Course Aims and Relationship to Other Courses

This course focuses on the application and further development of financial concepts first introduced in
FINS1613 Business Finance in the corporate finance setting. It applies finance theory for the purposes of
valuating businesses and understanding corporate financial transactions.
This course assumes at a minimum that students are well-versed in the topics covered in FINS1613.
Student Learning Outcomes

The Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are what you should be able to demonstrate by the end of this
course, if you participate fully in learning activities and successfully complete the assessment items.
CLOs also contribute to your achievement of the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs), which are
developed across the duration of a program for all coursework students in the Business School. More
information on PLOs is available under Policies and Support . PLOs are, in turn, directly linked to UNSW

graduate capabilities and the aspiration to develop “globally focussed graduates who are rigorous
scholars, capable of leadership and professional practice in an international community”.
The following table shows how the CLOs for this course relate to the overall PLOs and indicates where
each CLO and PLO is assessed:

3. Learning and Teaching Activities
Approach to Learning and Teaching in the Course
We seek to create an interesting, challenging, relevant and engaging education experience.
To help achieve this objective we have several teaching aims:

Create a climate of engagement, dialogue and ongoing feedback between students and lecturers
regarding the content, teaching strategies, learning experiences and outcomes;
Cater to a variety of learning preferences and abilities by providing a range of learning activities and
teaching methods;
Develop independent learning skills and create an environment that provides structure and guidance as
well as encouraging students to extend their learning;
Develop skills in collaboration and teamwork, which is directly relevant to the skills required of a
finance professional.
Learning Activities and Teaching Strategies
The Role of Lectures

The lectures build from the relevant core readings (in the textbook) to set out the main ideas, theories and
conceptual frameworks for the course. Lectures include interactive learning processes and will synthesize
materials from a range of sources, including your own prior knowledge and experiences. We expect you to
come to and be prepared for each lecture. This means you should have read and considered the relevant
chapter. From a time management perspective, this means you will need to allocate at least three hours
per week for basic reading. If you need any assistance in managing your time you will find the Business
School’s Education Development Unit (EDU) a useful resource.
The Role of Tutorials

The weekly tutorials provide you with an interactive environment in which to enhance your learning and
your enjoyment of the course. These tutorials include exercises and case study presentation and
discussions. By actively engaging in the tutorials, you will increase your confidence and competence in
technical, presentation and critical thinking skills. They also provide you with the opportunity to enhance
your interpersonal skills by interacting with others, working together in diverse groups, forging learning
networks, learning about other cultures and learning to understand values and opinions different from
your own.

4. Assessment
Formal Requirements
In order to pass this course, you must:

Assessment Summary
As a student at UNSW you are expected to display academic integrity in your work and interactions.
Where a student breaches the UNSW Student Code with respect to academic integrity, the University may
take disciplinary action under the Student Misconduct Procedure.
To assist you in understanding what academic integrity means, and how to ensure that you do comply
with the UNSW Student Code, it is strongly recommended that you complete the Working with Academic
Integrity module before submitting your first assessment task. It is a free, online self-paced Moodle
module that should take about one hour to complete.
You should complete the Working with Academic Integrity module before submitting any written
assessment by the due date. Non-compliance with the UNSW Student Code may result in disciplinary
action.
Tutorials in this course are 1 hour and 30 minutes long and held weekly (weeks 1-10). Tutorials are
composed of two major parts:
1. Group case study presentations and discussion
2. Assigned problem solving from textbook and/or other resources
Tutorial Contribution/Case Study (5%)

Tutorial sessions require students to discuss issues, and work through problems related to the lecture
material and course text. Tutors will assess their student’s (particularly students not assigned the case of
the week) performance based on their participation. Punctual attendance is necessary and does not
constitute a basis for passing this component. Students must be active and participative.

Report/Presentation/Discussion of Case studies (30%)
Students are required to form groups of 5-6 members to analyse, present and discuss a case study.
Groups are to be assigned and finalized by the tutor during week 2 tutorials. Two cases will be assigned to
each group: one for report writing, presentation and discussion; and one for reverse role playing and
discussion. The presenting group members play the role of investment banker/advisor or corporate
managers analysing and presenting their case to an audience such as the board of directors of the
company which is reverse-role played by another group. The presenting group is required to submit a
written report of no more than three pages in text (A4, 12-point fonts, double spaced format) to the tutor,
and to provide to the opposing group with a summary of key points in their presentation (and executive
summary). An aggregate mark of up to 30% of total course mark will be awarded based on case study
presentation (up to 15%) and submitted report (up to 15%).
Early Assessment Quiz (0%)

