Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
The late penalties for Assessments are as per the University policies.
Special assessment requirements
To Pass the Unit, you will need to satisfy the following conditions:
- Sit for all Quizzes, do the ST1 Capstone Project and submit the lab work and major assignment, 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).
Once above conditions have been satisfied, grades will be awarded as per the following table:
| Grade |
Formula for Grade Calculation |
| HD |
Total Mark ≥ 85 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
| DI |
Total Mark ≥ 75 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
| CR |
Total Mark ≥ 65 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
| P |
Total Mark ≥ 50 AND ST1 Capstone Project Mark ≥ 50 |
| NX |
Total Mark < 50 OR ST1 Capstone Project Mark < 50 |
- The student's final grade is based on the Total Mark, obtained as the sum of all the assesment items Quiz 1, Quiz2, Quiz 3, Quiz 4, Assignment and ST1 Capstone Project Mark
- However, You have to pass the ST1 Capstone Project(ST1 Capstone Project Mark >= 50% ) to pass the unit.
- If you fail the Capstone Project ((ST1 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 convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work.
Supplementary assessment
Refer to the Assessment Policy and Assessment Procedures.
Supplementary assessment is not offered in this unit unless required by the relevant university policy.
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.
