Determination of Final Grade You need to obtain at least 50 marks out of 100 according to the Deakin University scale to gain a minimum of a Pass grade. There is no exam hurdle requirement in this unit.

In-Trimester Assessments It is the responsibility of a student to sit for a test/assessment on the scheduled date, according to the class they are enrolled in.

Assessment Reviews Review of Assessment During a Trimester During the course of a trimester, students will be provided with feedback on their performance in all assessment tasks. It is expected that students will discuss any issues directly with their lecturer. Limited grounds for a review of assessment are available and students are referred to the Assessment Policy for further information (available from the Deakin College website). A Review of Assessment during a Trimester form must be completed and submitted within 5 working days of publication of the result for the particular piece of assessment.

Review of Assessment at the End of a Trimester If a student reasonably believes that a final grade has not been added or processed correctly, he or she may apply for a review of final grade by completing the Review of Final Grade Application. Applications must be submitted to Deakin College Reception within 5 working days of the publication of the final results. A review of final grade involves review and checking of marks - it does NOT involve a review or remarking of individual pieces of assessment.

Special Consideration Special Consideration may be provided to students who are prevented from performing to the best of their ability in a particular piece of assessment, including a scheduled examination, due to serious and exceptional circumstances beyond their control. Examples of such circumstances are provided in the Assessment Policy (available from the Deakin College website) and include serious illness or injury, hardship or trauma. Students are required to complete a Special Consideration Application (available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms) and submit this to Deakin College Reception, together with supporting documentation before the assessment due date, or within 3 working days after the submission/timetabled date of the relevant piece of assessment. Page 3 (‘Health Practitioner Certificate’) of the Special Consideration Application must be completed by a health practitioner for applications on medical, health or psychological grounds. Please refer to the Assessment Policy for further information. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This document is current at 20/02 /2020.

Students who require an assignment extension should not apply for special consideration but must complete a Request for Extension of Assignment Dues Date form (available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms).

Academic Misconduct Students should familiarise themselves with the Academic Integrity Policy (available from the Deakin College website). Academic misconduct is a serious offence in academia. These include plagiarism, collusion, cheating and ‘misrepresentations’ (which includes falsification of documents). Penalties will be applied consistently with the Academic Integrity Policy. Plagiarism The act of presenting the work of another person(s) as though it is one’s own original work, whether intentionally or by accident, without proper reference of the original source or sources. Collusion Work that is produced in part or in whole by unauthorised collaboration with other person(s) which is then presented by any of the parties as their own work. Cheating Any dishonest conduct whether in an assessment or in any representation. For example, communication with another student during an examination, having unauthorised notes during an examination - the notes may be on or in an object, a data storage device or on any part of the body, or ‘contract cheating’, which is the purchasing work or commissioning another person or website to produce a work which is then passed off as your own. Misrepresentation As assertion by words, conduct or non-disclosure of information which creates a false status or is not consistent with the facts. Whenever you refer to another person’s research or ideas (whether by directly quoting or by paraphrasing them) you MUST acknowledge that source. Copying paragraphs from the internet and presenting them as your own work is plagiarism. If you download and copy paragraphs from the internet, you must identify the source. You MUST acknowledge the sources that you have drawn on. This is a necessary courtesy to the original authors, and also allows the readers of your work to follow up on any points that you have raised. If you directly copy another writer's phrase, sentence or paragraph, then you should use quotation marks and note the source of the quote. If you use another writer's ideas, but not his or her exact words, you should again note the source. There are a number of ways by which you can refer to other people's work. The main referencing method used at Deakin College is the Harvard referencing method, which involves noting the author's name, the title of the article and journal, or book, the year of publication, the journal's volume number, the book publisher's name and location, and the relevant page numbers. A copy of Guide to Assignment Writing and Referencing is available on the Deakin University website: http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support/referencing/harvard

Assignment Submission Assignments must be submitted by the due date. The Assignment Cover Sheet (available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms), must be submitted and signed when submitting a hard copy assignment. It should be attached it to their assignment and then submitted with the completed assignment as outlined in the assignment details. (Assignments will not be accepted at Deakin College Reception). Students must keep a copy of each assignment submitted and must be able to produce the copy in the unlikely event that the original assignment is misplaced. Students must maintain backup copies of all their assignment work. Electronic loss of data is common but is NOT a satisfactory excuse for an extension of a submission date. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This document is current at 20/02 /2020.

Any work that you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting collusion and/or plagiarism. It is Deakin College policy that the period between submission and marking of assignments should not normally exceed fifteen (15) working days to allow for timely feedback to students on their progress.

Late Submission of Assignments Extension of an Assignment Submission Date If there is a compelling reason why you are unable to complete your assignment before the due date you should complete a Request for Extension of Assignment Due Date form, available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms and submit it to your unit coordinator. Appropriate supporting documentation MUST be submitted with Request for Extension of Assignment Due Date Form before an extension request can be considered. This must be done at least 48 hours before the assignment due date. Penalties for Late Submissions Assignments received late and without prior approval will be penalised. A penalty of 5% of the total available marks will be deducted for every day the assignment is late. Assignments submitted more than 5 working days after the due date will be awarded a mark of zero.

Learning Support Students have access to group-oriented and individual learning support at Deakin College. During each trimester, students can attend a series of study skills workshops conducted both at Deakin College and Deakin University on topics such as time management, avoiding plagiarism, referencing, academic writing, critical thinking and exam preparation. Students can book individual consultations with the Deakin College Academic Skills Advisor. They can also access the Deakin University Language and Learning Drop-in Centre. All students have access to the Academic Skills Moodle site which contains a number of resources to improve students’ study skills and language proficiency.
