Sac U401 question

(1/5) > >>

chubz90:
hey guys, i got my sac back today and i was quite happy with my score, although one thing i dont get...

Okay i only lost one mark through the whole SAC but i dont know why, it just seems so stupid to me.

This was the question, 'Refer to the newspaper article opposite and give reasons why valued workers are less likely to take time off. In my answer i said that if workers have high morale they are less likley to take less time off [or somthing along those lines]. And what the teacher did was cicle 'morale' and write next to it define. Now the thing is the question was worth two marks and i recieved one, which i dont think is fair also considering i wrote a good slab. The thing is the SAC had very little to do with the word morale,nor was it a business term studied within that area of study or hell throughout Business studies. I mean she has confused the hell out of me, when do i define and when dont i. I spend soo long defining all the possible terms that im always last to finish. I'm just gonna go bonkers here.  :uglystupid2:

vce01:
have you talked about this with your teacher?

costargh:
Did you say why they would have high morale?

Odette.:
Ha! Ok what you need to remember is this.... 1. Define key words in the question, 2. Define any words which a business related in your answer.
Although at UNI LEVEL this isn't required. -grins- Got introuble on Monday for it Dx

Are you sure that is required?? I mean, I can't see the point of you answering a question and then defining all the business terminology..

e.g.

The increase in staff morale, the attitude of the staff to the work and the organisation, has boosted the organisations competitiveness, the way in which an organisation strives to deliver products that are beyond that of their competitors, and hence, their productivity, the amount of output per worker input, has increased. Overall, because of the increased morale, the organisations competitiveness, productivity and furthermore, their corporate culture - the shared values and beliefs of staff within an organisation, have all developed and made the organisation an employer of choice - oh, which is an organisation thhat attracts and retains staff of a higher calibre than its competitors  :) :) :) :) :).



I don't think its necessary to define all the "business terms" you mention in your response - cos' as you can see it adds complexity and added mess to your answer.


In regards, to chubz90 first post - I think your teacher is wrong - just argue that you thought you didn't need to define morale because it was clearly not directly related to the question and hence, by having it in your answer and linking it back to the question it demonstrates that you know what it means and have the ability to incorporate it into your answers.
