Unit Profile Correction added on 01-07-24

Assessment tasks: 1. Online quizzes (Assessment task 1): Task description: Each of the 10 on-line tests is worth 1% of the total grade for the unit. The on-line tests will be open on a weekly basis from weeks 1 to 11, with week 1 being a trial on-line test (ungraded) to get the students familiar with the process. The quizzes will be open at 12.00 PM AEST Wednesday and close at 11.45 PM AEST Wednesday in the following week. The materials assessed in each on-line test will be on key concepts to be covered in the upcoming week's workshop. For example, on-line Test 1 (open on the Wednesday of week 1 and close on Wednesday of week 2) will assess the content to be taught in week 2. The purpose of the on-line test is to enable the students to prepare for the workshop prior to listening to the recorded lecture and undertaking the weekly zoom workshop activities. This will allow students to grasp the material covered during the workshop, engage effectively their peers, and create a good learning environment in the workshop. You will have multiple attempts for each on-line test, and you have 20 minutes to complete the task. Each test will consist of 10 multiple choice questions. Learning outcome assessed: * Analyse and interpret the information provided from an accounting information system * Critically analyse standard management problems, and using appropriate accounting analytical techniques, correctly determine the appropriate parameters for a management decision * Demonstrate an advanced knowledge of accounting tools and techniques for assisting managerial decision making by being able to critically analyse and report on the range of appropriate accounting methods applicable to a given management decision making problem * Demonstrate accuracy in presenting or analysing accounting information in a range of business management problems presented in this unit. 2.
