Submission of assessment items
Extensions & Late submissions
Assignments are meant to be individual work (unless specified), although talking a problem over with another student or tutor is considered one reasonable way of learning. However, the actually submitted assignment must be the student's own work. Students are expected to familiarise themselves with the University's Student Charter
Extensions: Extensions must be applied for before the due date.
Responsibility for understanding
If there is any doubt with regard to the requirements of any particular assignments or assessment procedure, the onus for clarifying the issue rests with the student who should contact the unit convenor or tutor. Further, it is the responsibility of students to ensure that they are correctly enrolled in the unit and that the tutor and Student Administration have their correct contact details.
Special assessment requirements
To be awarded a particular grade in this unit, students must meet the overall requirements, assignment requirements, project requirements, and quiz requirements set out in the table below. All grades are conditional upon the following minimum requirements:
- Minimum 50% of combined marks from the Lab Work and
- Minimum 50% for the Final Project, and
- Minimum 50% of combined online quizzes (Mid Semester Quiz and Week 13 Quiz), and
- There are no outstanding submissions at the end of week 14
All assessment items will receive a numerical mark. The final grade will be determined as a weighted average of the individual assessment items.
| Grade |
Cumulative Mark |
| Pass |
Minimum 50% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items |
| Credit |

The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally on any of their submitted work.
Supplementary assessment
There will be no supplementary or deferred tests.
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
Lab Safety: Students will be required to undergo a formal lab induction prior to starting any lab work.
In all cases of absence, sickness or personal problems, it is the student's responsibility to ensure that the unit convenor is informed. The minimum participation requirement must be met in order to pass the unit (regardless of supporting documentation).
It is important that students refer to the unit website (through 含羞草视频Learn 鈥� 含羞草视频's online learning environment) on a regular basis for any variations in the schedule and deadlines for the assessment tasks, which will be announced on the Unit Website. It is also the student's responsibility to ensure that they regularly check their 含羞草视频 email account, as electronic messages (whether via the unit's 含羞草视频Learn site or directly) will be sent to this account.
The online discussion forum on the unit's 含羞草视频Learn site is a very useful place for posting questions and students are strongly encouraged to make use of it.
