There is a distinct possibility that my essay questions (for both assessment #1 and assessment #2)
do not appeal to you. As a result – and given that the scope of the course is broad – I am willing to
allow you to prepare your own essay. Students who wish to prepare their own essay question must
meet with me. You will need to draft your essay question and I will need to review and approve it.
I would also ask that you provide me with a list of scholarly sources you plan to consult so that we
can determine if there is an adequate amount of material to support your research.
In addition, you are welcome to re-word the questions I have prepared (see above). I will, however,
need to approve your revisions to my essay questions.
Assessment #3: Seminar Participation
The seminar participation grades are a function of preparation for class, listening to the
contributions of one’s peers, and responding to – and building on – comments made by others.
Students are expected to answer the weekly discussion questions (by contributing to the seminar
discussions) and offer informed opinions in class based on a careful reading of the assigned journal
articles and industry publications. To practice critical and creative thinking, one must take the risk
of sharing one’s views and be prepared to receive, and respond to, feedback from others regarding
the quality of your ideas. After the mid-trimester break, I will provide students with a provisional
tutorial participation grade. This grade is the one they would receive if the course were to end after
six weeks. The provisional grades are intended to provide students with some feedback about their
performance in tutorial. Guidelines for the evaluation of seminar participation will be
distributed in the first class.
9
Grading Guidelines
The following broad indicative characterisations of grade will apply in grading assignments and the

Other Matters Related to Assessment
The Assessment Handbook will apply to all VUW courses. See
http://www.victoria.ac.nz/documents/policy/staff-policy/assessment-handbook.pdf.
The essays you write for this course will address the first three course learning objectives for TOUR
401. Seminar participation addresses the course’s four course learning objectives (see page 2 of the
course outline).
Submitting Assignments
Students must prepare two copies of each essay and keep the second copy for their own reference.
Students should keep an electronic copy of their essays archived in case the original goes missing.
Failure to do so will jeopardise any claim by you that your work was submitted in the rare cases
where your work goes astray. Please submit your essays to Luisa Acheson or one of the staff
members at the School of Management’s reception desk (RH 1022).
Mandatory Course Requirements
In addition to obtaining an overall course mark of 50 or better, students must
a. attend all classes, and
b. submit all assignments within the allowable timeframe (see the “penalties” section below)
Students who fail to satisfy the mandatory requirements for this course but who obtain 50% or more
overall, will be awarded a “K” grade. Standard fail grades (D or E) will be awarded when the
student’s overall course mark falls below the minimum pass mark, regardless of whether the
mandatory course requirements have been satisfied or not.
If you cannot complete an assignment or sit a test or examination, refer to
www.victoria.ac.nz/home/study/exams-and-assessments/aegrotat
Penalties for Lateness & Excessive Length of Assignments
In fairness to other students, work submitted after any deadline will incur a penalty for lateness.
(i) The Tourism Management Group has implemented a standardized late penalty for
all tourism courses. Students who submit late assignments will be penalized at a
10
rate of 5% per day (including weekends). Saturdays, Sundays and public
holidays will be included when counting the number of days late. Assignments
received more than 7 days after the due date will not be accepted and the student
will automatically fail the Mandatory Course Requirements.
(ii) Extensions will only be granted under special circumstances. Students who wish to
apply for an extension must contact the course coordinator before the due date.
Students who apply for an extension due to illness must obtain a medical
certificate. Medical certificates must specify that the student is “unfit to study”.
Medical certificates must also indicate the duration of the illness. Please take note:
computer problems are not a case for extension. Please submit late assignments to
the School of Management’s reception desk (RH 1022) or the course coordinator
(Adam Weaver).
(iii) Course outlines provide a signal to students of forthcoming workload and dates of
submission, and thus student study plans should take account of course
requirements across all courses. Extensions to submission deadlines for any
assigned work will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.
(iv) Students who are unable to comply with any of the mandatory requirements should
make a written application for an extension to the due date for submission of
assigned work or for waiver of a penalty, in advance, to a course coordinator,
providing documentary evidence of the reasons of their circumstances.
All such applications must be made before the deadline and be accompanied by
documentary evidence, e.g. a medical certificate, or counsellor’s report clearly
stating the degree of impairment, and the dates the illness or event prevented you
from undertaking your academic studies. This can be applied retrospectively.
In the event of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances (e.g. serious illness, family bereavement or
other exceptional events), that precludes an application in advance, students should make contact
with the course coordinator as soon as possible, and make application for waiver of a penalty as
soon as practicable.
Policy on Re-Marking Assignments
Every attempt is made to ensure that the marking of assignments is consistent and fair to students.
If you have a question about your grade, first talk to the course coordinator. As per Victoria
Business School policy, students may ask for their written work to be re-marked. Requests for a remark
must be made within 14 days after the grades are made available. Please submit the request to
the course coordinator (Adam Weaver). Allow up to 5 working days for re-marks to be completed.
Class Representative
A class representative will be elected for the 400-level tourism management courses. This
representative provides a communication channel to liaise with the course coordinator on behalf of
students.
Communication of Additional Information
Additional information about the course will be communicated to students either in class or via email.

Note to Students
Your assessed work may also be used for quality assurance purposes, such as to assess the level of
achievement of learning objectives as required for accreditation and academic audit. The findings
may be used to inform changes aimed at improving the quality of VBS programmes. All material
used for such processes will be treated as confidential, and the outcome will not affect your grade
for the course.