A quiz will be held online or during a tutorial session. The quiz will cover topics discussed in earlier
lectures. The sole purpose of this quiz is to provide students early feedback before the Census Date.
Mid-Session and Final Examinations (30%+35%)

The two examinations focus on evaluating students’ understanding of the main concepts covered in the
course. Both examinations may consist of multiple choice, short essay and problem-solving questions
that tests students’ knowledge of relevant theories and methodologies related to Corporate Finance. The
final exam is not comprehensive and will cover those topics not covered on the mid-session exam. The
mid-session exam will be held in-class in Week 7. The final examination will be held during the University
Exam Period.
Assignment Submission Procedure
Case Study Report and Executive Summary

The presenting group is required to submit a written report of no more than three pages in text (A4, 12-
point fonts, double spaced format). A hard copy of the case report is to be handed in after the
presentation to the tutor. A summary of key points in the presentation (and executive summary) is to be
provided to the group doing the reverse-role playing before the tutorial. A soft copy of the case reports will
be submitted by the tutors to Turnitin for plagiarism. Detailed requirements and assessment criteria for
the case presentation, report and discussion are available on Moodle.
Assessment Feedback
Feedback on student performance from formative and summative assessment tasks will be provided to
students in a timely manner. Assessment tasks completed within the teaching period of a course, other
than a final assessment, will be assessed and students provided with feedback, with or without a
provisional result, within 10 working days of submission, under normal circumstances. Feedback on
continuous assessment tasks (e.g. laboratory and studio-based, workplace-based, weekly quizzes) will be
provided prior to the midpoint of the course.
Special Consideration

You can apply for special consideration when illness or other circumstances beyond your control interfere
with your performance in a specific assessment task or tasks. Special Consideration is primarily intended
to provide you with an extra opportunity to demonstrate the level of performance of which you are
capable.
Please note the following:

1. Applications will not be accepted by teaching staff. The lecturer-in-charge/course coordinator will be
automatically notified when you lodge an online application for special consideration.
2. Decisions and recommendations are only made by lecturers-in-charge/course coordinators (or by the
Faculty Panel in the case of final exam special considerations), not by tutors.
3. Applying for special consideration does not automatically mean that you will be granted a
supplementary exam or other concession.
4. Special consideration requests do not allow the awarding of additional marks to students.
Further information on Business School policy and procedure, as well as supplementary exam dates for
the current term, can be found under “Special Consideration” on the Policies and Support page.
The School of Banking and Finance supports the concept to leave the course lecturer-in-charge
to stipulate a penalty of 0 to 10% of the percentage weight of the assessment component or part
thereof per day. Details of such penalties will be available on the course Moodle page.
Applications for extension are restricted to cases of serious illness, bereavement or
misadventure and students must provide documentary evidence. Decisions on such applications
will be based on policies that are consistent with the policies adopted by UNSW Business School
for such cases.
Protocol for Viewing Final Exam Scripts

The UNSW Business School has set a protocol under which students may view their final exam
script. Individual schools within the Faculty may also set up a local process for viewing final
exam scripts, so it is important that you check with your School. Further school specific
information may be included below.
Further to the Business School protocol for viewing final exam scripts:
1. A student must lodge a request to view his or her final exam script within 5 working days immediately
following the official release of overall course results. This request must be emailed to the School of
Banking and Finance at Email.
2. The School may fix a time at which all students wishing to see their exams will be permitted to do so.
The date for viewing all final exam scripts with the School of Banking and Finance is the 10th working
day after the official release of overall course results, and the School may fix a time for each course on
that day. The School may refuse to allow access to the exams at other times.
Protocol for Viewing Other Exam Scripts is the similar to that of viewing final exam scripts except
the working days are defined with reference to the release date of specific assessment result.
Quality Assurance
The Business School is actively monitoring student learning and quality of the student experience in all its
programs. A random selection of completed assessment tasks may be used for quality assurance, such
as to determine the extent to which program learning goals are being achieved. The information is
required for accreditation purposes, and aggregated findings will be used to inform changes aimed at
improving the quality of Business School programs. All material used for such processes will be treated
as confidential.

5. Course Resources
You will be able to obtain the latest course announcements and course material via Moodle. Lecture
slides and/or notes will be available for download by Friday of the week preceding the lecture. Students
are encouraged to read the corresponding reference material prior to lectures. Topic coverage in tutorials
lags the lectures by one week. Solutions to assigned problems will be posted after the tutorial coverage.
The website for this course is on Moodle.
The textbook for this course is:

Brigham and Daves, Intermediate Financial Management, 13th ed. South-Western. [12 or 11th
editions are usable but students are responsible for updating the differences in chapter numbers
and end of chapter problems. The course tutorials will focus extensively on the end of the
chapter problems.]
Other good and optional textbooks include:
Ross, Westerfield, Jordan, Corporate Finance, McGraw-Hill Irwin [a different style textbook];
Brealey, Myers, Allen, Corporate Finance. McGraw-Hill Irwin [a classic, revised over the years]; and
Grinblatt and Titman. Financial Markets and Corporate Strategy. McGraw-Hill Irwin. [Advanced, for the
serious finance students, not for the faint-hearted].

