Our graduates will also be capable of creative thinking and of creating knowledge. They will be imaginative and open to experience and capable of innovation at work and in the community. We want them to be engaged in applying their critical, creative thinking.
This graduate capability is supported by:
Our graduates will have enquiring minds and a literate curiosity which will lead them to pursue knowledge for its own sake. They will continue to pursue learning in their careers and as they participate in the world. They will be capable of reflecting on their experiences and relationships with others and the environment, learning from them, and growing - personally, professionally and socially.
This graduate capability is supported by:
Our graduates will take with them the intellectual development, depth and breadth of knowledge, scholarly understanding, and specific subject content in their chosen fields to make them competent and confident in their subject or profession. They will be able to demonstrate, where relevant, professional technical competence and meet professional standards. They will be able to articulate the structure of knowledge of their discipline, be able to adapt discipline-specific knowledge to novel situations, and be able to contribute from their discipline to inter-disciplinary solutions to problems.
This graduate capability is supported by:
We want our graduates to be capable of reasoning, questioning and analysing, and to integrate and synthesise learning and knowledge from a range of sources and environments; to be able to critique constraints, assumptions and limitations; to be able to think independently and systemically in relation to scholarly activity, in the workplace, and in the world. We want them to have a level of scientific and information technology literacy.
This graduate capability is supported by:
Our graduates should be capable of researching; of analysing, and interpreting and assessing data and information in various forms; of drawing connections across fields of knowledge; and they should be able to relate their knowledge to complex situations at work or in the world, in order to diagnose and solve problems. We want them to have the confidence to take the initiative in doing so, within an awareness of their own limitations.
This graduate capability is supported by:
We want to develop in our students the ability to communicate and convey their views in forms effective with different audiences. We want our graduates to take with them the capability to read, listen, question, gather and evaluate information resources in a variety of formats, assess, write clearly, speak effectively, and to use visual communication and communication technologies as appropriate.
This graduate capability is supported by:
Students are required to attend all four language classes and are expected to participate actively in all classes. The language of instruction will be Italian and students are expected to interact in the target language. The participation mark will reflect students’ commitment to practice the language and their commitment to completing the non-graded assignments (compiti senza voto) in self-study mode. Students are expected to regularly access iLearn for extra revision and task completion. Those who do not have a computer at home can work in the University’s computer labs. It is expected that all External students use a computer, preferably with high-speed internet to facilitate access to the online resources. Homework is to be completed on a continual basis. Language-learning is cumulative, and it is in students’ best interest to regularly complete homework tasks. In addition to the graded assignments (compito con voto), students are expected to regularly complete the compito senza voto as outlined in the programme, using the answer keys provided. Note: The tasks set from Azione grammatica may not always correspond exactly to the grammar learned in Espresso. The tasks from Azione grammatica are intended to extend your understanding and usage of Italian grammar. Written assignments are to be typed and double-spaced. This is necessary for marking purposes. Hand-written assignments will only be accepted by previous arrangement with the lecturer. Class work will encompass the study of one contemporary film which is available for independent student viewing in the library. Students will need to view the entire film at some stage during the semester in order to complete one of the written assignments as indicated in the study programme. |

PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS MUST PASS THE FINAL EXAM IN ORDER TO PASS THE UNIT Attendance at all classes is compulsory for on-campus students. This applies particularly to tests. You will only be permitted to make up for a missed test in exceptional circumstances such as illness (Medical certificate required). An adequate explanation for any classes missed must be given to your tutor. A poor attendance record may result in exclusion from the final examination. Ongoing work commitments are no valid reason for missing classes.If you miss a class it is your responsibility to contact a classmate for the details of the class in order to catch up on work missed and prepare for the next lesson. Assignments: Assignments are compulsory and must be submitted on time. As a general rule, extensions will not be granted without a valid and documented reason (e.g. medical certificate). Late submissions will be penalised by 5% for each day (including weekends) the assignment task is late. No assignments will be accepted after assignments have been corrected and feedback has been provided. Assignment tasks handed in early will not be marked and returned before the due date. Preparation: Students are expected to prepare the course work to be covered in class in advance, as set out in programs or announced in class. It is expected that for ever contact hour students will study and practice one hour on their own. For external students this means that you need to dedicate at least 8 hours per week to the study of Italian. Punctuality: Please arrive on time for classes. Arriving late is very disruptive. All classes start five minutes past the hour. If you should arrive late, it is your responsibility to find out what you have missed. Examination Period: Students enrolled in units that require them to sit for compulsory examinations (to be held during business hours) during the official examination period must not arrange to go away before the end of the exam period. Exams could be scheduled for Saturdays during that period. Do not expect that alternative examination arrangements can be made for you. The only exceptions to this are: a) members of the armed forces who must go away on duty; b) students representing Australia or the University in a national or international sporting or cultural event; c) students proceeding to a period of study in a foreign country, associated with their Macquarie program of study.

