Special assessment requirements

Hurdle 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 marketing plan 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%+)

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.

Additional information

Hurdle Requirements:

            Please refer to section 5d  above.

            Special consideration

Applications for an extension to the due date for submission of an assessment item on the grounds of illness or other unavoidable and verifiable personal circumstances (that is, special consideration) should be submitted via email to the unit convener.

Each application for an extension has to be supported by appropriate documentation. For advice on documentary evidence to support applications for extensions, please refer to the Deferred Examination Policy https://guard.canberra.edu.au/policy/policy.php?pol_id=3176. 

"Students should apply for extensions before the due submission date, and are advised to do so as early as possible. Applications after the due submission date may be considered only in exceptional circumstances" Assessment Procedures 3.22.

In the case of any student who has provided a medical certificate in support of special consideration and is unable to submit that work on/at an agreed time, then that student must make immediate contact with the unit co-ordinator as soon as practicable.  This contact will determine whether that assessment item is to be continued or another optional item is commenced.  This consensus process will then determine whether the final mark contributes to the final exam.  That is, the responsibility of completing a late assessment item then remains with the student(s).

Penalties for late submission or non-completion of mandatory assessment

This section only refers to students who have not been granted an extension (see above).

Students who do not submit assignments on time will be penalized 5% of the marks of the assignment per day or part day (please see above – 5b).  

Students who do not submit an assignment within seven [7] days of the deadline will be given a mark of 0 for the item.

Students who do not attempt the examination will automatically fail the unit.
