8 ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

81 The minimum requirements for admission to the programme are

(a) Holders of an Associate Degree a Higher Diploma or equivalent qualification in

relevant disciplines awarded by recognised universities institutions

(b) Those who do not possess the above-mentioned qualifications but have reached

the age of 25 before 1 September in the year in which they seek admission may

apply as mature applicants Mature applicants should possess relevant working

experience in senior positions and have completed post-secondary studies in

related fields They will also be required to pass an admission test and

demonstrate to an Admission Interview Panel their ability to complete the

programme

82 Applicants who apply for admission with non-local qualifications are also required to

attain the following English language requirement

IELTS 60 or TOEFL 550 (paper based) 213 (computer based) 80 (Internet

based)

The above requirement may be exempted for applicants who have completed sub-

degree programmes or equivalent with English as the medium of instruction


91 Credit Transfer

Students will be given credits for recognised previous study and the credits will be

counted towards meeting the requirements of the award Normally not more than

50 of the required number of credits for the academic award may be transferable

from approved institutions outside The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU)

For transfer of credits from programmes within the PolyU normally not more than

67 of the required credits for the award can be transferred In cases where both

types of credits are transferred not more than 50 of the required number of credits

for the award may be transferred Grades may or may not be given for the transferred

credits

The programme is an articulation degree programme Students normally will not be

given credit transfer for any required Cluster-Area Requirements (CAR) and Service-

Learning subjects under General University Requirements (GUR) and they must

complete at least 60 credits2 to be eligible for the award Students who have

completed comparable subjects at sub-degree studies may apply for exemption

Should exemption be granted students will be required to take other electives

(including free electives) to make up the total of 60 credits2 required

2 The minimum requirement of 60 credits does not include the Language and Communication

Requirements (LCR) subjects under GUR which are applicable to individual students

5

The granting of credit transfer is a matter of academic judgement In assessing the

transferability of subjects previously taken the syllabus of that subject should be

carefully scrutinised to ascertain that it is comparable to the curriculum of the

programme Other relevant information may also be required to ascertain the

academic standing of the institution offering the previous study Decision on granting

credit transfer lies with the School

For credit transfer of retaken subjects the grade attained in the last attempt should be

taken in the case of credit transfer with grade being carried over Students applying

for credit transfer for a subject taken in other institutions are required to declare that

the subject grade used for claiming credit transfer was attained in the last attempt of

the subject in their previous studies If a student fails in the last attempt of a retaken

subject no credit transfer should be granted despite the fact that the student may have

attained a pass grade for the subject in the earlier attempts

Students should not be granted credit transfer for a subject which they have attempted

and failed in their current study

The validity period of subject credits earned is 8 years starting from the year in which

the subject is completed (eg if the qualification credit was earned in 201617 the

validity period should count from 2017 for 8 years) Credits earned from previous

study should remain valid at the time when the student applies for transfer of credits

92 Exemption

Students may be granted exemption from taking certain subjects if they have

successfully completed similar subjects at a comparable level in other programmes

The credits associated with the exempted subjects will not be counted for satisfying

the credit requirements of the programme In such case students will be advised to

take other subjects to satisfy the credit requirements

10 CURRICULUM DESIGN

101 Outcome-based Curriculum

University education goes beyond merely mastering accumulation of factual

knowledge It is vital to develop studentsrsquo ability to solve problems and think

critically These focuses are translated from the initial programme objectives to the

teaching approaches and evaluation of student performance

The underpinning curriculum design principle for this programme is outcome-based

learning An outcome-based curriculum provides a rigorous and robust delineation of

the professional competence It also highlights the generic abilities that are

considered important for the graduates of this programme

Explicitly specified outcomes give a clear direction as to how teaching and assessment

6

should be planned aligned and carried out Ultimately this enhances coherence and

integration among subjects within the programme

In addition students are encouraged to take more responsibility for their own learning

in an outcome-based curriculum When learning outcomes are stated clearly students

are able to plan their own learning more effectively

102 Programme Structure

1021 The programme of study consists of at least 60 credits All students are also required to

complete a non-credit-bearing Work-Integrated Education component

12 TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS

The teaching learning philosophy underlying this programme is based on a holistic

diversified and flexible approach teaching students how to learn instead of what to

memorise and equipping them with the requisite skills required of a ldquolifelongrdquo learner

