Semester 2 Enrolment Unit Code Unit Name 1. 2. 3. 4. IMPORTANT ENROLMENT INFORMATION When enrolling and allocating into units, students are responsible for ensuring that they are able to attend all scheduled teaching activities required to study each unit. Students who are unable to attend scheduled classes throughout the semester should amend their enrolment by the published census date (to avoid any penalty), and withdraw from the unit so they will not be disadvantaged by their inability to attend. If students choose to continue with the unit they accept full responsibility for this decision and undertake to make their own arrangements to ensure they keep up to date with the unit. No alternative arrangements will be made by the Faculty. Note: The Faculty of Business and Economics does not permit students to add units after the end of teaching week 2 of the relevant semester. - 10 - Timetable (Allocate+) Allocate+ is the online system Business and Economics students use to allocate themselves into lectures, tutorials and laboratories. Allocate+ provides you with a personalised, clash-free timetable and includes you on the official class list. Business and Economics students studying via the following are not required to use Allocate+: Off-campus Learning (Distance Education) Flexible Learning On-Line Open Learning If you are studying a combination of units on and off campus, you are required to allocate into your on campus unit(s) only. Important Enrolment Information When enrolling and allocating into units, students are responsible for ensuring that they are able to attend all scheduled teaching activities required to study each unit. Students who are unable to attend scheduled classes throughout the semester should amend their enrolment, by the published census date (to avoid any penalty), and withdraw from the unit so they will not be disadvantaged by their inability to attend. If students choose to continue with the unit they accept full responsibility for this decision and undertake to make their own arrangements to ensure they keep up to date with the unit. No alternative arrangements will be made by the Faculty. Change your enrolled units Allocate+ allocates you into the teaching activities for a unit you are enrolled in. To enrol in a new unit or change an enrolled unit, access WES (Web Enrolment System) (http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/enrolments/wes/wes.html). After you enrol in units or change your units, you are required to access Allocate+ and timetable into your newly enrolled units. Newly enrolled units will displayed up to 48 hours after initial enrolment or variation when you re-access Allocate+. Activity groups Each unit can comprise a number of activity groups (ie. lectures, tutorials and laboratories), and you are required to allocate into each activity for that unit. Auto allocate In instances where only one class time is available, Allocate+ will automatically allocate students into classes where there is no choice to be made. In the case where, for example, there is only one lecture time but a choice of three tutorials, you will be automatically allocated into the lecture but you will be required to allocate yourself into a tutorial. Allocation Adjustment Mode DBA, Graduate, Honours and MBA students will be using Allocation Adjustment Mode only. Allocation Adjustment Mode allows you to allocate directly into any class as long as you are enrolled in the unit and there is a place available. - 11 - Preference Entry Mode Undergraduate students at all campuses as well as honours/postgraduate students at Clayton campus will be using Preference Mode only. A unit may consist of a number of activity groups, ie. lectures, tutorials, etc. You are required to enter up to six time preferences for each activity group in each unit (if six preferences are available). If not, you must enter as many as are available. The one exception is if only one activity is offered students will be auto allocated (see auto allocate above). Access is easy Allocate+ runs on the World Wide Web and can therefore be accessed from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection and a PC with Netscape version 4 (or later) or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 (or later). You may use the computers in the computer labs within the University as long as you have your AuthCate username and password. Please read this information carefully, and ensure that you carry out the steps required by the due dates. Failure to allocate for each unit will result in your personal timetable being incomplete. How to access Allocate+ 1. Log onto http://allocate.its.monash.edu.au/ 2. Click on Student Login. 3. Enter your AuthCate username and password. 4. Once logged in, your units will be listed on the left-hand side of the screen. You will only allocate for semester two. Click on each unit and enter your lecture, tutorial and laboratory preferences/allocations. 5. When you have finished, click the Show My Preferences/Show My Allocations button to view your preferences/allocations. 6. When complete, click Logout. It is particularly important to logout, to secure your preferences, if you are using a computer on campus. If you fail to logout your preferences could be changed by another person using that computer. Note: some lecture and tutorial times may change during the adjustment period. Department administrators will advise you if a unit you are enrolled in is changed or cancelled.

