START HERE!
Welcome and enjoy the ride!
Once again, welcome to Sustainability and Greed (SUS1501). As we have already said, this is going to be one of the craziest and hopefully one of the most interesting modules that you will do during your studies. So prepare yourself psychologically now. This module is meant to confuse you. It's meant to force you to scratch your head. It’s meant to force you to question things and to wonder.
Purpose
Ok. That’s the basic warning (or promise depending on how you look at it). But besides making you think, what is the formal purpose of this module the purpose which we put on all our documentation? Well it goes like this:
“The overarching purpose of this signature module is to remind commerce students of their humanness, and to present them with a primer to a lifetime of critical thinking. These objectives will be pursued by: a) introducing students to selected moral and political philosophy theories; and b) providing them with opportunities in the form of case studies to apply these to the contemporary social themes of sustainability and greed.”
Doesn’t sound too whacky really, does it? Don’t be fooled. But first three important warnings:
THINGS WE DON'T TOLERATE
2. Late assignments you will get 0 for a late assignment unless you have a very good
excuse with supporting evidence. To find assignment due dates, please go to the
"Schedule" tool in the menu on the left or to the "Calendar" on the "Home" page.
4. Plagiarism any unacknowledged copying from any source will get you a 0. If you want to reinforce your answer with research that you have done, you must include all your sources. And if you use any wordforword quotes, these must be clearly indicated with inverted commas (") and acknowledged where they are quoted in your answers. (Please see the "01 GETTING STARTED" discussion forum for more details).
