5. Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Teaching & Learning
An ultimate goal for teaching and learning is to cultivate the capability of students as independent learners so they will be able to learn during their future studies and career. Education discourses indicate that the deep approach student learning is most desirable as it involves students in the transformation and restructuring of their knowledge to enable them to understand and interpret the materials and to view it from more than one perspective (Chalmers and Fuller 1996:7). Although the traditional teaching pattern with a mixture of lecture, tutorial and laboratory sessions are used for delivery of courses, guided discussions, case studies, peer group learning, critique and self-reflection activities will be incorporated in teaching the courses as seen appropriate by the instructors. All programmes offered by CCCU adopt the Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) approaches. As a programme emphasizing operations students not only are expected to acquire the necessary knowledge for different relevant operations, learning how to analyse different situations and come up with reasonable decisions and practices are also essential. To nurture a work attitude that is responsible, reliable and cooperative always remains as another major goal of the programme. With outcome based teaching and learning (OBTL) there is no norm referencing of the results of each course. Providing you meet the criteria set by the course examiner for achieving a particular grade for a particular piece of assessment, you will receive that grade. This means that if all students in a class meet the stated criteria for an A+ grade for the course; they will all get an A+ grade. It is therefore to your mutual advantage to assist each other not by copying from each other (!!!), but by helping your fellow student understand the course materials so that they can complete their assignments themselves. This is peer learning and it is considered to be one of the most effective learning mechanisms.

Assessment and Academic Honesty

Students progress is assessed by a combination of formal examinations at specified times in the year, together with periodic assessments of coursework, laboratory exercises and project work. The assessment of students performance is an appraisal of the extent to which students are attaining or have attained the objectives of the programme. The Assessment Panel shall consider students performance in all components of the assessment for those courses in the programme.

AScES Handbook 19

Please read the Academic Regulations of AD Programme from the CCCU website (http://www.cityu.edu.hk/cccu/cs_rules_regulation.htm) concerning assessment and note the regulations regarding appeals, extenuating circumstances, and application deadline for a review of the decision of the Assessment Panel. Academic honesty is your responsibility. CCCU advise you that: You must pursue your studies with academic honesty, which is central to the conduct of academic work. You are expected to present your own work, give proper acknowledgement of other's work, and honestly report findings obtained. For the source of this quotation and more information, please visit: http://www.cityu.edu.hk/cccu/rules_acad_honesty_20100726.pdf

Grade, Grade Point, and Award

Each course you complete is given a letter grade. From best to worst, the grades are A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, and F. Each grade is also converted into a grade point. The conversion is A+ = 4.3, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, .., C- = 1.7, D = 1, F = 0. Grade F indicates failure in a course and a student failing a course will have to re-take it. Students with grade D in a course are recommended to re-take it with a hope of achieving a better result. After re-taking a grade D or F course, the new grade will replace the original grade. Under the regulations of the University, students can only attempt a course for not more than three times and are only allowed to re-take courses with grade D or below. Grade I means that the assessment in a particular course is incomplete due to extenuating circumstances (e.g. sickness) that have prevented a student from completing required work or attending an examination. An I grade can also be assigned by the Assessment Panel at its discretion to allow some students the chance to improve their course grades. Where an I grade is assigned, the Panel will approve a schedule for the completion of work or a supplementary examination. In a semester if you have taken m courses, your Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the average of the grade point of those m courses:

SGPA =

i 1

(Gi Ui)
m i 1

Ui

where Gi is the grade point of the ith course and Ui is the number of credit units of the ith course.

If you attend classes, complete tests and assignments, it is very unlikely you will fail. Students who fail do so because they do not attend classes or attend tests or complete assignments. Failure typically occurs for one of the following two reasons: 1. Too much part-time work and/or entertainment.
AScES Handbook 20

2. Personal problems involving family and relationships. If this happens to you, please
approach us immediately. We can help you make appointments with the Universitys personal counselors for further assistance.

