How your final result is determined

The grade that you receive for this unit will be determined by a committee ofexaminers. The raw marks that you receive from each piece of assessable material will

be combined in order to determine a letter grade for the unit (see Assessment

Schedule for per cent weighting). The raw marks may undergo a scaling process.

Assessments will be awarded a grade from HD to NN in accordance with a criterion

based grading system (see BE Course Rules). This will be based on an assessment matrix(to be handed out at least three weeks before the assignment due date), which identifiesthe level of performance by indicative characteristics associated with each level against

each criterion. The criterion based grading system will provide students with the following grades for each assignment, with the final grade obtained by combining the grades of the assessments in line with allocated weighting.

Grade

HD- to HD+

DN- to DN+

CR- to CR+

PP- to PP+

NN (Fail)

To pass the unit, students must obtain at least 50% for the coursework component

and 50% for the exam.

Submission of assignments

All assignments, reports, etc. must be completed using the template provided on the

AMC website (http://www.amc.edu.au/beng.templates) unless otherwise specified bythe lecturer. All coursework must have the AMC Assignment Cover Sheet attached.

All assignments and reports must be typed and completed using Word, Excel,

approved Engineering drawing software and include the relevant theory,illustrations, results, analysis, and conclusion.

Group reports must be signed by all participants.

Assignments and reports must be placed in the lecturer’s assignment box by the duedates (ground floor in the Swanson Building).

Electronic submissions are not acceptable (unless otherwise instructed by the lecturer).The assessed work will be returned during lecture or as agreed between the studentsand the lecturer.

Please remember that you are responsible for lodging your coursework on or before

the due date. We strongly recommend that you keep a copy. Even in the most ‘perfect’of systems, items sometimes go astray.


http://www.amc.edu.au/beng.templates






Requests for extensions

Extensions will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds. Requests for

extensions should be made via email to the lecturer prior to the due date. Medicalcertificates or other evidence must be included (electronically or the hard copy mailed)

and must contain information which justifies the extension sought.

Penalties

Late assignments which have not been granted an extension will, at the lecturer’s

discretion, be penalised by deducting ten per cent of total marks for each day overdue. Assignments submitted more than five days late will normally not be accepted by thelecturer.

Failure to adhere with the WH&S standards whilst taking part in any assessed

activity that involves field trips and/or that requires the use of UTAS or AMC

facilities will result in the following penalties:

• first offense - 5% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team projects);

• second offense by student (or another member of the same team in team projects) - 20% penalty (applicable to the whole team in team project); and

• third offense - a fail grade in the assessment.

Review of results and appeals

If you have questions about, or problems with, your assessment you should discussthis with the following people:

(1) The person who marked the assessment.

(2) Unit Coordinator.

(3) Course Coordinator.

(4) Deputy Director (Students and Education), NCMEH.(5) Director, NCMEH.

If this does not resolve the issue, you may file a formal appeal. The procedure is given

Academic referencing

In your written work you will need to support your ideas by referring to scholarlyliterature, works of art and/or inventions. It is important that you understand how tocorrectly refer to the work of others, and how to maintain academic integrity.

Failure to appropriately acknowledge the ideas of others constitutes academicdishonesty (plagiarism), a matter considered by the University of Tasmania as a

serious offence.

The University library provides information on presentation of assignments, including

referencing styles and should be referred to when completing tasks in thisunit: http://utas.libguides.com/referencing

Please read the following statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarificationplease see your unit coordinator or lecturer.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else'sthoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own; for

example, using an author's words without putting them in quotation

marks and citing the source, using an author's ideas without properacknowledgment and citation, copying another student's work.

If you have any doubts about how to refer to the work of others in your

assignments, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing

guidelines. You may also find the Academic Honesty site on MyLO ofassistance: https://mylo.utas.edu.au/d2l/home/83246

The intentional copying of someone else’s work as one’s own is a seriousoffence punishable by penalties that may range from a fine or

deduction/cancellation of marks and, in the most serious of cases, toexclusion from a unit, a course or the University.

The University and any persons authorised by the University may

submit your assessable works to a plagiarism checking service, to

obtain a report on possible instances of plagiarism. Assessable works may also be included in a reference database. It is a

condition of this arrangement that the original author’s

permission is required before a work within the database can be

viewed.

For further information on this statement and general referencing guidelines, see

the Plagiarism and Academic Integrity page on the University web site orthe Academic Honesty site on MyLO.

Academic misconduct

Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, allowing another student to copy work for an assignment or an examination, and any other conduct by which a student:

a.

seeks to gain, for themselves or for any other person, any academic advantageor advancement to which they or that other person are not entitled; or

b. improperly disadvantages any other student.

Students engaging in any form of academic misconduct may be dealt with under theOrdinance of Student Discipline, and this can include imposition of penalties thatrange from a deduction/cancellation of marks to exclusion from a unit or the

University. Details of penalties that can be imposed are available in Ordinance 9:Student Discipline – Part 3 Academic Misconduct.
