2.6 Review of Grade, Deferred Exams & Supplementary Exams/Assessments
Review of Grade:
There may be instances when you believe that your final grade in a subject does not accurately reflect your
performance against the subject criteria. Section 8 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy
(www.koi.edu.au) describes the grounds on which you may apply for a Review of Grade.
If this happens and you are unable to resolve it with the Academic staff concerned then you can apply for a
formal Review of Grade within the timeframes indicated in the following sections of this subject outline –

Supplementary Assessments, 3.2 Appeals Process as well as the Assessment and Assessment Appeals
Policy. Please ensure you read the Review of Grade information before submitting an application.
Review of Grade Day:
Final exam scripts will not normally be returned to students. Students can obtain feedback on their exam
performance at the Review of Grade Day. KOI will hold the Review of Grade Day for all subjects studied in
T220 on
Friday 30 October 2020
Only final exams will be discussed as all other assessments should have been reviewed during the trimester.
If you fail one or more subjects and you wish to consider applying for a Review of Grade you are STRONGLY
ADVISED to attend the Review of Grade Day. You will have the chance to discuss your final exam with your
lecturer, and will be advised if you have valid reasons for applying for a Review of Grade (see Section 3.2
below and the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy).
A formal request for a review of grade may not be considered unless you first contact the subject
coordinator to discuss the result.
Deferred Exams:
If you wish to apply for a deferred exam, you should submit an Application for Assignment Extension or
Deferred Exam Form before the prescribed deadline.
If you miss your mid-trimester or final exam there is no guarantee you will be offered a deferred exam.
You must apply within the stated timeframe and satisfy the conditions for approval to be offered a deferred
exam (see Section 8.1 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy and the Application for
Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Forms). In assessing your request for a deferred exam, KOI will
take into account the information you provide, the severity of the event or circumstance, your performance
on other items of assessment in the subject, class attendance and your history of previous applications for
special consideration.
Deferred mid-trimester exams will be held before the end of week 9. Deferred final exams will be held on
two days during week 1 or 2 in the next trimester. You will not normally be granted a deferred exam on the
grounds that you mistook the time, date or place of an examination, or that you have made arrangements
to be elsewhere at that time; for example, have booked plane tickets.
If you are offered a deferred exam, but do not attend you will be awarded 0 marks for the exam. This may
mean it becomes difficult for you to pass the subject. If you apply for a deferred exam within the required
time frame and satisfy the conditions you will be advised by email (to your KOI student email address) of
the time and date for the deferred exam. Please ensure that you are available to take the exam at this time.
Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that item of assessment towards your
final mark in the subject.
Supplementary Assessments (Exams and Assessments):
A supplementary assessment may be offered to students to provide a final opportunity to demonstrate
successful achievement of the learning outcomes of a subject. Supplementary assessments are only offered
at the discretion of the Board of Examiners. In considering whether or not to offer a supplementary
assessment, KOI will take into account your performance on all the major assessment items in the subject,
your attendance, participation and your history of any previous special considerations.
Students are eligible for a supplementary assessment for their final subject in a course where they fail the
subject but have successfully completed all other subjects in the course. You must have completed all major
assessment tasks for the subject and obtained a passing mark on at least one of the major assessment tasks
to be eligible for a supplementary assessment.

