Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Responsibility for understanding
If there is any doubt with regard to the requirements of any particular assignments or assessment procedure, the onus for clarifying the issue rests with the student who should contact the unit convenor or tutor. Further, it is the responsibility of students to ensure that they are correctly enrolled in the unit and that the tutor and Student Administration have their correct contact details.
Special assessment requirements
The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes.
For final assessment in the unit, the result will be one of the following grades: HD, DI, CR, P, or Fail (NX, NC or NN).
The final mark is calculated as follows:
Final mark (out of 100) = Computer Lab Presentation and Quiz marks (out of 50) + Assignment marks (out of 30) + Computer Lab Test marks (out of 20)
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 |
Final grade = FAIL (NX, NC or NN) |
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