Blackboard Blackboard allows you access to online study-related resources related to the units you are enrolled in at Monash. Resources and features include: Unit outline and lecture notes available for Online discussion groups download Grades Important announcements Calendar of key dates for the semester Quizzes and assessment Uploading of assignments Please explore the information on this site to help you make the most of Blackboard. New resources will be added often, and the latest support documents and announcements will be published here. As with any software, there are a number of technical considerations. You will need to pay particular attention to browser version and settings in order to avoid any problems with logging in and accessing materials. To login go to: https://my.monash.edu.au/muso/blackboard/login/ For computer set-up, login or any problems you are experiencing with blackboard contact MUSO support on: Website: http://www.monash.edu.au/muso/support/students/contact.html Telephone: 03 9903 1268 Email: email@example.com How do I get access to Blackboard? An account for units you are enrolled in is created automatically by central University systems and can be accessed through your my.monash portal – https://my.monash.edu.au/. Changes to student enrolments will be processed frequently; however they may take a few days to be reflected in Blackboard. If you are a student requiring special access to a subject (ie. not officially enrolled), you must ask your unit leader to forward a special access request to MUSO support on your behalf. What happens to my access if I am sitting a deferred exam? A list of students is compiled at the end of each semester containing all students who will be sitting deferred exams. If you are one of these students, you will retain MUSO access until you have sat your deferred exam(s). Note: Not all units have a Blackboard account, check with your lecturer or unit leader. - 13 - Applying for Credit What is Credit? Credit is granted to a student towards their current degree for PREVIOUS studies they have successfully completed at an institution such as TAFE, a university, or an accredited college. The credit granted may be in the form of: Specific credit, exempting the student from a unit within the degree; Non-specific credit, exempting the student from an elective within the degree. How can I apply? All local undergraduate students can apply for credit after they have been offered a place in a Faculty course. Students seeking credit transfer should complete the Credit application form, which will be available from the information desk on enrolment day, or download the form from our website at http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/service-centre/forms/ and bring a completed form with you on enrolment day. Please refer to the following website for submission closing dates when applying for credit http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/service-centre/forms/closing-dates.html What do I include in my application? The following information should accompany all applications for credit: An original or legally certified copy of your academic results (this is sometimes known as an academic transcript or statement of results). A copy of a detailed course structure, this will provide details of the duration of the course, the number of units to be studied each semester to complete the course, the grading system used. A copy of the syllabus for the units you have studied, which should be from the year the unit was studied (this is sometimes known as a subject/course guide or unit guide, outline or handout). Each syllabus should include a breakdown of topics covered; the number of contact hours; a breakdown of the assessment criteria; a list of recommended textbooks and other references. A handbook subject synopsis is not acceptable. Students who are applying for credit for studies completed at Monash University (eg Enhancement Studies) will generally not need to attach any of the above information to their applications as administrators have access to this information. How many credits will I be entitled to? The number of credits you are entitled to depends on your previous study and the course for which you have been made an offer. The "In2Monash" Credit Advisor will assist you in making a formal credit application. The credit advisor checks whether your previous studies will earn you a credit in a Monash Business and Economics course and provides a personalised course map showing your units and electives. It takes about 4 minutes to complete the 4 steps. The advice given by "In2Monash" is not a formal assessment. You must still submit a formal application for Credit. "In2Monash" and the Credit Advisor is available online at: http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/study/in2monash/ - 14 - Results Dates of results publication can be found in your Monash University 2010 diary. Please find below a guideline to what the results refer to: Grade Mark Definition HD 80-100 High Distinction D 70-79 Distinction C 60-69 Credit P 50-59 Pass N 49 and below Fail WH N/A Withheld – Your grade has been withheld by the lecturer due to a wide range of reasons. DEF N/A Deferred – If you applied for special consideration, the lecturer may have granted you another chance to sit an examination. In this case, the grade DEF will appear on your record. WD 0 Withdrawn – Students who withdraw or discontinue from a unit after the relevant semester census date will have the grade WD recorded on their academic transcript. WN 0 Withdrawn Fail – Students who withdraw after Monday of Week 10 in a standard semester will have the grade WN recorded on their academic transcript. WI 0 Withdrawn Incomplete – Students who are unable to undertake or complete all assessment for a unit due to extreme circumstances beyond their control