If you believe you meet the criteria for a supplementary assessment for the final subject in your course, but
have not received an offer, complete the “Complaint, Grievance, Appeal Form” and send your form to
reception@koi.edu.au. The deadline for applying for supplementary assessment is the Friday of the first
week of classes in the next trimester.
If you are offered a supplementary assessment, you will be advised by email to your KOI student email
address of the time and due date for the supplementary assessment – supplementary exams will normally
be held at the same time as deferred final exams during week 1 or week 2 of the next trimester.
You must pass the supplementary assessment to pass the subject. The maximum grade you can achieve in
a subject based on a supplementary assessment is a PASS grade.
If you:
o are offered a supplementary assessment, but fail it;
o are offered a supplementary exam, but do not attend; or
o are offered a supplementary assessment but do not submit by the due date;
you will receive a FAIL grade for the subject.
2.7 Teaching Methods/Strategies
Briefly described below are the teaching methods/strategies used in this subject:
o Lectures (2 hours/week) are conducted in seminar style and address the subject content, provide
motivation and context and draw on the students’ experience and preparatory reading.
o Tutorials (2 hours/week) include class discussion of case studies and research papers, practice sets and
problem-solving and syndicate work on group projects. Tutorials often include group exercises and so
contribute to the development of teamwork skills and cultural understanding. Tutorial participation is an
essential component of the subject and contributes to the development of many of the graduate attributes
(see section 2.2 above). Tutorial participation contributes towards the assessment in many subjects (see
details in Section 3.1 for this subject). Supplementary tutorial material such as case studies, recommended
readings, review questions etc. will be made available each week in Moodle.
o Online teaching resources include class materials, readings, model answers to assignments and exercises
and discussion boards. All online materials for this subject as provided by KOI will be found in the Moodle
page for this subject. Students should access Moodle regularly as material may be updated at any time

assessment (formative assessment). These assessment tasks include weekly tutorial exercises (as
indicated in the weekly planner) and low stakes graded assessment (as shown in the graded
assessment table). The major assessment tasks where students demonstrate their knowledge and
skills (summative assessment) generally occur later in the study period. These are the major graded
assessment items shown in the graded assessment table.
Final grades are awarded by the Board of Examiners in accordance with KOI’s Assessment and
Assessment Appeals Policy. The definitions and guidelines for the awarding of final grades within the BIT
degree are:
o HD High distinction (85-100%) an outstanding level of achievement in relation to the assessment
process.
o DI Distinction (75-84%) a high level of achievement in relation to the assessment process.
o CR Credit (65-74%) a better than satisfactory level of achievement in relation to the assessment
process.
o P Pass (50-64%) a satisfactory level of achievement in relation to the assessment process.
o F Fail (0-49%) an unsatisfactory level of achievement in relation to the assessment process.

emerging technologies, is fast becoming a key requirement for organizations to be innovative and remain
competitive. Digital has opened doors for better analytics and decision-making, leading enterprises to
explore, analyse, and obtain new insights and ideas to grow their business. Offering a mature collection of
services, tools, and security, the cloud/IoT is an ideal platform for any business developing a digital
transformation strategy.
With reference to the above context write a report on how the digital transformation such as Cloud
Computing and IoT and/or other emerging technologies are becoming a choice of business organizations
for their strategies, business models and the enterprise systems.

Assessment 3
Assessment type: Group Project and Written Report Assessment (2,500 words)
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with practical experience in working in
teams to write a research report to outline the rationale, challenges and benefits provided to different
businesses by developing enterprise architecture for the specified system. This assessment contributes to
learning outcomes c and d.
Value: 30% (Report 25%; Group Work Activity Report 5%) Due date: Week 12
Submission requirements details: All work must be submitted on Moodle by the due date. Reference
sources must be cited in the text of the report, and listed appropriately at the end in a reference list using
Harvard Anglia referencing style.
Assessment topic: Enterprise Systems and Architecture (ESA) design project
Task Details: Students are required to identify core processes and design a suitable ESA “blueprint” for a
specified industry.
You will work in a small group of 2-3 students in a group. Every group should select/prepare their case
study on a different business type such as:
o Health Organizations
o Academic Institutions
o Public Relations Agency
Students should consult with their lecturer or tutor (either in person or via email) to get their topic approved,
and to make sure that there is no direct overlap between groups. Once the topic has been approved,
students should begin the preliminary work for the assignment. The assignment has two deliverables:
Deliverable 1: Write a report of minimum 2,500 words
Deliverable 2: Group Work Activity report
To design a suitable ESA structure for the chosen industry, students are required to identify core business
processes and support functions; front office and back office systems, core information entities;
transactions and information flows; material and financial systems, and support systems for running the
business and management; and external and internal integration
Each group will provide a group work report on how the group has worked together to produce the final
report. It should not contain the main deliverable itself in the final report. Each group documents on how
members discuss and the division of responsibilities and describe how the individual efforts capitalized on
strengths of each group member. It will be used an evidence of individual contributions in the group.
Each group is expected to have at least five group meetings. The meetings minutes documented and
attached as Appendix of the group work report, clearly indicating who was present, issues and actions,
agreed timelines. The group work must indicate that a fair and reasonable distribution of work among the
group members have been achieved. Periodic information such as emails or diary entries must be inserted
into the correct section in chronological order

