Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Late Submission of assignments:
1. Late submission of Assignments will subject to the university late submission policy.
Special assessment requirements
To Pass the Unit, you will need to satisfy the following conditions:
- Complete all assignments including Capstone Project, including presentation and viva-voce/interview, and submit their quizzes and assignments, and have no outstanding resubmissions by Friday of week 12.
- In the case of illness, misadventure or unavoidable commitments at the scheduled time of Capstone Project demonstration and presentation, students should contact the Unit Convener as soon as possible. (Well in advance if possible).
- You must achieve at least 50% of the available marks in the Unit.
Once above conditions have been satisfied, grades will be awarded as per the following table:
Grade |
Formula for Grade Calculation |
HD |
AgM ≥ 85 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
DI |
AgM ≥ 75 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
CR |
AgM ≥ 65 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
P |
AgM ≥ 50 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
NX |
AgM <50 OR ST1 Capstone Project Mark < 50 |
- If you fail the ST1 Capstone Project, your final grade for this unit will be NX regardless of your final numeric mark.
- You have to pass the ST1 Capstone Project (score atleast 50%) to pass the unit.
- If you fail the Capstone Project Assessment ((Capstone Project Mark < 50% ), irrespective of your Total Mark, and marks in each assessment component (quizzes, lab work and assignment), your final grade for the unit will be NX..
- The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes, which may result in an adjustment to the marks awarded for a specific task.
Supplementary assessment
Supplementary assessment is not offered in this unit unless required by the relevant university policy.
- The student final grade is the sum of all the assesment items : Assignment marks including the ST1 Capstone Project Mark.
- The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes, which may result in an adjustment to the marks awarded for a specific task.
- Please note that Suspected academic misconduct will be referred to an appropriate prescribed authority (such as the ADE) under the University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023 for all assessment activities in this unit.
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.