On the whole various teaching and learning strategies are adopted which are geared

to the needs and characteristics of the students

The teaching and learning activities are organised coherently according to the

programme learning outcomes subject nature the particular subject topics level of

difficulty and the integration among other components and subjects of the programme

A variety of teaching and learning methods will be used

The main form of teaching is through the use of interactive lectures supplemented

with tutorial exercises (such as case studies projects and presentations) and various

kinds of audio-visual aids Students also have the chance to gain exposure to

experiential learning self-directed learning case-based learning and problem-based

learning

Web-based teaching is another characteristic of the subjects of this programme It is

used to complement face-to-face teaching not only for encouraging studentsrsquo active

participation but also to encourage them to make use of websites for information

collection

To facilitate learning the subject lecturers not only play the role of introducing new

concepts imparting knowledge but also act as facilitators to encourage students to

share their ideas and experience through class discussion case study oral presentation

and group activities


131 Principles of Assessment

Assessment of learning and assessment for learning are both important for assuring the

quality of student learning Assessment of learning is to evaluate whether students have

achieved the intended learning outcomes of the subjects that they have taken and have

attained the overall learning outcomes of the programme at the end of their study at a

standard appropriate to the award Appropriate methods of assessment that align with

the intended learning outcomes are designed for this purpose The assessment methods

will also enable the teacher to differentiate studentsrsquo different levels of performance

within the subject Assessment for learning is to engage students in productive learning

activities through purposefully designed assessment tasks

12

Assessment will also serve as feedback to students The assessment criteria and

standards should be made explicit to students before the start of the assessment to

facilitate student learning and feedback provided should link to the criteria and

standards Timely feedback will be provided to students so that they are aware of their

progress and attainment for the purpose of improvement

132 Assessment Methods

Studentsrsquo performance in a subject is assessed by continuous assessment and or

examinations as deemed appropriate Where both methods are used the weighting of

each in the overall subject grade has been clearly stated in Section Two of this

document

To pass a subject a student must obtain a pass grade in both continuous assessment

AND examination if any Continuous assessment may include tests assignments

projects presentations and other forms of classroom participation depending on the

subject area Assignments which involve group work will nevertheless include some

individual components therein The contribution made by each student in continuous

assessment involving group effort shall be determined and assessed separately and

this can result in different grades being awarded to students in the same group

At the beginning of each semester the subject lecturer will inform students of the

details of the methods of assessments to be used within the assessment framework as

specified in this document

13

133 Grading

Assessment grades shall be awarded on a criterion-referenced basis A studentrsquos

overall performance in a subject shall be graded as follows

Subject

Grade

F 0 Inadequate The studentrsquos work is inadequate It fails to

meet many of the intended subject learning

outcomes

lsquoFrsquo is a subject failure grade whilst all others (lsquoDrsquo to lsquoA+rsquo) are subject pass grades

No credit will be earned if a subject is failed

14

134 Grade Point Average

There are different types of Grade Point Average (GPA) as described below All of

them are capped at 40

1341 GPA (cumulative GPA)

Cumulative GPA is computed as follows

GPA =

n

n

ValueCredit Subject

ValueCredit Subject Point x GradeSubject

Where n = Number of all subjects (inclusive of failed subjects) taken by the student up to

and including the latest semester term For subjects which have been retaken

only the grade point obtained in the final attempt will be included in the GPA

calculation

In addition the following subjects will be excluded from the GPA calculation

(i) Exempted subjects

(ii) Ungraded subjects

(iii) Incomplete subjects

(iv) Subjects for which credit transfer has been approved but without any grade

assigned3

(v) Subjects from which a student has been allowed to withdraw (ie those with the

code lsquoWrsquo)

A student who is absent from an examination will be given a fail grade the respective

subject will be included in the GPA calculation and will be counted as ldquozerordquo grade

point GPA is thus the unweighted cumulative average calculated for a student for all

relevant subjects taken from the start of the programme to a particular point of time

