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:
- Submit all assignments, including the ST1 Capstone Project and submit assignments and all components of ST1 Capstone Project, including report, demonstration, presentation and interview/viva-voce, and have no outstanding resubmissions by Friday of week 12.
- In the case of illness, misadventure or unavoidable commitments, 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 final grade is the sum of all the assesment items : All assignments including the ST1 Capstone Project Assignment.
- 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.
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.
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.
