Assessment and Grading


16

Assessment Types of Assessment

Students are evaluated rigorously throughout the programme. Each module usually consists of a continuous assessment component and an end of module assessment component. Depending on the structure and nature of individual courses, students may be continually assessed through quizzes, individual essay or group work and examined or a combination of all.

Continuous Assessment

Continuous Assessment is an ongoing process whereby the student’s performance in class is monitored and given a value. It might include such things as tests, assignments and projects. It is likely to include a consideration of how much the student participates in class discussions, critiques etc.

Examinable Assessment

Examination may be in the form of a written paper to be completed at the end of trimester during the Exam Period.

Study Load

In general, students will follow the recommended program structure for progression. Should they need to deviate from that structure, permission needs to be obtained. This includes repeating a module.

Maximum Workload

The maximum SKS a student can take in each trimester should not exceed 24 SKS and is subjected to approval. Students are advised not to undertake additional courses and should consider carefully before deciding to ‘overload’. A greater workload can adversely affect students’ performance across their modules.

Grading For both assessment and examination, the grade and marks shown in Table 3 will be applied. The passing grade will be a weighted average score of 55 for the overall module. Students who fail a module will re-take the module at the next offering. There will be no supplementary examinations conducted for students who fail a module.

As shown in Table 3, a student has to maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 1.5 to remain in the program.

Table 3 – Grading system

The following non-letter grades can also be used for (up to 12 sks) for non UPH-SIMGE or UPH modules:

Grade Letter S Satisfactory U Unsatisfactory

Table 4 – Non Letter Grades

Computation of Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) The Grade Point Average (GPA) represents the average grade of all courses (including failed courses) attempted by a student in a given year. The GPA is computed as follows:

GPA = [Grade Point x sks for Module 1] + … + [Grade Point x sks for Module X] [Total sks attempted in an academic year] The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) represents the average grade of all courses (including failed courses) attempted by a student. The CGPA is computed as follows: CGPA = [Grade Point x sks for module 1] + … + [Grade Point x sks for Module X]

[Total sks attempted in all the semesters so far] Both the GPA and CGPA are reflected in students’ transcripts. Under the S/U Option, students may declare courses from a specified category to be excluded from the CGPA computation and be graded ‘S’ (Satisfactory) or ‘U’ (Unsatisfactory) instead. Students have to declare courses to be graded S/U before the start of examinations for the semester.


18

Satisfactory Academic Standing

The criteria for satisfactory academic standing in any given semester are:

a) GPA ≤ 2.00, Academic Warning, the student will be counselled to improve. Academic Probation if the CGPA falls below 2.0 for the following semester.

b) CGPA ≤ 2.00 > 1.50 – the student will be given a first warning.

CGPA ≤ 1.50 > 1.00 – the student will be given a second warning.

CGPA ≤ 1.00 – the student will be terminated from the program for the third consecutive semester, or at the end of the final semester of study - Academic Termination.

Graduation

Requirements for Graduation are as follows:

1) Successful completion of the prescribed academic unit requirement as stipulated by the programme curriculum.

2) A minimum CGPA of 2.0 is required at the end of the final semester of study.

Student Attendance

UPH-SIMGE Business School maintains a strict policy regarding student absences and its impact on the final grade for individual courses. Therefore, student attendance is one component for the consideration of progression. A student has to attend at least 85% of classes of a module during the trimester, unless they have a valid medical certificate from hospitals or certified clinics, or compassionate leave. A student who has not achieved the required 85% attendance of a module will be deemed to have failed the module.

If there is a participation component to the module and it is at the faculty member’s discretion to penalise the student on the grounds of poor participation. If approval has been given to participate in secondary activities (outside campus), students may also be penalised for non–participation in those activities.

Students arriving later than 15 minutes to class are marked as absent, at the discretion of the faculty member.

In exceptional circumstances, students can apply for a Leave of Absence (LA) one week in advance by filling out the form available at the School’s Student Services Office. This application is subject to the approval of the Chair of Academic Committee. The categories of leave that are not approved include:

1) Returning to home country during festive periods e.g. Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, etc. 2) Participating in activities (in and outside campus) organised by student bodies during normal

school hours when students are required to attend classes.


19

It is the student's responsibility to notify the relevant Departments/course instructors regarding absences from scheduled academic activities. Students who are absent for an extended period without first obtaining approval for leave will be regarded as being absent without permission and are liable to have their registration status terminated.

