Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Responsibility for understanding
If there is any doubt with regard to the requirements of any particular assignments or assessment procedure, the onus for clarifying the issue rests with the student who should contact the unit convenor or tutor. Further, it is the responsibility of students to ensure that they are correctly enrolled in the unit and that the tutor and Student Administration have their correct contact details.
In order to be eligible for a deferred exam, students must contact the Exams Office within 3 days of the scheduled exam time to request a deferred exam.
Special assessment requirements
For final assessment in the unit, the result will be one of the following grades: HD, DI, CR, P, or Fail (NX, NC or NN).
The final mark is calculated as follows:
Final mark (out of 100) = Week 2 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Week 3 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Week 4 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Week 5 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Week 6 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Assignment 1 mark (out of 15) + Week 9 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Week 10 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Week 11 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Week 12 Tutorial mark (out of 2) + Assignment 2 mark (out of 15) + Final Exam mark (out of 52)
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 |
Final grade = FAIL (NX, NC or NN) |
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.
