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 that students are well-versed in the topics covered in FINS1613.
Student Learning Outcomes

The Course Learning Outcomes are what you should be able to DO by the end of this course if you
participate fully in learning activities and successfully complete the assessment items.
The Learning Outcomes in this course also help you to achieve some of the overall Program Learning
Goals and Outcomes for all undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students in the Business
School. Program Learning Goals are what we want you to BE or HAVE by the time you successfully
complete your degree (e.g. ‘be an effective team player’). You demonstrate this by achieving specific
Program Learning Outcomes - what you are able to DO by the end of your degree (e.g. ‘participate
collaboratively and responsibly in teams’).
For more information on Program Learning Goals and Outcomes, refer to the course Policies and Support
.
The following table shows how your Course Learning Outcomes relate to the overall Program Learning
Goals and Outcomes, and indicates where these are assessed (they may also be developed in tutorials
and other activities):

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 a number of 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 both 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:
achieve a composite mark of at least 50 out of 100;
achieve a satisfactory result on any essential assessment components; and
meet any additional requirements described in the Assessment Summary section.
You are expected to attempt all assessment requirements in the course.

Assessment Summary
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 long and held weekly (weeks 2-13). Tutorials are composed of two
major parts:
1. Group case study presentations and discussion
2. Assig ned problem solving from textbook and MyFinance Lab
In the case study component, students are required to form groups to analyse and present and discuss a
case. Presenting group members play the role of investment banker/advisor analysing and presenting
their case to the board of directors of the company. Detailed requirements and assessment criteria for the
case presentation, report and discussion are available on Moodle.
The second component of the tutorial program involves 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. The criteria for grading
participation will be provided in the first week of tutorials.
A quiz will be held in tutorials in week 3. The quiz will cover material from week 1 and 2 of the lectures
and consist of 2 written questions (1 short answer, 1 numerical) for a total of 10 marks. Students are
required to attend the tutorial in which they are enrolled.
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 (weeks 6-12) not covered on the mid-session
exam. The mid-session exam will be held in-class in Week 7; students should ensure they are able to
attend their registered lecture on this week. The final examination will be held during the University Exam
Period.
Assignment Submission Procedure

Case study presentation
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 other
students in the tutorial before the presentation.
A soft copy of the case report is to be handed in via Turnitin during the week following the presentation.
Detailed requirements and assessment criteria for the case presentation, report and discussion are
available on Moodle.
Late Submission

For information on Special Consideration please refer to the course Policies and Support .
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.

The UNSW Business School has set a protocol under which students may view their final exam
script. Read more about the Business School's final exam script protocol .
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 w ishing 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.
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.
5. Course Resources
You will be able to obtain the latest course announcements and course material via Moodle. Lecture
notes will be available for download prior to the lecture. Students are encouraged to read the
corresponding reference material prior to lectures. Tutorial solutions will be posted after the teaching
week.

The website for this course is on Moodle .
The textbook for this course is:
Berk and DeMarzo 2016, Corporate Finance: Global Edition, 4th ed. Pearson
The text include access to he online textbook tool MyFinanceLab which is required for tutorials
The text is available from the UNSW bookshop or as an ebook from Pearson
6. Course Evaluation & Development

Each year feedback is sought from students and other stakeholders about the courses offered in the
School and continual improvements are made based on this feedback. UNSW's myExperience survey is
one of the ways in which student evaluative feedback is gathered. In this course, we will seek your
feedback through end of semester myExperience responses. As a result of past student suggestions, the
tutorial format has been modified to allow for a more engaging learning experience

Program Learning Goals and Outcomes

The Business School Program Learning Goals reflect what we want all students to BE or HAVE by the
time they successfully complete their degree, regardless of their individual majors or specialisations.
For example, we want all our graduates to HAVE a high level of business knowledge and a sound
awareness of ethical, social, cultural and environmental implications of business. As well, we want all
our graduates to BE effective problem-solvers, communicators and team participants.
You can demonstrate your achievement of these goals by the specific outcomes you achieve by the end
of your degree (i.e. Program Learning Outcomes—henceforth PLOs). These PLOs articulate what you
need to know and be able to do as a result of engaging in learning. They embody the knowledge, skills
and capabilities that are identified, mapped, taught, practised and assessed within each Business
School program.
All UNSW programs and courses are designed to assess the attainment of program and/or course level
learning outcomes, as outlined in the UNSW Assessment Design Procedure . It is therefore important
that you become familiar with the Business School PLOs, as they constitute the framework which
informs and shapes the course components and assessments of the courses within your program of
study.

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 nine to ten hours per week studying for a course except for
Summer Term courses which have a minimum weekly workload of eighteen to twenty 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 Saftey
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.
Special Consideration
You must submit all assignments and attend all examinations scheduled for your course. 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.
General information on special consideration for undergraduate and postgraduate courses can be
found in the Assessment Implementation Procedure and the Current Students page .
Please note the following:

1. Applications will not be accepted by teaching staff. The lecturer-in-charge will be automatically
notified when you lodge an online application for special consideration
2. Decisions and recommendations are only made by lecturers-in-charge (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 lecturers-in-charge to award students additional marks
Business School Protocol on requests for Special Consideration

The lecturer-in-charge will need to be satisfied on each of the following before supporting a request for
special consideration:
1. Does the medical certificate contain all relevant information? For a medical certificate to be
accepted, the degree of illness and its impact on the student must be stated by the medical
practitioner (severe, moderate, mild). A certificate without this will not be valid. Students should also
note that only medical certificates issued after physically visiting a registered medical practitioner
will be accepted. Medical certificates submitted for Special Consideration should always be
requested from a registered medical practitioner that you have seen at a medical
practice. Certificates obtained online or via social media may be fraudulent and if relied upon could
result in a breach of the UNSW Student Code .
2. Has the student performed satisfactorily in the other assessment items? To understand what

Satisfactory Performance means in this course, please refer to the 'Formal Requirements' section in
Part A of your Course Outline
Special Consideration and the Final Exam in undergraduate and postgraduate

courses
Applications for special consideration in relation to the final exam are considered by a Business School
Faculty panel to which lecturers-in-charge provide their recommendations for each request. If the
Faculty panel grants a special consideration request, this will entitle the student to sit a supplementary
examination. No other form of consideration will be granted. The following procedures will apply:
1. Supplementary exams will be scheduled centrally and will be held approximately two weeks after the
formal examination period.
Supplementary exams for Semester 1, 2018 will be held during the period 14 - 21 July, 2018 .
Students wishing to sit a supplementary exam will need to be available during this period.
The date for all Business School supplementary exams for Summer Term 2017/2018 is Wednesday,
21 February, 2018 . If a student lodges a special consideration for the final exam, they are stating
they will be available on this date. Supplementary exams will not be held at any other time .
2. Where a student is granted a supplementary examination as a result of a request for special

consideration, the student’s original exam (if completed) will be ignored and only the mark achieved
in the supplementary examination will count towards the final grade. Absence from a supplementary
exam without prior notification does not entitle the student to have the original exam paper marked,
and may result in a zero mark for the final exam.
The Supplementary Exam Protocol for Business School students is available at: http://
www.business.unsw.edu.au/suppexamprotocol
For special consideration for assessments other than the final exam refer to the ‘Assessment Section’
in your course outline .

The UNSW Business School has set a protocol under which students may view their final exam script.
Please check the protocol here .
Given individual schools within the Faculty may set up a local process for viewing final exam scripts, it
is important that you check with your School whether they have any additional information on this
process. Please note that this information might also be included in your course outline.