occurring or having effect after the commencement of the Withdrawn Fail period. - 15 - Intermission Intermission is available to students who wish to apply to take a period of leave from their studies. If you are experiencing difficulties with your studies or you wish to take time off from study for any reason, you can apply for Intermission (leave of absence) for up to a maximum of one academic year at any one time. When granting leave the Faculty reserves students a place in their course. The total period of approved leave is counted in the time limit for completion of the course (ten years). If you do not re-enrol or intermit your course, your enrolment will be considered lapsed. Studies undertaken elsewhere during the period of Intermission will not be credited to your course. If you are on a conditional enrolment you may be unable to seek Intermission or, if approved, your condition will be applied to your enrolment upon return. Domestic students can apply for Intermission via WES. International students will be referred to their Student Services Office on their home campus or you can download the Application for Intermission form from: http://www.adm.monash.edu.au/service-centre/forms/. Under the ESOS Act, intermission for international students on a student visa can only be approved on grounds of compassionate or compelling reasons e.g. genuine illness. See visa conditions for international students: http://www.monash.edu.au/international/courses/visa/information/ Students who have been granted an intermission are normally expected to leave Australia within 28 days of the approval to intermit. Students are required to seek advice about the possible implications to their student visa from the Health, Wellbeing and Development Student Advice office http://www.hub.monash.edu.au office on their campus BEFORE departing Australia. Please note: If you are on intermission for Semester 1 only, you are required to enrol in units for Semester 2. If you wish to extend your intermission, you must re-apply; failure to reapply for intermission will result in you losing your place in your course. If you are returning to study after a period of Intermission (leave of absence) you need to amend your enrolment via WES. Course Discontinuation Most students can discontinue their course enrolment via WES. Others, who wish to withdraw from all units and end their course enrolment, must complete and lodge an Enrolment Amendment Form indicating a 'total discontinuation from course'. Enrolment Amendment Forms are available from the University Student Services Office on any campus. Alternatively, you may submit notification of your discontinuation in writing, addressed to the University Student Services Office on your home campus. NOTE: Please check the deadlines for submitting forms as discontinuation of a course has implications for the refund of fees. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: Monash is legally obliged to report your course discontinuation to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) and this could result in the cancellation of your student visa. Students should seek advice from the Health, Wellbeing and Development Student Advice office (http://www.hub.monash.edu.au) on your campus regarding the possible visa impacts BEFORE formally discontinuing from the University. - 16 - Special Consideration What is Special Consideration? The Faculty of Business and Economics understands that life has its ups and downs. Chances are during the course of your degree you experience something that hampers your ability to study at your best. If so, you can apply for Special Consideration. On what basis can I apply for Special Consideration?

Students should lodge applications for special consideration together with the appropriate documentation and evidence, with the relevant office, no later than two working days after their last scheduled examination, or for other assessment tasks, within two working days of the submission deadline. THE FACULTY IS UNABLE TO ACCEPT LATE APPLICATIONS. What is a deferred examination? A deferred examination is the only outcome from a successful end of semester request for special consideration. Students who complete the final examination/assessment task will not be eligible for special consideration. The Official University period for the sitting of deferred exams is around the middle of January for Semester 2 units and the middle of August for Semester 1 units. - 17 - Grievance The university has formal grievance or appeal procedures in the areas of exclusion, discipline and sex-based harassment that are separate from the academic and administrative grievance process. Complaints from students in relation to academic and administrative matters are managed within the framework of the University Academic and Administrative Complaints and Grievances Policy. The dean's nominee charged with dealing with such matters is the Faculty of Business and Economics student grievance officer. The student grievance officer may be contacted for advice or as a facilitator to resolve issues of concern at: Undergraduate grievances: email@example.com Graduate grievances: firstname.lastname@example.com Further information on grievance policy and procedure can be found at: http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/student/grievance-information.html Equity The Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics has appointed a number of staff to act as student equity officers.

What happens if I do not respond? Failure to respond will result in automatic exclusion from your degree and/or the faculty.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez was re-elected in a landslide Sunday, winning with the widest victory margin in the country's history as voters were mobilised by popular programmes that spread the wealth of a booming economy.
