Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
Normally an aggregate mark of 50% is required to pass the unit.
- Stundents need to achieve at least 50% of the total marks in the Group Project to pass this unit.
- Stundents need to achieve at least 50% of the total marks in the Research Paper to pass this unit.
The final grade for the subject is then determined according to the following table:
|
85 <= Final mark <= 100 |
Final grade = HD |
|
75 <= Final mark < 85 |
Final grade = DI |
|
65 <= Final mark < 75 |
Final grade = CR |
|
50 <= Final mark < 65 |
Final grade = P |
|
0 <= Final mark < 50 |
a final grade (NX, NC, or NN) |
The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work.
Academic integrity
Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others' work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values. Refer to the University's Student Charter for more information.
To enhance understanding of academic integrity, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) at least once during their course of study. You can access this module within UCLearn (Canvas) through the 'Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism' link in the Study Help site.
Use of Text-Matching Software
The University of Canberra uses text-matching software to help students and staff reduce plagiarism and improve understanding of academic integrity. The software matches submitted text in student assignments against material from various sources: the internet, published books and journals, and previously submitted student texts.
