    Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Assessment: Semester 1, 2017
    Financial Accounting Theory is designed to enable you to apply financial accounting
    theories to a contemporary workplace situation. It includes a Work Integrated Learning
    (WIL) experience in which your knowledge and skills are applied and assessed in a real
    simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is
    integral to your experience.

    weekly meetings, which are attended by colleagues from Advisory Services, the Advisory
    Services Manager, and the Advisory Services Partner. One of the tasks required of each
    team during these weekly meetings is to research a contemporary issue in the field and
    update the rest of the employees. The results of each team’s research are also submitted
    to the Advisory Services Manager in the form of a written report, which is then available for
    future reference.

    Assessment Specifications
    1. Group Presentation
    Each group will present the initial reference for their selected topic of investigation to the
    class on their allocated day. The group presentation will simulate the experience of team
    presentations at Water Partners weekly meetings as part of their professional development
    program. The presentation will also be attended by a representative from industry. It is
    anticipated that each group will also receive feedback from the industry representative,
    although this will not contribute to the mark awarded for this assessment item.
    For tips on oral presentations, please refer to the RMIT Learning Lab:
    https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/learninglab/content/oral-presentations
    Length: Each group will be allocated approximately 20 minutes for their presentation. It is
    suggested that the presentation by all members of the group be of approximately 15
    minutes duration, with the remainder of the time being devoted to questions and answers
    and feedback from the industry representative at its conclusion.
    Financial Accounting Theory - WIL Assessment  Page 3
    Due date: The due date will be as stated on the class list according to the topic selected.
    Assessment weighting: This assessment item is worth 10% of your total mark for this
    course. The key criteria are specified in the attached rubric (refer page 9).
    Individual/group effort: This is a group presentation and all group members are expected
    to participate in the presentation. Marks will be allocated on a group and individual basis.
    While the norm is that all group members will receive the same mark for the group
    component, marks may be adjusted if it is noted that individual group members have
    contributed at a standard that is higher or lower than the rest of their group members.
    2. Group Report
    Each group is required to submit a complete and thoroughly investigated report which
    addresses the question posed for the topic of investigation selected from the class list.
    Each group is required to organise group meetings and create a Group Meeting Log. It is
    expected that each group will hold at least three meetings during the group presentation
    and report preparation process. Group meetings do not have to be face-to-face, but may
    utilise various formats such as Facebook, Skype or any other available networking
    technology. It is also strongly recommended that you meet with the lecturer allocated
    to your topic of investigation during the preparation process. Please refer to the list
    on Blackboard for the lecturer allocated to your topic of investigation. For each
    meeting, including the meeting with your lecturer, an Agenda will need to be prepared prior
    to the meeting (using Appendix 1, refer page 7) and Minutes recorded during the meeting
    (using Appendix 2, refer page 8) in accordance with standard business practice. Word files
    containing templates of these documents have been provided on blackboard in the
    Assessment Tasks folder. The Agenda and Minutes for each group meeting will form the
    Group Meeting Log, which is to be submitted as a separate file when submitting the Group
    Report.
    Group Report format: The Group Report must be in a report format, i.e., the content is
    split into several logical sections and sub-sections. These sections should include: an
    executive summary, introduction, main section of the report, conclusion and reference list.
    For tips on writing reports, please refer to the RMIT Learning Lab:
    https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/learninglab/content/reports-0
    Length: The total length of the Group Report is a maximum of 3,000 words (excluding
    references, tables, figures and appendices). Refer also to the section on penalties for
    exceeding the word limit below.
    Due date: By 5pm on Friday 2 nd June, 2017.
    Assessment weighting: This assessment item is worth 20% of your total mark for this
    course. The key criteria are specified in the attached rubric (refer page 10).
    Individual/group effort: This is a group report and all group members are expected to
    contribute to the writing of the report. While the norm is that all group members will receive
    the same mark, marks may be adjusted if it is noted that individual group members have
    contributed at a standard that is higher or lower than the rest of their group members. The
    Group Meeting Log may be drawn upon to inform this decision.
    Financial Accounting Theory - WIL Assessment  Page 4
    Group Report submission: Only one person from the group is permitted to upload the
    Group Report and Meeting Log. The group must decide who will take on this responsibility.
    All submissions must follow the file naming protocol below. Submission involves uploading
    the Group Report in WORD file format via two links. The Group Report is first uploaded to
    Turnitin to check originality. The Group Report is then uploaded to the Group Report link so
    that it can be assessed. Both links can be found on Blackboard in the Assessments Tasks
    folder.
    Turnitin Link: The Group Report must first be uploaded to Turnitin. The Group Report will
    not be marked if it has not been first uploaded to Turnitin. You must press the SUBMIT
    button to upload the file. Multiple submissions can be made anytime during a two week
    period prior to the due date. This allows groups to check originality and make any desired
    changes based on the results obtained. Please note that Turnitin can take 24 hours to reset
    and produce an originality report between submissions. Once the group is satisfied with the
    Originality Report generated, save the report in PDF format. Please do not upload the
    Meeting Log file to Turnitin.
    Group Report Link: The Group Report must then be submitted via the Group Report link
    by the nominated person. The Group Report will not be marked if it has not been uploaded
    to the Group Report link. The Meeting Log and Originality Report are also required to be
    uploaded to this link. You must press the SUBMIT button to upload the files. There are
    therefore three files that are required to be uploaded to this link:
    1. Group Report (WORD format)
    2. Meeting Log (WORD format)
    3. Originality Report (PDF format)
    File Naming Protocol: The file containing the Group Report uploaded by the nominated
    student must be in WORD file format and use the following file naming protocol:
    [Class]_[Group Number]_Group Report
    For example, if you attend Meredith’s Tuesday 5.30pm class and are Group 1, your file
    should be named:
    Meredith_Tue_5.30_Group1_Group Report
    The file containing the Meeting Log uploaded by the nominated student must be in WORD
    file format and use the following file naming protocol:
    [Class]_[Group Number]_Meeting Log
    Failure to follow this protocol can result in the Group Report not being marked or marks not
    being awarded. Please ensure all student names, together with their respective student
    numbers, are clearly stated on the front page of the Group Report.
    3. Individual reflective journal and statement
    Part A: Reflective Journal
    This assessment task requires you to reflect upon your learning experience in this course,
    including those aspects you found most challenging, surprising, exciting and/or frustrating,
    and record your reflections in a Reflective Journal. Most important will be your reflections
    Financial Accounting Theory - WIL Assessment  Page 5
    on studying this course and the insights and resultant skills that you have developed during
    the semester. You are also required to include your reflections on at least one of the
    presentations from each of the two weeks during which presentations were held.
    For tips on writing reflective journals, please refer to the RMIT Learning Lab:
    https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/learninglab/content/reflective-writing-1
    Length: The total length of the Reflective Journal is a maximum of 1,000 words. Refer also
    to the section on penalties for exceeding the word limit below.
    Assessment weighting: This assessment item is worth 10% of your total mark for this
    course. The assessment criteria for the Reflective Journal are how carefully and honestly
    you have personally reflected upon the study experience, and how well the learning-related
    outcomes are highlighted and explained. The key criteria are specified in the attached
    rubric (refer page 11).
    Part B: Statement

