General Assessment Information

Assessment Presentation and Submission Guidelines

Please follow these guidelines when you submit each assignment:

Allow a left and right-hand margin of at least 2cm in all assignments.
Please type all assignments using 12-point font and 1.5 spacing.
All assessments must be submitted through Turnitin in .doc or .pdf format
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all assessments are successfully submitted through Turnitin.
Faculty assignment cover sheets are NOTrequired.

Draft Submissions & Turnitin Originality Reports

Students may use Turnitin’s Originality Report as a learning tool to improve their academic writing if this option is made available in the unit.
Students are strongly encouraged to upload a draft copy of each assessment to Turnitin at least one week prior to the due date to obtain an Originality Report.
The Originality Report provides students with a similarity index that may indicate if plagiarism has occurred. Students will be able to make amendments to their drafts prior to their final submission on the due date.
Generally, one Originality Report is generated every 24 hours up to the due date.

Please note:

Students should regularly save a copy of all assignments before submission,

Students are responsible for checking that their submission has been successful and has been submitted by the due date and time.

Assignment extensions and late penalties

In general, there should be no need for extensions except through illness or misadventure that would be categorised as serious and unavoidable disruption according to the University definition of same, see: https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special-consideration

Applications for extensions must be made via AskMQ according to the Special Consideration policy. Extensions can only be granted if they meet the Special Considerations policy and are submitted viahttps://ask.mq.edu.au/. This will ensure consistency in the consideration of such requests is maintained.

Late submissions without extension will receive a penalty of 5% reduction of the total possible mark for each day late (including weekends and public holidays). You are reminded that submitting even just 1 day late could be the difference between passing and failing a unit. Late penalties are applied by unit convenors or their delegates after tasks are assessed.

No assessable work will be accepted after the return/release of marked work on the same topic. If a student is still permitted to submit on the basis of unavoidable disruption, an alternative topic may be set.

Students should keep an electronic file of all assessments. Claims regarding "lost" assessments cannot be made if the file cannot be produced. It is also advisable to keep an electronic file of all drafts and the final submission on a USB untouched/unopened after submission. This can be used to demonstrate easily that the assessment has not been amended after the submission date.

Requesting a re-assessment of an assignment

If you have evidencethat your task has been incorrectly assessed against the grade descriptors you can request a re-mark. To request a re-mark you need to contact the unit convenor within 7 days of the date of return of the assignment and provide a detailed assessment of your script against the task criteria. Evidence from your assignment must be provided to support your judgements.

Note: Failed assessments cannot be re-marked as they are all double-marked as a part of the moderation process.

Please note: The outcome of a re-mark may be a higher/lower or unchanged grade. Grades are standards referencedand effort is NOT a criterion.

ASSET survey

Due: Varies
Weighting: 5%

Description: Completing the Annual Student Survey of Education for Teaching (ASSET) forms part of the assessment for this unit. The ASSET will provide the Department of Educational Studies with a detailed understanding of our students and their experiences; including, who they are, their attitudes and beliefs about education, and how prepared they feel to work as teachers. In addition, as part of the registration of the Department of Educational Studies teacher preparation programs with the NSW Education Standards Authority, we are specifically required to collect impact data on programs. The proposed annual survey will serve the purpose of providing part of these mandatory data. Further, it will provide the Department of Educational Studies with valuable information to revise and improve the programs offered to students. Finally, you may elect to make your de-identified data available to researchers in the Department if you choose.

Please note that identifying data will only be held by the Department of Educational Studies Research Administrator, Mridul Sood, and will not be released to the unit convenor or any academic staff in the Department. Full information is available when you open the survey.

The survey is in 5 parts and you will be awarded 1% for completion of each part for each unit in which you are enrolled that includes ASSET as part of the assessment. Please make absolutely sure that you select ALL the relevant units in which you are enrolled when completing each survey.

After finishing each survey, you will be presented with a screen that confirms your successful submission along with a recommendation that you screenshot this confirmation. In addition, an automated emailed confirmation of completion will be sent to the email address you nominate. To minimise the risk of this email being diverted to your spam folder, please add noreply@mq.edu.au and trigger@qemailserver.com to your email white list. If you have not received the email, please check your spam folder.

NOTE THAT EITHER THE SCREENSHOT OR EMAIL ARE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION IN CASE OF DISPUTE. YOU DO NOT NEED BOTH.

Participation marks will be uploaded AFTER the final date for completion for each part of the survey into the Grades section of iLearn. Marks will normally be uploaded within a week of the final completion date and an announcement will be made on iLearn when the participation marks are available.

If your convenor allows display of marks in the Grades section of iLearn, completion of each survey will be indicated by a mark of “1” and noncompletion by a mark of “0”. If your convenor has iLearn setup to display grades only, completion of the survey will be indicated by a “HD” and noncompletion by a “F”.

If you have any difficulties accessing the survey or questions regarding participation marks, please contact the Department of Educational Studies Research Administrator, Mridul Sood, at des_research@mq.edu.au. When making enquiries please ensure that the following information is included in your email:
