the topic slide set
Prepare your own summary notes for each topic
Tend to your written assignment methodically each week up to the end of week 7 (ie.
ensure that you allocate some study time to managing the development of your
written assignment it cannot be commenced and completed in the week that it is
due!)