If the submitted work suggests that not all contributions were of equivalent standard and effort, differential
marks will be awarded to individuals within the same group. It must also document what individual group
members understood as their allocated task, that individual group members submitted allocated work of
acceptable standard and quality by the date that was agreed upon.

3.2 General information about assessment
a) Late Penalties and Extensions
An important part of business life and key to achieving KOI’s graduate outcome of Professional Skills is the
ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines. Consequently, any assessment items such as in-class
quizzes and assignments missed or submitted after the due date/time will attract a penalty (see below).
Students who miss mid-trimester tests and final exams without a valid and accepted reason (see below)
may not be granted a deferred exam and will be awarded 0 marks for assessment item. These penalties
are designed to encourage students to develop good time management practices, and create equity for all
students.
Any penalties applied will only be up to the maximum marks available for the specific piece of assessment
attracting the penalty.
Late penalties, granting of extensions and deferred exams are based on the following:
In Class Tests (excluding Mid-Trimester Tests)
o No extensions permitted or granted – a make-up test may only be permitted under very special
circumstances where acceptable supporting evidence is provided. The procedures and timing to apply
for a make-up test (only if available) are as shown in section Applying for an Extension (see below).
o Missing a class test will result in 0 marks for that assessment element unless the above applies.
Written Assessments
o 5% of the total available marks per calendar day unless an extension is approved (see Applying for an
Extension section below)
Presentations
o No extensions permitted or granted – no presentation = 0 marks. The rules for make-up presentations
are the same as for missing in-class tests (described above).
Mid-Trimester Tests and Final Exams
o If students are unable to attend mid-trimester tests or final exams due to illness or some other event
(acceptable to KOI), they must:
− Advise KOI in writing (email: academic@koi.edu.au) as soon as possible, but no later than three
(3) working days after the exam date, that they will be / were absent and the reasons. They will be
advised in writing (return email) as to whether the circumstances are acceptable.
− Complete the appropriate Application for Extension or Deferred Exam Form available from the
Student Information Centre in Moodle, on the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception
Desk (Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St), as soon as possible and email with attachments to
academic@koi.edu.au.
− Provide acceptable documentary evidence in the form of a satisfactorily detailed medical
certificate, police report or some other evidence that will be accepted by KOI.
− Agree to attend the deferred exam as set by KOI.
Deferred exam
o There will only be one deferred exam offered.
o Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that assessment.
o If you miss the deferred exam you will be awarded 0 marks for the assessment. This may mean you
are unable to complete (pass) the subject.