GPA is an indicator of overall performance

1342 Semester GPA

Calculation of Semester GPA is similar to the rules for GPA as described above

except that only subjects taken in that semester including retaken subjects will be

included This Semester GPA will be used to determine studentsrsquo eligibility to

progress to the next semester alongside with the cumulative GPA However the

Semester GPA calculated for the Summer Term will not be used for this purpose

unless the Summer Term study is mandatory for all students of the programme

concerned and constitutes part of the graduation requirements

3 Subjects taken in PolyU or elsewhere and with grades assigned and for which credit transfer has

been approved will be included in the GPA calculation

15

1343 Weighted GPA

Along with the cumulative GPA a Weighted GPA will also be calculated to give an

indication to the Board of Examiners on the award classification which a student will

likely get if he she makes steady progress on his her academic studies

Weighted GPA will be computed as follows

n

n

i

i

W ValueCredit Subject

W ValueCredit Subject Point GradeSubject

GPA Weighted

where Wi = Weighting to be assigned according to the level of the subject

n = Number of all subjects counted in GPA calculation as set out in 1341

above except those subjects outside the programme curriculum GUR

subjects will be included

For calculating the Weighted GPA (and Award GPA) to determine the award

classification of students who satisfy the graduation requirements a standard

weighting will be applied to all subjects of the same level with a weighting of 2 for

Level 1 and 2 subjects and a weighting of 3 for Level 3 and 4 subjects This is also

applicable to the classification of ordinary degree exit award

1344 Award GPA

When a student has satisfied the requirements for award an Award GPA will be

calculated to determine his her award classification

If the student has not taken more subjects than required the Award GPA will be the

same as the Weighted GPA

Any subjects passed after the graduation requirement has been met or subjects taken

on top of the prescribed credit requirements for award shall not be taken into account

in the Award GPA However if a student attempts more elective subjects (or optional

subjects) than those required for graduation in or before the semester in which he she

becomes eligible for award the elective subjects (or optional subjects) with a higher

grade contribution shall be included in the Award GPA (ie the excessive subjects

attempted with a lower grade contribution including failed subjects will be

excluded)

135 Role of Subject Assessment Review Panel

Subject Assessment Review Panel (SARP) is responsible for monitoring the academic

standard and quality of subjects and ratifying subject results SARP will review the

distribution of grades within a subject and finalise the grades at the end of each

semester before submission to the Board of Examiners (BoE) The BoE will not

attempt to change the grades SARP is also responsible for deciding the granting of

late assessment to students and the form of late assessment

16

SARP shall include the Director of SPEED or his her delegate the relevant subject

examiners and where appropriate the Programme Leader

136 Role of Board of Examiners

The Board of Examiners (BoE) shall meet at the end of each semester to review

studentsrsquo progress and is responsible to the College Board of the College of

Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE) for making decision on

(a) the classification of awards to be granted to each student on completion of the

programme

(b) de-registration cases and

(c) cases with extenuating circumstances

The BoErsquos membership should be composed of staff members associated with the

programme and some senior members The Chairman will normally be the Director of

SPEED

137 Academic Probation

If the cumulative GPA of a student is below 20 he she will be put on academic

probation in the following semester Once a student is able to pull his her cumulative

GPA up to 20 or above at the end of the semester the status of ldquoacademic probationrdquo

will be lifted The status of ldquoacademic probationrdquo will be reflected in the assessment

result notification but not in the transcript of studies

A student on academic probation will be required to take a reduced study load To

help improve the academic performance of the student the School will decide the

maximum number of credits to be taken by him her in the probation semester

138 Progression and De-registration

A student will have ldquoprogressingrdquo status unless he she falls within the following

categories any one of which shall be regarded as grounds for de-registration from the

programme

(a) the student has exceeded the maximum period of registration for the programme

as specified in this document or

(b) the studentrsquos cumulative GPA is lower than 20 for two consecutive semesters

and his her semester GPA in the second semester is also lower than 20 or

(c) the studentrsquos cumulative GPA is lower than 20 for three consecutive semesters

When a student falls within the categories as stipulated above the BoE shall de-

register the student from the programme without exception

Notwithstanding the above the BoE has the discretion to de-register a student with

extremely poor academic performance before the time frame specified in categories (b)

17

and (c) above if it is deemed that there is not much of a chance for the student to

attain a GPA of 20 at the end of the programme

139 Late Assessment

A student who has been absent from an examination or other assessment because of

illness injury or other unforeseeable reasons may apply to sit a late assessment

Permission is subject to the approval of SARP as late assessment is not an automatic

entitlement Should a late assessment be granted the actual grade attained will be

awarded

Late assessment for subjects normally shall take place before the commencement of

the following academic year (except for Summer Term which may take place within

3 weeks after the finalisation of Summer Term results) Depending on the decision of

