Workload requirements
Minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per
semester typically comprising a mixture of scheduled learning activities and independent study.

activities may include a combination of teacher directed learning, peer directed learning and online
engagement.
See also Unit timetable information
Additional workload requirements
BTF1010 is a six point unit with three hours class contact per week over 12 teaching weeks. The total
time commitment for this unit is 144 hours.
Students are expected to devote 12 hours per week to its study. This includes three hours of class
contact, each week and an average of nine hours in self-directed study per week, including general
study, revision, preparation and completion of assessment tasks and examination preparation.
Students are expected to prepare answers to tutorial questions and will be called upon to
discuss their answers in tutorials.
Experience has shown that students who fail to prepare their own answers to the questions from
EACH WEEK are more likely to fail the exam in this unit.
Students are strongly advised to form their own informal study groups to assist one another in preparing
and reviewing tutorial questions etc. Unsuccessful students often do not do this. Successful students
often do this.

Your feedback to Us
Monash is committed to excellence in education and regularly seeks feedback from students, employers
and staff. One of the key formal ways students have to provide feedback is through the Student
Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The University’s student evaluation policy requires that
every unit is evaluated each year. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the surveys. The
feedback is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied
and areas for improvement.
For more information on Monash’s educational strategy, see:
www.monash.edu.au/about/monash-directions/ and on student evaluations, see:
www.policy.monash.edu/policy-bank/academic/education/quality/student-evaluation-policy.html

Teaching Approach
• Lecture and tutorials or problem classes
This teaching and learning approach provides facilitated learning, practical exploration and peer
learning.
The online lessons, online quizzes and assigned textbook readings must be completed prior to
class. advanceresearch and experience shows that if a student prepares well for tutorials,
student performance is improved, particularly in the final examination. This is because the final
exam and mid-semester exam contain questions similar to the tutorial questions.
STUDENTS WHO DO NOT PREPARE INVIDUAL ANSWERS TO THE SCENARIO STYLE
QUESTIONS (EG AS DISCUSSED IN GROUPS DURING CLASS) WILL STRUGGLE TO PASS
THE EXAMS.
Please note that the tutors role is to facilitate discussions not provide a mini-lecture or dictate
model answers. If a student is unclear on any aspect of the material after the class - he or she
should see a tutor during consultation times. Consultation times are on Moodle. There are a
number of other opportunities for further assistance, including the PASS programme and self
formed student study groups.

Unit Schedule
Hurdle Requirements
There is a hurdle requirement in this unit.
A student must attain a result of at least 45% (i.e. 27 marks out of 60 marks) in the final exam to pass
this unit.
Where a student fails the unit solely because of failure to satisfy the hurdle requirement a maximum final
mark of 48/100 will be received for the unit.
Second marking
Where an assessment task is given a fail grade by an examiner, that piece of work will be marked again
by a second examiner who will independently evaluate the work, and consult with the first marker. No
student will be awarded a fail grade for an assessment task or unit without a second examiner confirming
the result.
Note: Exceptions to this are individual pieces of assessment contributing 10% or less of the final mark,
unless the total of such pieces exceeds 30% of the final mark.
Return of final marks
Faculty policy states that 'the final mark that a student receives for a unit will be determined by the Board
of Examiners on the recommendation of the Chief Examiner taking into account all aspects of
assessment'.
The final mark for this unit will be released by the Board of Examiners on the date nominated in the
Faculty Calendar. Student results will be accessible through the my.monash portal.

• Examination 1
Weighting:
60% of the total marks for the unit. NOTE THERE IS A HURDLE REQUIREMENT
Length:
2 hours
Type (open/closed book):
Open book
Hurdle requirements:
Students must score a mark of at least 45% (i.e. at least 27 out of 60 marks) in the
final exam to pass this unit.
A student’s final mark is normally the sum of the marks obtained in all of the individual
assessment items in the unit. Where a student fails the unit solely because of failure to
satisfy the hurdle requirement a maximum mark of 48 will be returned for the unit.
Students must prepare thoroughly for the final exam – this is best done by individually
preparing answers to exam style questions (some questions will be provided via Moodle
and there are questions at the end of all chapters in the textbook). Once students have
attempted preparing answers individually, there is great value in discussing answers with
other students in informal study groups.
Electronic devices allowed in the exam:
No electronic items on any kind (including translators/dictionaries) are permitted in
the final exam.
STUDENTS REQUIRING DICTIONARIES MAY BRING PRINTED DICTIONARIES AND
ANY OTHER NON-ELECTRONIC ITEMS INTO THE EXAM.