Academic Leave

Academic leave is temporary exemption from obligation to follow academic activities and such leave of absence is normally not counted against the maximum candidature of the programme pursued by the student concerned. During the study period, student is permitted to take no more than 4 academic leaves (4 trimester) during their study program. Academic leave cannot be applied for more than two trimester in a row. Application for academic leave should be approved by Academic Committee before

the end of week 4 or before the midterm examination. The application will be passed to Vice Rector 1. ADAK will send the decision letter to the address of respective student/parents. Leave of absence may be granted for the following reasons: 1. Medical Reasons Students who are applying for medical leave of absence for one semester (term) or more must consult the University's Health Physician who will submit an assessment to the relevant Faculty on whether the student is indeed unfit to study for the semester(s). Students who are on medical leave of absence for one semester (term) or more, must also be certified fit to resume studies by the University's Health Physician before s/he can start attending classes. If a student has been consulting a medical practitioner other than one from the University Health Centre during the period of leave, a medical report (in English) from that medical practitioner must be submitted to the University's Health Physician. Students will not be able to register for modules until they have been certified fit. Should they still be unwell, the medical leave of absence may be extended. Such applications for leave extension will be evaluated based on medical recommendations and the student's academic records. 2. Academic reasons Leave may be granted for students to participate in other external academic activities like conference and fieldwork. Unlike students on leave of absence due to other reasons, students who are away for conference or fieldwork are still active in their candidature. If the period of the fieldwork is one semester (term) or more, official academic leave should not be submitted. 3. Personal reasons Leave may be granted for students to participate in activities such as competitions, sports, seminars, and community services, to start-up a company or to attend to personal matters (including maternity leave).

Academic Leave


20

Study Resume

Student who has taken academic leave and returning from academic leave is required to submit a letter to resume to the Programme Director and complete the necessary administrative process.

Medical Leave

Medical Leave must be accompanied by a Medical Certificate (MC). Medical Leave is considered approved ‘after the fact’ and does not automatically impact on the student’s grade. If the student seeks more than a total of two medically certified absences then a signed letter from the medical doctor must be obtained. A student may take a maximum of three days of Medical Leave from a course.

Please note that approved leaves of absences do not run in addition to non-approved ones (for example, a student may not take three MC certified leaves plus two non–approved leaves). In other words: whether as a result of approved or non–approved absence or absence incurred through tardiness, a student may not be absent from a course for more than 15% of the attendance.

Students who have been granted leave are still responsible for satisfactorily completing all assignments due during the absence, and may be subject to a lower grade for late submissions or poor academic performance.

Student Feedback The UPH-SIMGE Business School places a lot of importance on high quality assessment and feedback. These are primary to provide high quality learning and teaching and sustain excellence in teaching and learning as well as successful student achievement. Every module will provide opportunities for students to get feedback on their ongoing performance and achievements. Assessment and feedback are managed in accordance with the Assessment Regulations and Assessment and Feedback Policy.

Feedback is a two-way process - interaction and dialogue between students and their teachers, and a joint and shared responsibility. The particular kinds of feedback that are offered within any given course or programme unit will vary, depending on what and how students are expected to learn and the resources available. It can be (i) summative - providing an accurate judgement and record of a student’s attainment; (ii) formative - helping a student to learn from previous performance in order to improve; or (iii) diagnostic - ascertaining students’ strengths, weaknesses and learning or developmental needs.

Students will be provided with feedback within three weeks after the submission deadline or assessment date or in time to be of use in subsequent assessments within the course, whichever is sooner. This will include a provisional grade or mark. For end of module examinations or end of module project, feedback will be provided within four weeks and include a provisional grade or mark, if applicable.


21

Studying Abroad and Internship


22

Study Abroad UPH-SIMGE Business School supports third year students on exchange at SIMGE (or other approved international exchange programme) for a maximum of 1 trimester. Any course a student intends to take abroad will need to be approved by School before transfer of credit can be considered. While abroad they may take a course with a ‘like-for-like’ equivalence to a course that could be delivered at UPH-SIMGE as part of their curriculum. Credit Transfer will be arranged upon their return and upon satisfactory completion of the course. The student might also be asked to supply evidence in the form of completed course work before this can be given.

Students may also take a course with no such equivalence, yet which still serves their general or core educational needs. However, approval will still need to be sought first. The student are required to supply supporting evidence before Credit Transfer can be granted. This may take the form of course descriptions, class handouts, assignment descriptions, etc. It is highly recommended that Credit Transfer be obtained before the student travels abroad.

Internship Internship is optional. Students must have at least Year 3 standing to register for Internship as a course. Internship is a “Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory” subject, no letter grade.