6. Course Evaluation & Development
Feedback is regularly sought from students and continual improvements are made based on this
feedback. At the end of this course, you will be asked to complete the myExperience survey , which
provides a key source of student evaluative feedback. Your input into this quality enhancement process is
extremely valuable in assisting us to meet the needs of our students and provide an effective and
enriching learning experience. The results of all surveys are carefully considered and do lead to action
towards enhancing educational quality.
As a result of past student suggestions, the tutorial format has been modified to allow for a more
engaging learning experience.

Program Learning Outcomes
The Business School places knowledge and capabilities at the core of its curriculum via seven Program
Learning Outcomes (PLOs). These PLOs are systematically embedded and developed across the
duration of all coursework programs in the Business School.
PLOs embody the knowledge, skills and capabilities that are taught, practised and assessed within each
Business School program. They articulate what you should know and be able to do upon successful
completion of your degree.
Upon graduation, you should have a high level of specialised business knowledge and capacity for
responsible business thinking, underpinned by ethical professional practice. You should be able to
harness, manage and communicate business information effectively and work collaboratively with
others. You should be an experienced problem-solver and critical thinker, with a global perspective,
cultural competence and the potential for innovative leadership.
All UNSW programs and courses are designed to assess the attainment of program and/or course level
learning outcomes, as required by the UNSW Assessment Design Procedure . It is important that you
become familiar with the Business School PLOs, as they constitute the framework which informs and
shapes the components and assessments of the courses within your program of study.
PLO 1: Business knowledge
Students will make informed and effective selection and application of knowledge in a discipline or
profession, in the contexts of local and global business.
PLO 2: Problem solving
Students will define and address business problems, and propose effective evidence-based solutions,
through the application of rigorous analysis and critical thinking.
PLO 3: Business communication
Students will harness, manage and communicate business information effectively using multiple forms
of communication across different channels.
PLO 4: Teamwork
Students will interact and collaborate effectively with others to achieve a common business purpose or
fulfil a common business project, and reflect critically on the process and the outcomes.
PLO 5: Responsible business practice
Students will develop and be committed to responsible business thinking and approaches, which are
underpinned by ethical professional practice and sustainability considerations.
PLO 6: Global and cultural competence
Students will be aware of business systems in the wider world and actively committed to recognise and
respect the cultural norms, beliefs and values of others, and will apply this knowledge to interact,
communicate and work effectively in diverse environments.
PLO 7: Leadership development
Students will develop the capacity to take initiative, encourage forward thinking and bring about

innovation, while effectively influencing others to achieve desired results.
These PLOs relate to undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs. Separate PLOs for
honours and postgraduate research programs are included under 'Related Documents'.
Business School course outlines provide detailed information for students on how the course learning
outcomes, learning activities, and assessment/s contribute to the development of Program Learning
Outcomes.

UNSW Graduate Capabilities

The Business School PLOs also incorporate UNSW graduate capabilities , a set of generic abilities and
skills that all students are expected to achieve by graduation. These capabilities articulate the
University’s institutional values, as well as future employer expectations.

While our programs are designed to provide coverage of all PLOs and graduate capabilities, they also

provide you with a great deal of choice and flexibility. The Business School strongly advises you to
choose a range of courses that assist your development against the seven PLOs and four graduate
capabilities, and to keep a record of your achievements as part of your portfolio. You can use a portfolio
as evidence in employment applications as well as a reference for work or further study. For support
with selecting your courses contact the UNSW Business School Student Centre .
Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

