Special assessment requirements To Pass the Unit, you will need to satisfy the following conditions: Sit for all Quizzes, do the Final exam and submit the lab work and major assignment, and have no outstanding resubmissions by Friday of week 12. In the case of illness, misadventure or unavoidable commitments at the scheduled time of an examination, 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 Final Exam Mark ≥ 50 DI Total Mark ≥ 75 AND Final Exam Mark ≥ 50 CR Total Mark ≥ 65 AND Final Exam Mark ≥ 50 P Total Mark ≥ 50 AND Final Exam Mark ≥ 50 NX Total Mark < 50 OR Final Exam Mark < 50 The student's final grade is based on the Total Mark, obtained as the sum of all the assesment items Quiz 1, Quiz2, Quiz 3, Quiz 4, Lab Work, Assignment and Final Exam Mark. However, You have to pass the final exam (Final Exam Mark >= 50% ) to pass the unit. If you fail the final exam ((Final Exam Mark < 50% ), irrespective of your Total Mark, and marks in each assessment component (quizzes, lab work and assignment), your final grade for the unit will be NX. The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work. 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. 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.
