ALL students are required to submit their final report via Turnitin (in the assessment submission space on iLearn). If the student has an approved local or regional activity, they are required to email FSE PACE their final report only to pace.science@mq.edu.au. FSE PACE will check iParticipate for actioned timesheets and the completed student evaluation.

If you have any questions about the above assessment update, please contact the PACE team at pace.science@mq.edu.au.

Submission links and due dates can also be found in the ENGG4099/ENGG8099 iLearn site under the Key Dates section.

If you commenced a placement in Session 2, 2019 or later, please refer to the ENGG8099 Fact Sheet on iLearn for information on tracking and reporting your activity (only the report, item 3 below, is required to be submitted via iLearn).

Successful completion of this unit requires submission of the above documents by the specified deadline. To pass the unit, students must satisfactorily complete each of the three assessment tasks.

Students submitting an incomplete or unsatisfactory submission will be given one (and only one) opportunity to resubmit revised document(s) before the specified deadline. If the second submission is also unsatisfactory and/or incomplete, the student may receive a Fail (F) or Continuing (K) grade. No further resubmissions will be permitted during that session. The student must then resubmit the required documents and complete the unit in a future session.

Late submissions will not be accepted unless there are exceptional circumstances. For example, students who miss the Session 1 submission deadline must submit their documents to the Winter Vacation ENGG8099 iLearn submission site, where they will be assessed and graded at the end of the Winter Vacation session. Students should be aware that this may delay graduation or completion of their degree requirements. Meeting deadlines is an essential professional expectation in industry; therefore, submission deadlines will be strictly enforced.

All submissions will be assessed at the end of the session during the examination marking period, and grades will be released in accordance with the University's standard grade release schedule. Requests for early marking or grading will not be considered unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Students who satisfactorily complete all unit requirements will receive an S (Satisfactory) grade.

A student who neither completes the requirements for ENGG8099 in the enrolled session nor fails the unit will receive a K (Continuing) grade. This allows the enrolment to remain active until the requirements for ENGG8099 are completed in a future session, provided this occurs within two years of the initial enrolment. The University reserves the right to amend this time limit.

ENGG4099 is a PACE unit. PACE stands for Professional and Community Engagement. By connecting students with partner organisations, PACE gives Macquarie students the chance to contribute their academic learning, enthusiasm and fresh perspective to the professional workplace.

• PACE is Macquarie's way of integrating practical experience into your degree so it gives you the chance to work with different communities, and ultimately gives you the edge in your career.
• PACE is a key component of the University's strategic direction, emphasising the University's commitment to excellence in research, learning and teaching, and community engagement. It is the third pillar of the undergraduate curriculum; People, Planet and Participation.
• PACE units provide an academic framework through which students can engage with the community, learn through participation, develop their capabilities and build on the skills that employers value. By completing a PACE unit, students develop all these skills and capabilities, and also gain academic credit towards their degree.
• In this unit, you will undertake a PACE activity – the experiential component of a PACE unit whereby students engage with the community through Participation. The activity may be carried out in a variety of modes such as block (a concentrated period) or over the course of the whole semester (e.g. limited hours per week), depending on the design of the unit. Similarly, the timing of the PACE activity for each student or group of students may be different depending on arrangements with a community-based partner.
