The grade for each course will be entered on the students transcript by a letter grade to show the academic standing of the student with the following meanings and values: -----------------------------------------------------------------GRADE MEANING POINT VALUE -----------------------------------------------------------------A Excellent 4.00 A- Almost Excellent 3.75 B+ Very Good 3.2 B Good 3.00 B- Fairly Good 2.75 C+ Fair 2.25 C Satisfactory 2.00 C- Minimum Satisfactory 1.75 D Poor 1.00 F Failure 0.00 R Course repeated later S Satisfactory U Unsatisfactory W Withdrawal with Permission WF Withdrawal with F 0 Withdrawal from course after time limit AUD Audit and non-credit I Incomplete, used in case a student fails to complete his/her assignment within the time limit or is absent from the examination with approval from the University due to exceptional reasons WP/IP Work in progress NR No Report TR Transferred Credits

2.3.2 Passing Grade The minimum grade required for Graduate Studies is B. Any required course in which a grade of B- or below is received must be repeated until a higher grade is received. All registered courses with their grades will be reflected on the transcript regardless of repeat of courses. Non-credit courses are graded S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory). 2.3.3 Audit -----------------------------------------------------------------Audit courses count towards the maximum credits allowed per trimester. For example, a student can take only two credit courses if he/she has also taken two audit courses during a regular trimester. To have an AU recorded on the transcript for a particular course, the student must have 80 % class attendance and take all examinations and assignments as required by the course instructor. Payment for audit courses is the same as other credit courses with the exception that and AU will be given in lieu of the normal grades. 2.3.4 Transfer of Credits -----------------------------------------------------------------Only grades ranging from A to B+ in graduate courses with similar course descriptions and credit hours as those of ABAC are transferable. Twelve credits can be considered for transfer. These transferred credits are not computed in determining the Cumulative GPA. The Dean or his authorized representative has the authority for approval of transfer of credits. After completion of 12 credit hours, MBA (Day or Evening) students may participate in the Exchange Program with universities in Europe or the United States that have student exchange agreement with Assumption University.

2.4 MBA STUDY TOUR


-----------------------------------------------------------------What is a study tour (overview)? A study tour is a travel experience with specific learning goals. The learning goals of each study tour vary, but are always spelled out in relation to global business overview necessary for all to-be MBA graduates. Study tours emphasize experiential learning and offer both group and self-directed activities that enable learners to explore new territories, cultures, and people. Study tours are designed to be both fun and educational. Our groups enjoy the local cuisine, socialize freely, and make use of the local recreational and cultural resources of the areas that we visit. However, study tours are NOT party trips. If you are looking for a typical package tour or summer beach party, youll do better to look elsewhere for your travel experience. We emphasize that: A study tour is an academic course involving traditional classroom learning and experiential learning in an international setting. Tours provide students and faculty first-hand opportunities to investigate other cultures, enhancing academic development.

Objectives - The International study tour program is designed for MBA students. It offers you - The ability to understand and analyze how businesses operate and create value in the selected site (i.e European) and global marketplace - Hands-on insight into the selected destinations (i.e European) corporate world through cases with real companies and business visits in the selected destinations - A solid knowledge of the business environment, including the institutions which regulate business practices and trade Pre-trip information You must search for pre-travel information, resources about the destinations. Preliminary information (overview of the destinations and nature of businesses) will be provided. While on the study tour, you must work with the educational and organizational leadership for the group in cooperation with the in-country professional tour guide/educator.

Creating a productive field-trip: A pathway towards becoming professional in international community.