b) Applying for an Extension
If students are unable to submit or attend an assessment when due, and extensions are possible, they
must apply by completing the appropriate Application for Extension form available from the Student
Information Centre in Moodle, the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception Desk (Kent St,
Market St and O’Connell St), as soon as possible but no later than three (3) working days of the
assessment due date.
The completed form must be emailed with supporting documentation to academic@koi.edu.au.
Students and lecturers / tutors will be advised of the outcome of the extension request as soon as
practicable.
Appropriate documentary evidence to support the request for an extension must be supplied. Please
remember there is no guarantee of an extension being granted, and poor organisation is not a satisfactory
reason to be granted an extension.
c) Referencing and Plagiarism
Please remember that all sources used in assessment tasks must be suitably referenced.
Failure to acknowledge sources is plagiarism, and as such is a very serious academic issue. Students
plagiarising run the risk of severe penalties ranging from a reduction through to 0 marks for a first offence
for a single assessment task, to exclusion from KOI in the most serious repeat cases. Exclusion has
serious visa implications. The easiest way to avoid plagiarising is to reference all sources.
Harvard referencing is the required method – in-text referencing using Author’s Surname (family name)
and year of publication. A Referencing Guide, “Harvard Referencing”, and a Referencing Tutorial can be
found on the right hand menu strip in Moodle on all subject pages.
An effective way to reference correctly is to use Microsoft Word’s referencing function (please note that
other versions and programs are likely to be different). To use the referencing function, click on the
References Tab in the menu ribbon – students should choose Harvard.
Authorship is also an issue under plagiarism – KOI expects students to submit their own original work in
both assessment and exams, or the original work of their group in the case of a group project. All students
agree to a statement of authorship when submitting assessments online via Moodle, stating that the work
submitted is their own original work.
The following are examples of academic misconduct and can attract severe penalties:
o Handing in work created by someone else (without acknowledgement), whether copied from another
student, written by someone else, or from any published or electronic source, is fraud, and falls under
the general Plagiarism guidelines.
o Copying / cheating in tests and exams is academic misconduct. Such incidents will be treated just as
seriously as other forms of plagiarism.
o Students who willingly allow another student to copy their work in any assessment may be considered
to assisting in copying/cheating, and similar penalties may be applied.
Where a subject coordinator considers that a student might have engaged in academic misconduct, KOI
may require the student to undertake an additional oral exam as a part of the assessment for the subject,
as a way of testing the student’s understanding of their work.
Further information can be found on the KOI website.
d) Reasonable Adjustment
The Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992) makes it unlawful to treat people with a disability
less fairly than people without a disability. In the context of this subject, the principle of Reasonable
Adjustment is applied to ensure that participants with a disability have equitable access to all aspects of the
learning situation. For assessment, this means that artificial barriers to their demonstrating competence
are removed.

*AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT PTY LTD © ABN: 72 132 629 979 CRICOS 03171A
Examples of reasonable adjustment in assessment may include:
o provision of an oral assessment, rather than a written assessment
o provision of extra time
o use of adaptive technology.
The focus of the adjusted assessment should be on enabling the participants to demonstrate that they
have achieved the subject purpose, rather than on the method used.
e) Appeals Process
Full details of the KOI Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy may be obtained in hard copy from the
Library, and on the KOI website www.koi.edu.au under Policies and Forms.
Assessments and Mid-Trimester Exams:
Where students are not satisfied with the results of an assessment, including mid-trimester exams, they
have the right to appeal. The process is as follows:
o Discuss the assessment with their tutor or lecturer – students should identify where they feel more
marks should have been awarded – students should provide valid reasons based on the marking guide
provided for the assessment. Reasons such as “I worked really hard” are not considered valid.
o If still not satisfied, students should complete an Application for Review of Assessment Marks form,
detailing the reason for review. This form can be found on the KOI website and is also available at KOI
Reception (Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St).
o Application for Review of Assessment Marks forms must be submitted as explained on the form within
ten (10) working days of the return of the marked assessment, or within five (5) working days after the
return of the assessment if the assessment is returned after the end of the trimester.
Review of Grade – whole of subject and final exams:
Where students are not satisfied with the results of the whole subject or with their final exam results, they
have the right to request a Review of Grade – see the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy for
more information.
An Application for Review of Grade/Assessment Form (available from the KOI Website under Policies and
Forms and from KOI Reception at Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St) should be completed clearly
explaining the grounds for the application. The completed application should be submitted as explained on
the form, with supporting evidence attached, to the Academic Manager.
