Additional Assessment Information

Assessment Drop-ins: Are scheduled during semester to provide support to students in completing assessment items (refer to Canvas for details). By attending these sessions, students will have the opportunity to clarify the requirements of the assessment item and understand the marking rubric. Teaching staff will not review drafts or provide specific feedback on the content of student work. 

Discussion Boards: Clarification regarding assessments can be obtained by posting on Canvas discussion boards. Questions raised on discussion boards will be responded to during business hours as indicated by the unit convener at the start of semester. Please consider this if your assessment is due on the weekend. Staff will not respond to questions regarding assessment items raised by email unless relating to a personal matter.

Learning Conversations: 15-minute online meetings will be offered to students who want to discuss the application of feedback from assessments to future learning. The process for organising a learning conversation will be announced on Canvas when assessment grades are released.

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.