    ACCT1077 Financial Accounting Theory 会计理论 代写
    This assessment task requires you to write a statement addressing the required attributes
    for the advertised Graduate Position at Water Partners (refer page 1 of this document). In
    providing evidence that you have acquired each of the criteria in your statement, you
    should make mention of any relevant skills that you have developed as a result of studying
    Financial Accounting Theory this semester and/or through other work and personal
    experiences. A curriculum vitae or resume is not required.
    There are a number of resources available in the RMIT Careers Toolkit which may assist
    you in completing this task: https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/careerstoolkit/welcome
    Length: The total length of the Statement is a maximum of 1,000 words. Refer also to the
    section on penalties for exceeding the word limit below.
    Assessment weighting: This assessment item is worth 10% of your total mark for this
    course. The assessment criteria for the Statement are how well you have addressed each
    of the required attributes. The key criteria are specified in the attached rubric (refer page
    12).
    Part A and Part B:
    Due date: By 5pm on Friday 2 nd June, 2017.
    Individual/group effort: This is an individual assessment item.
    Individual Reflective Journal and Statement submission: Submission involves
    uploading the Reflective Journal and Statement via the Turnitin link only. You must press
    the SUBMIT button to upload the file. The Individual submission will not be marked if it has
    not been correctly uploaded to the Individual Turnitin link.
    File Naming Protocol: The uploaded file containing both the Reflective Journal and
    Statement must be in WORD file format and use the following file naming protocol:
    [Class]_[Student name]_Individual Submission
    For example, if you attend Meredith’s Tuesday 5.30pm class, your file should be named:
    Meredith_Tue_5.30_[your name]_Individual Submission
    Financial Accounting Theory - WIL Assessment  Page 6
    Referencing guidelines
    All sources of information must be acknowledged using the RMIT Business version of the
    Harvard (author-date) referencing system in written assessments. A reference list must
    also be included in your Group Report.
    Please refer to the Library Referencing Guidelines:
    http://www1.rmit.edu.au/library/referencing-guides
    For tips on referencing, please refer to the RMIT Learning Lab:
    https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/learninglab/content/referencing
    Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
    Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means
    acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and
    ideas. Plagiarism is the presentation of the work, idea or creation of another person as
    though it is your own. It is a form of cheating and is a very serious academic offence that
    may lead to expulsion from the University.
    RMIT’s policy on Academic Integrity can be read at:
    http://www1.rmit.edu.au/students/academic-integrity
    Penalties for Late Submission and Exceeding Word Limits
    If you wish to apply for an extension of time for submission of any of the WIL assessment
    items, you must apply in writing to the Course Coordinator before the stated submission
    date. Extensions to submission deadlines beyond 7 days are allowed only as a result of a
    successful application for Special Consideration.
    Unless an extension has been granted, penalties will be applied. All WIL assessment
    items will be marked as if submitted on time, then the mark awarded will be reduced by
    10% for each day (or part of a day) it is late. For example, if an assessment item is worth
    20 marks and is submitted one day late, the penalty is 10% of 20 marks, which is 2 marks.
    WIL assessment items overdue by 7 days or more will not be marked and will be awarded
    a mark of zero.
    Assessment items that exceed the word limit by more than 10% (not including references,
    tables, figures, and appendices) will attract a marking penalty that is 5% of the total
    available marks. For example, an assessment item with a word limit of 3,000 words will
    incur a penalty of 5% if the submission has in excess of 3,300 words.
