Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Students who do not submit the research paper will receive a final grade of NC (Not Complete).
Late submission of Research paper without an approved extension will results in a penalty of 5% reduced marks from the total available, per calendar day late. Research paper submitted over 5 days late will not be accepted.
Special assessment requirements
- An aggregate mark of 50% is required to pass the unit.
- Students who do not participate in the Research Paper will receive a final grade of NC (Not Complete).
- The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work and may adjust awarded marks based on this questioning.
- See Grading Schema for the full grading schema and grade descriptors.
- Late submission of quiz is not allowed.
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.
Details of each assessment item
An overall mark is calculated as a sum of marks obtained for the items listed in 5(a).
The grade requirements are then
| Grade |
Overall Mark |
| HD |
>= 85% |
| DI |
>= 75% |
| CR |
>= 65% |
| P |
>= 50% |
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.
