In order to pass this unit a student must obtain a mark of 50 or more for the unit (i.e. obtain a passing grade P/ CR/ D/ HD). There are no hurdle assessments.

Students enrolled in this unit with all written assessments will have the following university standard late penalty applied. Please see https://teche.mq.edu.au/2022/07/standardised-late-submission-rules-come-into-force-for-s2-2022-onwards/

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, a penalty of 5% of the total possible mark of the task will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a grade of '0' (zero) will be awarded even if the student submits the assessment. This is to allow for the release of assessment feedback to the remaining class. Submission time for written assessments is set at 11:55 pm on Sunday of the due week. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical concern.

Where a student has a special consideration application for an extension approved, then the rules are applied to the new approved due date for that student.

In this unit, late submissions will be accepted as follows:

• Weekly quiz, two asssignments and two practical labs – YES, Standard Late Penalty applies • Mid-session test and final examination – NO, unless special consideration is granted

All assessments will be graded according to standards set in the marking rubrics. Students will receive a numerical grade for each assessment which will be representative of a fail (0-49%), pass (50-64%), credit (65-74%), distinction (75-84%) or high distinction (85-100%) as defined by the university standards based assessment guidelines. The definitions of these standards will be posted on the iLearn page. All marking rubrics specific to each assessment will be released on the iLearn page indicating requirements to achieve a particular standard. These will be released well in advance of the assessment due date or are specified below.

Weekly Quiz (10/100) Each tutorial will typically consist of 4 questions. In addition, students will also receive 1 tutorial question as a weekly quiz. Students must individually attempt the weekly quiz and submit the answer on iLearn by that week. Students will receive either a fail grade for incorrect methodology and incorrect answer, a pass grade for sound methodology but incorrect answer, or up to a high distinction grade for sound methodology and correct answer. A maximum of 1 mark (out of 100 available for the unit) is available for each of the tutorial sessions from weeks 3-7 and 9-13.

Assignments (30/100)

Assignment 1: (10/100) This individually marked assignment will test the student’s ability to apply and critically interpret the course material related to introductory concepts in heat transfer by conduction. The assignment will involve a combination of analytical calculations, design and report writing. A rubric will be provided with the assessment handout.

Assignment 2: (20/100) This assignment will test students’s ability to conceptually design a practical system for heat convection. Students will design a system based on analytical calculations, whilst making considerations for suitable prototype, develop a series of theoretical results and suggest methods of the improvement in practical application. A rubric will be provided with the assessment handout.

Practical Laboratory Sessions (20/100)

Two individual lab reports written for two unique experiments. Attendance of practical classes is MANDATORY before submitting the lab reports. Lab reports submitted without attending the practical session will get a grade of ‘0’ (zero) even if the assessment is submitted by the due date. A special consideration request must be submitted and approved if any student is unable to attend a practical session to organize alternative arrangements. Precise details on time and location will be advised via the iLearn page. Both laboratory reports will be assessed according to a rubric to be made available on the iLearn page.

Laboratory Report 1: (10/100) The first practical will demonstrate the operation of heat exchangers. Students will test a particular heat exchanger design, acquire data, and compare to theoretical evalution of heat exchanger performance. A laboratory report is then handed in.

Laboratory Report 2: (10/100) The second practical will demonstrate experimental techniques used to take measurements of conduction and convection. The data collected will be presented and interpreted along with some theoretical calculations. A laboratory report is then handed in.

Final Examinations (40/100)

A final examination (2h) assessing all material (weeks 1-13) delivered throughout the unit.

If you receive special consideration for the final exam, a supplementary exam will be scheduled in the supplementary examination period. By making a special consideration application for the final exam you are declaring yourself available for a resit during the supplementary examination period and will not be eligible for a second special consideration approval based on pre-existing commitments. Please ensure you are familiar with the policy prior to submitting an application. Approved applicants will receive an individual notification one week prior to the exam with the exact date and time of their supplementary examination.