-----------------------------------------------------------------Objectives A certain groups of MBA graduate students are entitled to attend field-trip upon completing the coursework. Field-trip therefore serves as an opportunity for the students to experience the business communities abroad. There are a few items in the culture of fieldtrip you need to understand 1. Arranged by a travel agency, the trip may resemble a usual leisure traveling in terms of routing and places to be visited. However, the trip is primarily designed to make sure the students will learn some important aspects of businesses and economy of the respective countries in the itinerary. Dont treat the trip with social tour group mentality. 2. Guide who accompanies each group, as well as the local guides to be provided, are selected to cater to the students with sufficient information necessary in facilitating the trip in accordance with the course objectives and the students needs to prosper in academic knowledge. 3. The field-trip is operated and conditioned to NONREFUNDABLE, NON-NEGOTIABLE policy.
24 Graduate School of Business 2012 Student Handbook

4. The field-trip is arranged for REGISTERED students only. No other person can accompany the students. 5. Since ABAC holds responsibility of the students safety and security throughout their journey, students are advised to follow the program strictly and not allowed to break their journey. Preparation To achieve the goal of field-trip, students need to prepare themselves not only on their traveling materials, but also on preliminary knowledge about history, geography, and cultural sensitivity of the countries to be visited. History History prevails anywhere you go, but Europe has more to tell you. World history of Europe contributes to most of what the international business communities have evolved to this date. Be mindful about discussion on European civilization; make sure you can figure out what it means by 14th century, Romantic Era, Industrial Revolution, or Congress of Vienna. Be prepared to hear names of great composers, monarchs, or political leaders, as well as important events from 18th century down to the conception of EU and the break of Soviet Union. Try to connect these legends or stories to the factors that brought about wealth to the business of Europe.

Arts and Architecture Art forms and architecture play a vital role in businesses of Europe, especially in advertisements and creation of business impact. Pay attention to the depth of the work and the influences that inspired such creation of arts. Give yourself an opportunity to ask questions, i.e. why this form failed, why the other forms superseded this one? Understanding of these elements help you shape your appreciation for socioeconomic lives of the countries being visited. Allow yourself to be endowed with this scenery; it is a part of creating your human capital, as well as social capital. Livelihood Dining at local eateries and socializing with people of each country add zest to your traveling. You will learn a lot from not only the culinary adventure, but the table manners and dining culture that form livelihood of European people. Be prepared for touring on foot, or walking; many places are accessible only through walking. Geography Even though your high-school geography information might have faded from your memory, this field trip will help to bring it back, and you would find that names of rivers, mountains or even formation of physical geography come alive again. Do welcome this information. Quiz among yourselves about the climate and elevation of the lands, or even the kind of trees or flowers. Geography also has influence on peoples culture and way of life. Study some information prior to touring will help you appreciate the countryside and the geography of the places. Photography In the time when Face-book dominates our daily life, you cant help but take as many pictures as you want during the trip. Digital camera no longer is a mere recorder of event or place; it entertains us. Nevertheless, how many of you realize that the more pictures you take, the less time you have to appreciate things around you. Taking pictures is fun, and it brings social harmony. While you want the pictures to speak for your good time, you should be able to remember where they are, too. You might not be proud if you cant figure out where (the hell) you took these pictures, or why did you visit them? So, balance your time well. Try to absorb the ambience of the place, listen to the guides explanation, observe and learn, then, take some pictures. At one time, an Ajarn took pictures of all ads she saw throughout the trip. That really helps strengthen her knowledge. Health Package tour makes you tired and wears you off quickly. Keep fit before the trip. When traveling, try to get enough sleepas much as 6 hours/night. Though

