Special Study
Requirements:
The unit is delivered using a blended format integrating online and face to face
content delivery and learning activities. Each topic builds on knowledge and skills
developed in earlier topics to support the progressive acquisition of knowledge.
Therefore students are required to complete the weekly home-study as well the on-line
learning program and attend twelve (12) face to face workshops. The learning
process in this unit tends to be on learning through a cycle of action-and-reflection that
combines:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
To gain the maximum learning experience you must complete learning activities
fully, and be familiar with the content material prior to attending the weekly
workshops. The workshops are structured authentic learning experiences that
aim to enable you, to apply your knowledge and understanding of accounting
concepts to real life situations and problems. Consequently students must be
familiar with the content of the case studies or tutorial questions and be prepared
to contribute to the dialogue on the contemporary accounting issues under
consideration. Annotated solutions will be posted to LMS by the end of each week.
The normal workload expectations of a student are approximately 5 hours per
week. It may be that in periods where you need to complete assessment tasks or
examinations, the workload may be greater.

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.

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 students 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.
