Submission of assessment items
Special assessment requirements
To Pass the Unit, you will need to satisfy the following conditions:
- Complete the following assessments including Quiz1, Quiz2, Case Study with Programming problems and Programming project including presentaions and interview, and there should be no outstanding resubmissions by Friday of week 12.
- The student's final grade is based on the Total Mark, obtained as the sum of all the assessment items Quiz 1, Quiz 2, Lab Work, Case Study with Programming problems and Programming Project.
- In the case of illness, misadventure, or unavoidable commitments at the scheduled time of an examination, students should contact the Unit Convener as soon as possible. (Well in advance if possible).
- You must achieve at least 50% marks overall of the available marks in the Unit.

Once the above conditions have been satisfied, grades will be awarded as per the following table:
| Grade |
The formula for Grade Calculation |
| HD |
Total Mark ≥ 85 AND Project Assessment ≥ 50 |
| DI |
Total Mark ≥ 75 AND Project Assessment ≥ 50 |
| CR |
Total Mark ≥ 65 AND Project Assessment ≥ 50 |
| P |
Total Mark ≥ 50 AND Project Assessment ≥ 50 |
| NX |
Total Mark < 50 OR Project Assessment < 50 |
Supplementary assessment
Supplementary assessment is not offered in this unit unless required by the relevant university policy.
Assessment
- The student final grade is the sum of all the assessment items.
- The unit convenor reserves the right to question students on any of their submitted work for moderation and academic integrity purposes, which may result in an adjustment to the marks awarded for a specific task.
- Please note that Suspected academic misconduct will be referred to an appropriate prescribed authority (such as the ADE) under the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ (Student Conduct) Rules 2023 for all assessment activities in this unit.
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ. 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.
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ 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 º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
