Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
The hurdle requirement within this unit is a compulsory aspect or component of the studies that must be complied with in order for you to be eligible to receive a pass grade. Hurdle requirements vary from course to course and are identified for the specific subject in the curriculum documentation. Hurdle requirements ensure that you are engaged with the full range of learning outcomes required for successful knowledge transfer during the course. The hurdle requirements for this subject of study are:
- Students must complete and submit all pieces of assessment.
- Students must achieve at least 50% in assessments 1 and 2
- Students may not proceed to assessment 2 unless they achieve a Pass grade or higher in assessment 1.
- Students must complete the required marketing report that was started in assessment 1.
- Students must achieve a minimum of 40% mark in the final examination
- and
- An overall ‘Pass' grade in the unit (=50%+)
Students who are unable to sit the review test due to medical or other special reasons, have produced the appropriate documentation (see 5b below), and have been approved by the unit convener, will be required to submit another piece of assessment. This assessment piece will cover the same learning outcomes as the test and will require a similar workload as the test.
Students who are unable to submit an assignment within a week of the due date, for similar reasons, will be required to submit another assignment on a topic to be selected by the unit convenor.
No assignments will be accepted for marking after the solution or marked assignments have been returned to the class.
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.
Participation requirements
It is strongly recommended that students attend all lectures and tutorials wherever practical. The course has been designed to build student's understanding of basic concepts taught in earlier subjects and to extend that knowledge through a deeper awareness of the theory in the field of organisational change, and significantly, through practical exercises in the tutorials related to lecture content.
Required IT skills
Students will need to be able to operate basic functions within browser software (such as Firefox, Safari or Explorer) for example to download a file or operate a basic web form interface to communicate with others. Students will also be required to operate word processing software. Microsoft Word is the application provided for students on the Chadstone Campus.