Ms. Fernandez had 53 percent of the votes after 24 percent of polling stations had been tallied nationwide, while her nearest challenger got just 17 percent. Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo predicted the president's vote share would rise, saying very few of the ballots in her party's stronghold of Buenos Aires province, the country's largest, had been counted.
Thousands of the populist leader's supporters crowded into the capital's historic Plaza de Mayo in a jubilant, flag-waving celebration.
Ms. Fernandez is Latin America's first woman to be re-elected as president, but the victory was personally bittersweet the first without her husband and predecessor, Nestor Kirchner, who died of a heart attack last Oct. 27.
Her voice almost broke as she spoke about their shared legacy with a mixture of pride and sorrow after voting in his hometown, the remote Patagonian city of Rio Gallegos. "In this world where they have criticized us so forcefully, all this makes me feel very proud, that we're on the right track," Fernandez said.
Ms. Fernandez appeared to have won a larger share of votes than any president since Argentina's democracy was restored in 1983, when Raul Alfonsin was elected with 52 percent. Her margin over Gov. Hermes Binner and five other candidates was wider even than the 1973 victory margin of her strongman hero, Juan Domingo Peron.
Her political coalition also hoped to regain enough seats in Congress to form new alliances and regain the control it lost in 2009. At play were 130 seats in the lower house and 24 in the Senate.
Ms. Fernandez suffered high negative ratings early in her presidency, but she soared in popularity as a widow by softening her usually combative tone and proving her ability to command loyalty or respect from an unruly political elite.
Most voters polled beforehand said they wanted government stability to keep their financial situations improving in what has been one of Argentina's longest spells of economic growth in history.
Ms. Fernandez, 58, chose her youthful, guitar-playing, long-haired economy minister, Amado Boudou, as her running mate. Together, the pair championed Argentina's approach to the global financial crisis increase government spending rather than impose austerity measures, and force investors in foreign debt to suffer before ordinary citizens.
Argentina has been closed off from most international lending since declaring its world-record debt default in 2001, but has been able to sustain booming growth ever since.
The country faces tough challenges in 2012- Its commodities exports are vulnerable to a global recession, and economic growth is forecast to slow sharply in the coming year. Declining revenues will make it harder to raise incomes to keep up with inflation. Argentina's central bank is under pressure to spend reserves to maintain the peso's value against the dollar, while also guarding against currency shocks that could threaten Argentina's all—important trade with Brazil.
Boudou could now win attention as a potential successor to Fernandez, but navigating these storms will require much skill and good fortune.
Opposition candidates blamed Ms. Fernandez for rising inflation and increasing crime and accused her of politically manipulating economic data and trying to use government power to quell media criticism.
Former President Eduardo Duhalde, who fell from front-running rival to near-last in the polls, said in a dour closing speech that "the country is dancing on the Titanic," failing to prepare Argentina for another global economic crisis.
But economist Mark Weisbrot said Argentina is in far better shape than most countries in the region to face such problems.
U.S. President Barack "Obama could take a lesson from this," said Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington. "It's an old—fashioned message of democracy. You deliver what you promise and people vote for you. It's kind of forgotten here in the U.S."
The exit polls said Binner, 68, a doctor and governor of Santa Fe province was followed by Ricardo Alfonsin, 59, a lawyer and congressional deputy with the traditional Radical Civic Union party and son of the former president, in third place; Alberto Rodriguez Saa, 52, an attorney and governor of San Luis province whose brother Adolfo was president for a week, in fourth; and Duhalde, who preceded Kirchner as president, in fifth. Leftist former lawmaker Jorge Altamira, 69, and Elisa Carrio 54, a congresswoman who came in second behind Ms. Fernandez four years ago, trailed the rest.
When Fernandez is inaugurated Dec. 10, her Front for Victory coalition will become the first political bloc to begin a third consecutive presidential term since 1928, when President Hipolito Yrigoyen of the Radical Civic Union took office, only to be toppled by a military coup two years later, said Leandro Morganfield, a historian at the University of Buenos Aires.
Voting is obligatory in Argentina, and nearly 29 million citizens among the 40-million population were registered.