After a student has completed all the required courses for the programme a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated, indicating the average GPA of all the courses the student has taken (except Pass-and-Fail courses). Suppose the student has taken n courses: CGPA =

i 1

(Gi Ui)
n i 1

Ui

A student passing all the required courses in the progragmme will be awarded the Associate degree by the University provided that his/her CGPA is 1.7 or above. It is possible for a student with an exceptionally good CGPA to be awarded graduation with Credit or with Distinction. If your CGPA falls below 1.7 in any semester, your academic status will be marked as Academic Warning or Probation, depending on how low your CGPA is. An Academic Advisor will then be appointed to discuss with you the reason for your poor performance and to give you advice. Students on Probation must contact their Programme Leader for academic advice as soon as possible after receiving the letter informing them of their probation status. Students who are unable to get out of Probation after two semesters or fail a course three times are typically recommended for Termination. If your studies are terminated, you will not be able to apply for another programme of study at CCCU for a period of one year. Alternatively, a letter explaining extenuating circumstances must be sent to the Chairman of the CCCU Examination Board, via the Programme Leader, well before the Board meeting for consideration.

Maximum Period of Study

Students shall complete all programme requirements (i.e. 63 credits) within 4 years, inclusive of programme transfer and any periods of leave of absence and suspension of studies. Requests for extension of study beyond the maximum study period will not be granted. Students who cannot complete all programme requirements for graduation within the maximum study period will be required to discontinue their studies and is not allowed readmission to the same programme. If a student applies for programme transfer involving a change of study mode, the new maximum period of study will be calculated on a pro-rata basis as determined by CCCU.

AScES Handbook 21

Students who have accumulated several failures, especially repeated failures, will need to extend their programme of study beyond two years. They need to be cautious that some courses might not be available in future and that they risk not being able to complete the programme if they continue to accumulate failures. Also, they will need some advice as to when to approach the Programme Leader for advice on completing the programme.

6. Student Development
Communication Channels
It is vitally important for students to monitor any communication channel relating to academic matters and students activities. The main channels for promulgating information to students are 1. E-mail provided by CityU/CCCU.
(Important Note: Please include in your email messages your full name, student ID number, programme of study, and, if the matter relates to a particular course, include the course code as well. It is difficult and time consuming for a staff member to identify a student if the only clue is the email alias. Your inquiry will be dealt with much faster if you provide these details.)

If a staff member is unable to hold a lecture or class on a particular day due, for example, to illness, email and Blackboard is usually the fastest way of informing students. During your programme of study, you may encounter situations where you need advice, or you may even wish to complain about a particular situation. In general, if the matter relates to your academic studies, the following steps are recommended 1. Consult the Course Examiner 2. Consult the Member(s) of the Programme Management Team (or your Academic Advisor) 3. Consult the Programme Leader 4. Consult the Head of Division 5. Consult the VP (Academic) of CCCU At each step, if your problem is not dealt with to your satisfaction move to the next step. If you prefer to consult a higher authority, it is recommended that you consider either the Programme Leader or the Head of Division first. You may also follow the Complaints Procedure for CCCU Students and lodge your complaint in accordance with procedures promulgated on CCCUs website at www.cityu.edu.hk/cccu > Current Students > Complaints. On the other hand, if you need help with a personal matter or problem, your academic advisor or members of the programme management team can help by arranging an appointment with one of the Universitys professional Personal Counselors.

The CAIO send by email a monthly calendar to all students and staff informing of the various events scheduled for the following month. These events include seminars by specific employers in Hong Kong and job interview training workshops. It is very difficult to find this kind of training once you have completed your studies, so take full advantage of these opportunities while you are still our students.

Student Mentoring Scheme (SMS) The SMS aims to help the first-year students to adjust to the university learning environment and campus life. Senior students were engaged as their mentors to facilitate this process. Financial support for mentoring activities is also available for all associate degree students at CCCU. CCCU Student Development Services To provide for the particular needs of CCCU students, the Community College of City University also has its own Student Development Services (CCCU SDS) unit. CCCU encourages whole person development by organizing different competitions and scholarships/awards for students. Currently, CCCU provides the following scholarships and awards on an annual basis:
