Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

Please read the above information carefully regarding extensions and late penalties. In addition to the above, please note the following:

1. Students are expected to work on the assessment items throughout the teaching period. Early communication of problems is strongly advised. Students should assess early in the teaching period whether they have a reasonable likelihood of being able to complete the unit and should consider withdrawing by the census date, if required.
2. Completed Assignment Extension forms should be emailed to the unit convener along with supporting documentation (please put "Extension request" in the subject line) .
3. The unit convener will consider your request, determine the length of the extension to be granted and email you advising whether your request is approved or declined. If approved, the new due date will also appear on your Canvas site where your assignment is submitted.
4. Assignments submitted after the due date, regardless of whether an extension was granted, will be returned at a later date than those submitted on time.

Special assessment requirements

Special Assessment

Students who have a documented and approved absence not exceeding one day (or two half days) are required to submit a 1000 word summary of the topic/s missed in order to demonstrate competency.  This summary should be discussed with the unit convenor and must meet requirements to enable eligibility to pass the unit.

Resubmission of Assessment Tasks

In each assessment task, an ungraded pass is achieved by demonstrating competency overall through a passing grade.  Students must demonstrate an appropriate standard across all task requirements.  If a student has not met competency standards on some criteria of the assignment they will have the opportunity to address these criteria through one resubmission.  Unit convenors (or markers) will provide specific feedback in these circumstances to inform the student of the issues and criterion to be addressed. However, if the assignment still does not meet appropriate competency standards following resubmission, a fail grade will be applied. 
Students must submit/attempt all assignments to be eligible to pass the unit, and must achieve an ungraded pass in all assessment tasks in a given unit to achieve an ungraded pass for the unit.  Students must also meet attendance requirements to be eligible to pass the unit.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at 含羞草视频. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

含羞草视频 students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

含羞草视频 uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and 含羞草视频 (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Additional information

Moderation Processes

In accordance with University policy (3.15 in Assessment Procedures), moderation is required to ensure consistency in standards of marking in a unit.  The Master of Clinical Psychology program and units undertake moderation in a number of domains, specifically through review of unit outlines and unit content, assessment item details and marking guides, and in marking assignments.  All assessment pieces or marks resulting in a fail grade will be moderated by another member of the clinical team, as well as a random selection of assignments covering a range of participants in the unit. This process ensures that marking across the program is consistent.  All units are subjected to moderation at the Discipline level at the conclusion of each teaching period.