SARP late assessment may be arranged during the examination period of the

following semester term

Except with special approval students who have not yet completed the late

assessment for a subject which is the pre-requisite of another subject will not be

allowed to take the follow-on subject

1310 Retaking of Subjects

No re-assessment will be granted for students in all circumstances Students who

have failed a subject are required to retake the subject if it is compulsory for the

programme If the failed subject is an elective students may choose to retake the

subject or take another elective within the programme as replacement Retaking of

failed subjects or taking replacement subjects should be completed within the

maximum period of registration

Students may retake any subject (except GUR subjects which have been passed) for

the purpose of improving their grade without having to seek approval but they must

retake a compulsory subject which they have failed ie obtained an F grade Retaking

of subjects is with the condition that the maximum study load of 21 credits per

semester is not exceeded Students wishing to retake passed subjects will be accorded

a lower priority than those who are required to retake (due to failure in a compulsory

subject) and can only do so if places are available

Objectives

In Hong Kong it is a common practice especially in the corporate world

that the same message has to be presented in the appropriate language to

readers andor audiences who are either Chinese monoglots or English

monoglots or Chinese-English bilinguals This mode of communication

is not a form of translation and interpretation because it does not involve

a source message Besides communicative norms vary across languages

and between monolingual and multilingual contexts In this age of

globalisation where corporate functions are often done in more than one

language and involve personnel from more than one culture bilingual

communication could be a key to success in the corporate world This

subject together with SPD4559 attempt to prepare students for this

mode of communication in the workplace Specifically the focus of this

subject is to develop in students a grip on the conceptual resources

related to bilingual communicative norms and the conduct and content of

bilingual communication especially its integrated form

Intended

Learning

Outcomes


a come to grips with the norms and principles of conducting

language-mediated communication in an age of globalisation

multilingualism and multiculturalism

b develop a communicative sense concerning when and where

monolingual norms or bilingual norms be used

c have a general idea about linguistic varieties and how this concept

relates to bilingual communication in corporate contexts

corporate communication

Committee

Programme Intended Learning Outcome (PILO)

All three assessment tasks directly address PILO by assessing

studentsrsquo ability to communicate in written English in a business

context The tasks also indirectly address in terms of content For

example the assessed tasks may require students to synthesise

business information from different functional units of an

enterprise discuss how best to deal with an ethical dilemma facing

an enterprise andor use their global outlook to decide the best way

to deal with a business-related communication task

Subject Intended Learning Outcomes (SILOs)

Each of the three assessment tasks allow the SILOs to be assessed

The assessed tasks are however different from each other in that

they elicit from students a range of relevant text types eg

responding to an enquiry expression dissatisfaction asking a

colleague for clarification writing a short marketing report etc

Each task is designed to elicit a representative sample of language

from which studentsrsquo range accuracy organisation coherence

and tone appropriacy can be assessed Task completion will also

be assessed written communication often has a specific objective

and whether or not a text achieves its objective needs to be

considered in awarding grades for communicative ability

These 5 criteria are measured on a 5-point scale and arranged in a

set of descriptors

57

Criteria and descriptors vary slightly between the formative tasks

and the BULATS Writing Test but the core underlying language

skills are very similar

Objectives

This subject aims to help our student to break the language barrier that

prevents them to access the civilisation of Ancient China recorded in the

textual forms It enables students to acquire reading ability in Classical

Chinese by adopting the principled systematic approach devised by Wang

Li and his team at Peking University to the acquisition of Classical

Chinese on the part of undergraduate students The essence of this

approach is the division of teaching materials into three parts namely (1)

texts (2) basic vocabulary (3) grammatical patterns and relevant

knowledge with a strong sense of striking a balance between maximising

the utility of each of these three parts and integrating the three as far as

practicable

Intended

Learning

a acquire sufficient vocabulary to understand Classical Chinese

b acquire the basic grammatical features that are commonly found in

Classical Chinese

c make use of dictionaries and reference works that are instrumental

in studying Classical Chinese source material

d generalise and apply the knowledge acquired to comprehend newly-

encountered texts

e translate Classical Chinese into modern Chinese

f appreciate the historical developments of Chinese language

g relate the classical texts to the cultural historical philosophical and

social evolutions in China

h develop critical and logical thinking through learning Classical

Chinese in a systematic manner

i acquire life-long learning skills through the application of

dictionaries and reference works in the study
