5. Teaching, Learning and AssessmentTeaching & 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 specifiedtimes in the year, together with periodic assessments of coursework, laboratoryexercises and project work.
The assessment of students performance is an appraisal of the extent to which studentsare attaining or have attained the objectives of the programme. The Assessment Panel
shall consider students performance in all components of the assessment for thosecourses in the programme.

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 theregulations regarding appeals, extenuating circumstances, and application deadline for areview 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 =

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.
where Giis the grade point of the ith course andUiis the number of credit units of the ith course.

2. Personal problems involving family and relationships. If this happens to you, pleaseapproach 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 ncourses:
CGPA =

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 coursethree 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.

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 DevelopmentCommunication Channels
It is vitally important for students to monitor any communication channel relating to
academic matters and students activities. The main channels for promulgatinginformation 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.)
2. Course announcements page on Blackboard.
3. Programme announcements page on Blackboard.
4. Divisional Website (http://www.dco.cityu.edu.hk).
5. Lectures and classes.
6. Class Representatives.
Please check the Email and Blackboard channels regularly. If a staff member is unable tohold a lecture or class on a particular day due, for example, to illness, email andBlackboard 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 matterrelates 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 eitherthe Programme Leader or the Head of Division first. You may also follow the ComplaintsProcedure for CCCU Students and lodge your complaint in accordance with procedurespromulgated 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 academicadvisor or members of the programme management team can help by arranging anappointment with one of the Universitys professional Personal Counselors.
