Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
All assessment items will receive a numerical mark. The final grade will be a weighted average of the individual assessment items.
An aggregate mark of 50% is required to pass the unit. In addition, following criteria have to be meet for passing this unit:
- Students need to achieve at least 50% of the total marks in the Group Project to pass this unit.
- Students need to achieve at least 50% of the total marks in the Research Paper to pass this unit.
- Students will have to submit all the assessment items.
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 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.
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.
