The final assessment will be an Open-book Take Home Online Exam. The exam will be released on the unit CloudDeakin site in the Content area, under Assessment Resources at the date/time scheduled in the University Exam T3 2021 timetable You must complete the task individually. The exam is similar to a normal two-hour open-book exam. It comprises 6 questions and you must answer any 4 questions. The exam will take you approximately 2 hours of working time, although you have 24 hours to complete and submit it. Late or wrong file submission may result in your exam submission not being marked. Check that you have uploaded the correct exam to the Dropbox. The 24 deadline is well beyond the actual time required to complete the Open-book Take Home Online Exam. If you are well-prepared, the exam should take about the same time to complete as a two-hour problem-style exam. The reason for the additional time in the 24 deadline is to allow you to complete the task at a time that suits your personal circumstances. If you have more than one Online Exam within the 24-hour period, this will not be grounds for any extra time or dispensation given the length of time allowed.

It is important you respond to the questions using your own words as your submitted exam response will be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting collusion and/or plagiarism.

Preparation •

A reliable internet connection is vital for the exam. You will also need to have the appropriate computer hardware for downloading the exam, completing the exam and uploading it to the CloudDeakin Dropbox on the day of the exam. If you do not have access to a computer or the Internet, subject to COVID-19 restrictions, there may be limited availability to sit the exam on campus. If you wish to sit the exam on campus you must formally apply for this in accordance with the specified timelines, to the University using the webform. A link to the webform will be made available on the CloudDeakin site.

The best way to prepare for the Open-book Take Home Online Exam is to: • Know the unit materials thoroughly. • Complete the revision as recommended by the unit chair. • Before the exam, think about the content covered in the unit. Think about the type of questions which could be asked and prepare notes related to those questions. • Note that you are unlikely to have access to e-textbooks provided through the Deakin Library during your exam due to licensing constraints, therefore, you should prepare your own study notes in advance.

This Open-book Take Home Online Exam contains problem-based and application based, not research, questions. You can base your answers on the unit resources. You will not be expected to access other resources.