"I've been a political activist my whole life, but I haven't always been able to vote," Ms. Fernandez said, referring to the 1966—1973 and 1976—1983 dictatorships, which tried and failed to eliminate Peronism as an electoral force. "To be able to vote freely in the Argentine republic is an achievement."

I don't know what it is about these pictures of number one pick Anthony Davis and some other NBA rookies, but they seem different than most pictures. They're fine, I'm not belittling the photographer or the players but there is just something different about them and it's kind of driving me crazy. Maybe it's the way they're filtered and have this old-timey look to them. Kyle Singler's pose isn't helping either.
Either way, here you get not only Davis, but guys like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Fab Melo and Jae Crowder. The guys gathered to get their first pics in uniform and some of the shots will end up being their basketball cards. Early bets on who might be the Rookie of the Year? Easy to say Davis but I'm thinking Kidd-Gilchrist might put in some serious work with the Bobcats.
Before you know it, we'll be getting ready for the Heat and Lakers in the Finals.

CHENNAI: With transplantation of samba crops in delta districts almost over, farmers are expecting a better yield this year.
Efficient regulation of floodwaters from the Mettur dam has helped minimise crop damage, say officials.
The farmers had feared that the continuous rain, coupled with the heavy discharge from the dam, would hit standing crop. But, by diverting most of the floodwaters into the Coleroon and releasing just 15,000-20,000 cusecs into the Cauvery, this was pre-empted.
Water release
Normally, in the delta districts, 2.074 lakh hectares are brought under kuruvai and 5.552 lakh hectares under samba, including 1.770 lakh hectares under thaladi (late samba). This year, only 56,000 hectares could be brought under kuruvai owing to non-release of water from the Mettur dam.
Later, thanks to the timely water release, the farmers raised samba nurseries.
In Thanjavur district, transplantation is over in 90 per cent of the area, except in tail-end areas such as Peravurani. Usually, 1.005 lakh hectares are brought under samba. This year, thanks to the water release, 1.258 lakh hectares were covered. An official said there were no reports of pest attack.
The administration had adequate stock of pesticides. The kuruvai harvest was over. The average yield was five tonnes a hectare.
In Nagapattinam district, one lakh hectares were brought under samba, as against the normal 1.2 lakh hectares.
Direct sowing was adopted in 50,000 hectares and conventional method in the rest. Transplantation was on in 10,000 hectares. Another 23,000 hectares, where kuruvai could not be raised, would be brought under samba.
A majority of farmers had gone in for short-term crop, which would be harvested, if the rain gods obliged, in the coming weeks.
Kuruvai yield
As for kuruvai, an Agriculture Department official said the average yield was 4.4 tonnes a hectare. While some farmers reaped 6 tonnes, in the tail-end areas, the yield was less than two tonnes. Samba transplantation would be completed in a week in Tiruvarur district.
The administration planned to bring 1.43 lakh hectares under samba this year, including 8,500 hectares under thaladi. Direct sowing was done on 22,440 hectares.
In the other delta taluks of Tiruchi, Pudukottai, Cuddalore, Karur, Perambalur and Pudukottai, 90,000 hectares would be brought under cultivation.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced on Wednesday that BIG EAST Associate Commissioner for Sports Media Relations John Paquette will be presented with the Bill Esposito Backbone Award at the organization's convention in June.
The award is presented to a CoSIDA member displaying sound judgment and unusual courage in taking a stand in intercollegiate athletics contrary to public opinion and sentiment, or who displays sound judgment and unusual courage in guiding their institution through difficult public relations situations.
According to the CoSIDA release, Paquette has "provided credibility and stability in an otherwise fluid landscape."
Paquette joined the BIG EAST in 1990 as Mike Tranghese's first hire as commissioner. He joined the BIG EAST after four years at Seton Hall. He was the men's basketball media relations contact when the Pirates made their Final Four run in 1989.
Paquette was previously honored by CoSIDA in 2007 with the Arch Ward Award for meritorious service in college sports media relations. Other honors during his career include the Katha Quinn Award from the United States Basketball Writers Association for outstanding media service in 2009 and the 2013 Distinguished Service Award from the New York Metropolitan Basketball Writers.
Paquette will be honored during the CoSIDA Convention June 8-11 at the World Marriott Center in Orlando, Fla.