Academic Integrity is honest and responsible scholarship. This form of ethical scholarship is highly
valued at UNSW. Terms like Academic Integrity, misconduct, referencing, conventions, plagiarism,
academic practices, citations and evidence based learning are all considered basic concepts that
successful university students understand. Learning how to communicate original ideas, refer sources,
work independently, and report results accurately and honestly are skills that you will be able to carry
beyond your studies.
The definition of academic misconduct is broad. It covers practices such as cheating, copying and
using another person’s work without appropriate acknowledgement. Incidents of academic misconduct
may have serious consequences for students.
Plagiarism
UNSW regards plagiarism as a form of academic misconduct. UNSW has very strict rules regarding
plagiarism. Plagiarism at UNSW is using the words or ideas of others and passing them off as your
own. All Schools in the Business School have a Student Ethics Officer who will investigate incidents of
plagiarism and may result in a student’s name being placed on the Plagiarism and Student Misconduct
Registers.
Below are examples of plagiarism including self-plagiarism: Copying: Using the same or very
similar words to the original text or idea without acknowledging the source or using quotation
marks. This includes copying materials, ideas or concepts from a book, article, report or other
written document, presentation, composition, artwork, design, drawing, circuitry, computer
program or software, website, internet, other electronic resource, or another person's
assignment, without appropriate acknowledgement of authorship.
Inappropriate Paraphrasing: Changing a few words and phrases while mostly retaining the original
structure and/or progression of ideas of the original, and information without acknowledgement. This
also applies in presentations where someone paraphrases another’s ideas or words without credit and
to piecing together quotes and paraphrases into a new whole, without appropriate referencing.
Collusion: Presenting work as independent work when it has been produced in whole or part in
collusion with other people. Collusion includes:
Students providing their work to another student before the due date, or for the purpose of them
plagiarising at any time
Paying another person to perform an academic task and passing it off as your own
Stealing or acquiring another person’s academic work and copying it
Offering to complete another person’s work or seeking payment for completing academic work
Collusion should not be confused with academic collaboration (i.e., shared contribution towards a
group task).
Inappropriate Citation: Citing sources which have not been read, without acknowledging the 'secondary'
source from which knowledge of them has been obtained.
Self-Plagiarism: ‘Self-plagiarism’ occurs where an author republishes their own previously written work
and presents it as new findings without referencing the earlier work, either in its entirety or partially.
Self-plagiarism is also referred to as 'recycling', 'duplication', or 'multiple submissions of research

findings' without disclosure. In the student context, self-plagiarism includes re-using parts of, or all of, a
body of work that has already been submitted for assessment without proper citation.
To see if you understand plagiarism, do this short quiz: https://student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism-quiz
Cheating
The University also regards cheating as a form of academic misconduct. Cheating is knowingly
submitting the work of others as their own and includes contract cheating (work produced by an
external agent or third party that is submitted under the pretences of being a student’s original piece of
work). Cheating is not acceptable at UNSW.
If you need to revise or clarify any terms associated with academic integrity you should explore the
'Working with Academic Integrity' self-paced lessons available at: https://student.unsw.edu.au/aim .
For UNSW policies, penalties, and information to help you avoid plagiarism see: https://
student.unsw.edu.au/plagiarism as well as the guidelines in the online ELISE tutorials for all new UNSW
students: http://subjectguides.library.unsw.edu.au/elise . For information on student conduct see:
https://student.unsw.edu.au/conduct .
For information on how to acknowledge your sources and reference correctly, see: https://
student.unsw.edu.au/referencing . If you are unsure what referencing style to use in this course, you
should ask the lecturer in charge.
Student Responsibilities and Conduct

Students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to university policies in relation to class
attendance and general conduct and behaviour, including maintaining a safe, respectful environment;
and to understand their obligations in relation to workload, assessment and keeping informed.
Information and policies on these topics can be found on the 'Managing your Program' website .
Workload
It is expected that you will spend at least ten to twelve hours per week studying for a course except for
Summer Term courses which have a minimum weekly workload of twenty to twenty four hours . This
time should be made up of reading, research, working on exercises and problems, online activities and
attending classes. In periods where you need to complete assignments or prepare for examinations, the
workload may be greater. Over-commitment has been a cause of failure for many students. You should
take the required workload into account when planning how to balance study with employment and
other activities.
We strongly encourage you to connect with your Moodle course websites in the first week of semester .
Local and international research indicates that students who engage early and often with their course
website are more likely to pass their course.
View more information on expected workload
Attendance
Your regular and punctual attendance at lectures and seminars or in online learning activities is
expected in this course. The Business School reserves the right to refuse final assessment to those
students who attend less than 80% of scheduled classes where attendance and participation is required
as part of the learning process (e.g., tutorials, flipped classroom sessions, seminars, labs, etc.).
View more information on attendance
General Conduct and Behaviour

You are expected to conduct yourself with consideration and respect for the needs of your fellow
students and teaching staff. Conduct which unduly disrupts or interferes with a class, such as ringing or
talking on mobile phones, is not acceptable and students may be asked to leave the class.
View more information on student conduct
Health and Safety

UNSW Policy requires each person to work safely and responsibly, in order to avoid personal injury and
to protect the safety of others.
View more information on Health and Safety
Keeping Informed
You should take note of all announcements made in lectures, tutorials or on the course web site. From
time to time, the University will send important announcements to your university e-mail address
without providing you with a paper copy. You will be deemed to have received this information. It is also
your responsibility to keep the University informed of all changes to your contact details.