Student will be supervised by a Faculty, over and above the organization supervisor. The assessment should include:

1) Logbook, Progress report and Final report by the Faculty 2) Assessment of Work in Organization by Organization supervisor


23

Advanced Credit Standing


24

Advanced Standing & Transfer of Credits If a student believes that prior to entering UPH or UPH-SIMGE that they have passed a module that is equivalent to a module that is part of the curriculum of Bachelor of Business Administration degree, then they may apply for Advanced Standing. This will enable the student to be excused for that module.

Eligibility for Advanced Standing

1) Evaluations of module (learning objectives, module syllabus, assessments and credit unit) transferred are based on subjects passed with a grade B or above.

2) For applicants with a Bachelor degree or Diploma qualification from another similar higher education institution; Advanced Standing will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

3) Upon the University’s discretion students’ may be granted Advanced Standing in exceptional circumstances: • University students (Local & International) – credits

transferred as per University norms (approved by Academic Committee).

• Students transferring from international schools with a Foundation program and courses similar to Bachelor degree and hence evaluated by Faculty.


25

Academic Integrity


26

Academic Practice & Plagiarism

Academic Practice

Academic good practice goes beyond understanding and avoiding plagiarism. It encompasses good time management, reading and note taking skills, citation and referencing, research and library skills and information literacy. There are various types of academic misconduct, of which plagiarism is one and arguably the most common. It represents a serious issue in education, so it is important that it is understood and avoided. The University takes very seriously any form of academic misconduct. Information on academic misconduct can be found in the Academic Misconduct section.

Research Integrity

The University expect staff and students to seek and maintain the highest achievable standards in their research conduct. If you are undertaking a research project as part of your course, you are required to abide by all the norms of good research practice and ethical behaviour. Your commitment to conduct research should be with care, rigour, honesty and respect for all and everything involved appertaining to the study. If you are conducting a research that involves human participants or identifiable personal information, you are required to consider the ethical implications such as data protection, confidentiality and anonymity regardless of any methodology used such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations and physiological measurements. You are advised to discuss any such ethical issues with your supervisor/lecturer before the start of your research work and data collection. He or she will be able to advise you on what issues are likely to arise. Ethical approval must be obtained before any research involving human participants is undertaken. It is your responsibility to obtain the approval, you will not be covered by the University’s indemnity insurance if approval is not in place. Failure to follow University procedures may also in some cases result in disciplinary procedures being instigated.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism refers to “using other people’s work or ideas into your own work without full or adequate acknowledgement of the source of that information”. This definition includes all published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed, electronic form or download from an Internet site. It also applies to unpublished text such as lecture notes and handouts, students’ theses or other students‟ essays. Plagiarism is often unintentional and can be avoided by becoming more conscious and developing good writing skill and research practice.


27

Another form of plagiarism is ‘collusion’ and it involves the unauthorised collaboration of students (or others) in a piece of work. Therefore, it is important that students are entirely clear about the extent of collaboration permitted, and which parts of the work must be their own. Why does plagiarism matter? Plagiarism is seen as a breach of ‘academic integrity’ and unethical as a form of theft. Moreover, taking someone’s work and treat it as your own reflects not only poor scholarship, but also means that you have failed to complete the learning process. Deliberate plagiarism is unethical and can have serious consequences for your future career. More importantly, it also undermines the standards of the institution and of the degrees it issues. What happens if you are suspected of plagiarism? If student is suspected of plagiarism in a piece of work submitted for assessment, the matter will be referred to the Programme Director. He/she will thoroughly investigate the claim and summon the student concerned for interview. If there is no evidence of a breach of the regulations, no further action will be taken. However, if it is concluded that an intentional or reckless breach of the regulations has occurred, the academic director will refer the case to appointed disciplinary panel. Intentional or reckless plagiarism may incur severe penalties, including failure of your degree or expulsion from the university. Serious cases of plagiarism and academic dishonesty will be referred to the Examination Committee for further review. Students should be mindful that UPH-SIMGE is obliged to record all cases of plagiarism and academic dishonesty.

If a student is deemed guilty of plagiarism and academic dishonesty, the University reserves the right to impose punitive measures including but not limited to:

1) Students being marked down or failing grade for any coursework that forms the material part of the offence.

2) Students getting a fail grade for any module with which the offence is affiliated. 3) Student will be requested to resubmit coursework that forms the material part of the offence. 4) Students will receive verbal or written warning and following which guardians will be informed

of the said offence. 5) Students marked as having failed the module are not barred from re-taking the assignment or

course.
