Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Note that due to the nature of this assessment, no late submissions will be accepted for the demonstrations component of the individual assignment. Students must be present in the Week 13 lab to demonstrate their individual assignment. Students who do not demonstrate their individual assigment in the Week 13 lab without prior approval from the unit convener as per the requirements for extensions will receive zero (0) marks for the individual assignment.
Special assessment requirements
The final unit mark will be calculated by adding together the weighted scores of all assessment items (see section 5 for assessment items and weightings).
The unit convener reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work and may adjust awarded marks based on this questioning.
See https://www.canberra.edu.au/current-students/canberra-students/examinations-and-results/grading-schema for the full grading schema and grade descriptors.
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.
Group Assignment Peer Assessment
In order to recognise the contributions of individual members in a team environment, the following process will apply:
- This assignment is group based and marked for the whole group. This initial mark for the assignment is known as the “group mark”.
- Each individual member of a group will receive a different mark that is calculated from the group mark. These marks are known as the “individual mark”. The individual mark is equal to 50% of the group mark, plus 50% of the group mark adjusted by a scaling factor. This scaling factor is calculated from the ratings provided by other members of the group in the peer review report.
- Individuals who are rated as contributing more relative to their group members will receive a scaling factor of greater than x1, meaning that they will receive an individual mark that is higher than the group mark.
- Individuals who are rated as contributing less relative to their group members will receive a scaling factor of less than x1, meaning that they will receive an individual mark that is lower than the group mark. Note that as only 50% of the group mark is adjusted by the scaling factor, the lowest possible mark an individual can receive is 50% of the group mark.
The individual mark has a maximum of 100% of the available marks for the assignment (in other words, you cannot be scaled to above the maximum marks available for this assignment).
