STUDENT FEEDBACK ON SUBJECT SURVEY

The Student Feedback on Subjects (SFS) Survey is one of the quality assurance processes that occur across the University. In this survey, you can tell us about your learning experiences in this subject. We value your feedback. Your views are taken seriously and assist us to improve the learning experience for future students. The surveys will be available for you to complete towards the end of the subject. Feedback from previous students who completed this subject is available in the LMS site for this subject. For more information regarding SFS you may contact [email protected].

Policies, Procedures and Guidelines The University has a comprehensive policy framework to which both staff and students must adhere. You should familiarise yourself with those policies, procedures and guidelines likely to affect you especially the following: • • • • • • • • • •

Academic Integrity Academic Progress Assessment and Feedback Extension to Submission Dates Late Submission of Assessment Tasks Occupational, Health and Safety [OHS] Privacy Special Consideration Student Charter Use of Electronic Mail

The relevant policies, procedures and guidelines can be found on the website at: https://policies.latrobe.edu.au/home

Academic Integrity Academic integrity means being honest in academic work and taking responsibility for learning the conventions of scholarship. La Trobe University views this seriously as evidenced by the following extract: Academic honesty is a fundamental principle in teaching, learning, research and scholarship. The University requires its academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic work and it demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted scholarly work, and by penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating. Academic Integrity Procedures (2012, p. 1 of 6) Academic misconduct includes improper referencing, plagiarism, copying and cheating. You should familiarise yourself with your responsibilities in relation to Academic Integrity and if you have any questions, direct them to your Course Coordinator. Information can be found on the website at: Academic Integrity, Student administration, La Trobe University All hard copy assignments should be accompanied by the Academic Integrity Assignment Declaration Form available at: Assignment Declaration Form [PDF 27KB] For assistance with referencing visit Acknowledgement and referencing help, Student administration, La Trobe University

Special Consideration Special Consideration is the term used to describe a process that applies an equity measure to ensure that where any temporary adverse circumstances beyond the control of a student, that impact negatively on that student’s ability to demonstrate their learning achievement for an assessment task, is taken into account. Eligibility to apply for Special Consideration does not automatically imply eligibility to receive it. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order to receive Special Consideration. Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at https://policies.latrobe.edu.au/home Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be made online at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/special-consideration La Trobe University

Extensions, Late Submissions and Penalties There are policies and procedures to guarantee fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks provide equity around extensions to submission dates and penalties associated with not submitting assessment by the due date and time. The University requires fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks. The procedure for late submission is documented in the Late Submission of Assessment Tasks document (Ref. no. 112027D). It states: The standard penalty for late submission of assessment tasks is 5% of the marks for that task for each delay in submission of a day or partial day up to a maximum of five (5) working days after the due date. Assessment tasks will not be accepted after the earlier of the following occurrences: •

The fifth (5th) working day after the due date; or

•

Feedback on the assessment task has been returned to any student by the Teaching Team member.

These penalties apply only to individual assessment tasks worth 15% or more of the total assessment for the subject. Late submission of take home examinations is not permitted. Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be made online at: https://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/admin/forms/special-consideration/submit-or-reviewapplication. Please refer to the relevant policies, proc edures and guidelines website at:.https://policies.latrobe.edu.au/home

Student Complaint La Trobe University is committed to an effective complaints handling mechanism for students in line with its policy of creating a harmonious and productive study environment.