Assignments are to be your own work. Using someone else's words (either another student's, from a book, a journal article or a website) without clear acknowledgement is plagiarism and can incur serious penalties. The University defines plagiarism in its rules: “Plagiarism involves using the work of another person and presenting it as one’s own.” Plagiarism is a serious breach of the University’s rules and carries significant penalties. Information about plagiarism can be found in the Handbook of Undergraduate Studies, on the web at http://www.student.mq.edu.au/plagiarism and on the Division cover sheet, which you must sign before you submit your assignments. If you are in doubt consult your lecturer or tutor. |
The university has a set of guidelines on the distribution of grades across the range from fail to high distinction.
The guidelines are designed to ensure comparability across the University. Scaled marks, raw marks or grades are given to students on each assessment task. This is part of the learning feedback. The marks or grades on the assessment tasks are combined into a raw score in the unit, following the distribution of possible marks indicated in the Unit study guide, but the raw score is only an interim stage in the final calculation of the final grade. A scaling process is used to convert the raw score to the final scaled marks (standardized numerical grades or SNGs), using the guidelines for grading as moderators. The scaled marks indicate that students have satisfied the criteria for inclusion in a particular performance band and rank them by the performance within the band. The scaling process preserves the rank order of the marks. There is no simple arithmetical relationship between raw marks and scaled marks. The relationship will almost always differ between units and between different performance bands within the same unit. |
The University provides many different kinds of support services for you. Contact your tutor if you need help and see the range of services (such as counseling and writing skills) available at http://www.student.mq.edu.au. |
HOMEWORK AND ASSESSMENT OUTLINES ITL 310
COMPITO SENZA VOTO
Each week external students will need to work through exercises from Espresso (textbook and esercizi supplementari) and/or from Azione grammatica as indicated in the course program. The exercises must be prepared in self-study mode using the answerkeys provided. Answerkeys for the exercises in the textbook Espresso and the Esercizi supplementari are at the back of the book.
The exercises in Azione grammatica provide opportunities for general revision, while the exercises in Espresso are an expansion of the grammar studied in the main chapters of the book.
Remember that language learning is cumulative, therefore the more exercises you do, the faster you will learn!
Students’ commitment to completing these exercises will be reflected in the overall participation mark.

The online quizzes will be made available over certain dates. Within that time you will be allowed to sit the quiz once only. You will have a limited amount of time to finish once you have started the quiz, so make sure you revise well before attempting to open it. If you do not have a computer at home, organise to sit the quiz on campus. The quiz results will be sent directly to your tutor. There will be a preparation quiz for you to complete so you can become used to the system. This quiz will not count towards your assessment.
The quizzes will be open from Wednesday in the week that they are due, and will close 11pm Sunday. If you miss a quiz because you are sick, you must provide a docotor’s certificate. If you miss a quiz due to technical difficulties, you must email your tutor immediately. If you have limited internet connectivity at home, plan to sit your quiz on campus. Besides the weekend, you also have a full Monday and full Friday in which to sit your quiz. Please do not sit a quiz during class time, and do not miss a class in order to finish a written assignment. Your absence will not be justified.
Please remember that the University has very strict rules in cases of plagiarism, so do not sit a quiz together and do not ask for outside help with your written assignments. Any suspicions of plagiarism will be followed up.