you might be able to sleep on the coach, you would not want to do so because you will miss the picturesque scenery of the routes. Dont stay up playing cards till dawn; dont roam around your friends room to show off your new LV bags for the whole night. You need to get up as early as 6 am everyday. We shall try to have each days itinerary end by 8 pm, at which point you may be able to visit a modest fitness room of the respective hotels. Apart from health, you must realize that public washroom en route or at some places might be limited. Your three-hour-trip on coach, especially in the morning, might experience a bathroom demand. Usually the coach is scheduled to make a stop after every two or three hours at gas station. So, prepare yourself well in advance before starting the ride. Coach in general has no en-suite washroom in the coach. Punctuality MBA students need no lecture on this, but it appears that delay of Thai tourists is a usual phenomenon that all European coach drivers can barely put up with. Coach drivers in Europe have to abide by a strict regulation; they cant drive beyond 9 hours a day. If they have to start the new day at 8 am, the coach and the driver need to stop working 12 hours before. Being late at any stops might lead to further delay of the whole trip. Generally coach will never risk their career by compromising with the tourists (customers) request or with any tea-money, because revoking of license from failing to observe the rules means a lot more to them. Besides, you are carrying ABAC image with you. English proficiency Local guides will certainly deliver their information in English, and you must put every effort to understand. As students of an international university, you should feel comfortable in using English as medium language and lodging no complaint if some words are too new to you. Your English should show its progress, now that you have been in the institute for over one year. Dress and Packing Dress for photographing seems to be obvious at any trip. While you enjoy displaying your variety of wardrobe, you must realize that packing and unpacking are the routine of every night. It will not be fun to travel with fat luggage. Leave some rooms for the items you plan to buy. Try to diversify a dual, or triple, use of one outfit, so that you wont run into the problem of overloading at the final destination. European airports apply only SINGLE STANDARD for the luggage weight. No one ever succeeds in begging the airlines staff.

Graduate School of Business 2012 Student Handbook 25

Tax Claim and Documents Tax claim is widely practiced in Europe. Be sure to ask for the tax form upon your shopping and process your claim prior to departure. At some department stores, queue for tax claimers is relatively long and the work might cause you to be late. Prepare at least 20 minutes for this process, otherwise you can execute this claim at the airport. Upon your return at Suvarnabhumi Airport, make sure you hide, and pack appropriately, all the branded shopping bags and all newly shopped items. Last May, Custom Department charged Baht 50,000 on the overall new LV bags the MBA students bought from Paris. We dont want to see this incident repeat. Years from now Some might be able to visit Europe again, other might find it rare to travel. Whichever situation you might encounter, you are becoming now professionals of international business community. Imagine yourself sitting with your clients in the future, if asked at the dinner table about Europe trip, you surely dont want to appear stumble and say I cant barely remember what I saw. Social capital counts from your observation of the arts and culture, interaction with peoples livelihood, and how businesses are conducted there.

Bon Voyage and have a productive trip.

4.11 University Policy Regarding Cheating

Graduate School of Business 2012 Student Handbook 51

a) Successful or a clear case of cheating (with evidence) b) Unsuccessful cheating c) An attempt to cheat 1. Successful cheating occurs when a student begins using documents relevant to the exam being taken or looks at, or copies the whole or part of an answer paper of other student(s) or specifically prepared materials for examination purpose. A proctor captures such an action or such a student is caught at hand with the copied and/or the copying answer papers, or without supporting materials or documents. If it is evident to the committee that such a student committed cheating, the penalty in this case is the expulsion from the MBA program. 2. An unsuccessful case of cheating occurs when a student takes, inside or outside the examination hall, certain documents or materials prohibited and shows the intention or the potential to exploit such materials and/or documents. At the time such an action is committed, a proctor captures or is able to identify this behavior. If it is undoubtedly evident to the committee that such a student has no reason why he/she needs to gain access to or hold/custody to such material and/or a document at the time, the penalty is an F failure in that particular course taken at the time, and a one-trimester suspension from enrolment.

3. An attempt to cheat occurs when a student possesses certain documents or materials prohibited and brings these into the examination room, although, he/she has not yet made use of such material and/or a document, the proctor finds these in the possession of that student. If there is no evidence to advocate why he/she had to carry with him/her such items into the examination hall, or, if he/she cannot defend such behavior to the committee members, the penalty is an F failure for that course, without suspension in the subsequent trimesters enrolment. The Disciplinary Committee consists of: The lecturer of the Course (in which the student cheated) Members of the Administrative Committee
