Notes on Assessment: All assignments are expected to be completed independently. Plagiarism results in a FAIL grade being recorded. Laboratory assignments will involve developing code and will be assessed on meeting the requirements of the laboratory, correctness, style and presentation. The ability to modify and answer questions about the submitted code may be tested. The lab assistants will mark each student’s work during the nominated lab. Lab assignments will only be marked during lab times. The detailed rules for the marking of laboratory exercises and their due dates will be covered in the first lecture. In brief, a laboratory assignment has three levels of completion: advanced (up to 6 marks), standard (up to 5 marks) and core (3.75 marks). An assignment will only be marked for completion to advanced level on its due date. An assignment will only be marked for completion to standard level (at up to 5 marks) on its due date. An assignment may be marked for completion to standard level (at up to 4.5 marks) one week after its due date. An assignment may be marked for completion to core level (at 3.75 marks) on or after its due date. A student may submit at most one assignment for marking each laboratory session. A student must not submit assignment N for marking unless they have already completed assignment N – 1 to core level. Assignments are marked during a time period to be announced by the subject coordinator (expected to be the second hour of each lab). Lab assignments will only be marked during the announced lab time periods. Electronic Submission of Assessment Items: Unless otherwise notified by the subject coordinator, all written assignments must be submitted electronically. Assessment General: Submission of assessment items via email will not be accepted. Other Procedures for the submission of assessment items: All assignments will be marked in the lab. Technical Fail

To be eligible for a Pass in this subject a student must achieve a mark of at least 40% in the final exam. Students who fail to achieve this minimum mark & would have otherwise passed may be given a TF (Technical Fail) for this subject. Supplementary Exams 1. A student whose overall performance results in a TF will only be granted a supplementary assessment task (e.g. a supplementary exam or a supplementary assignment) if approved by the school assessment committee. 2. A student who achieves a mark of 48-49% will normally be eligible for a grade of WS and a supplementary exam organised by the University. In this case, the maximum grade attainable is PS (Pass Supplementary) and a mark of 50%. 3. A student who has successfully applied for academic consideration will receive either: a. A WD - Withheld Deferred Exam - and be allowed to sit only a supplementary exam, which will be supervised by the University or b. A WH – Withheld – and be allowed to sit a supplementary exam not supervised by the University or complete some other supplementary task 4. If a student is being investigated for misconduct and the investigation cannot be completed before the grades are released the student will receive a grade of WH until a mark is declared. Procedure for the return of assessment items: Marks for assessments will be given in the final part of each assessable laboratory. Penalties for late submission of assessment items: Penalties apply to all late work, except if student academic consideration has been granted. Late submissions will attract a penalty of 100% of the assessment mark. Tutorial/Lab Closure Policy If for any reason, the number of students in a tutorial or lab falls below a sustainable enrolment level, as determined by the Head of School, tutorials/labs offered for that subject may be collapsed or deleted. You will have to attend the new tutorials/lab if this closure affects the one you are attending. We will endeavour to make this decision no later than Week 4 of session. Exams Exams will be run in accordance with UOW Exam rules, please refer to changes to exams and grades at: http://www.uow.edu.au/student/exams/UOW115867.html Supplementary Exams The School does not offer a supplementary exam to a student who has sat a scheduled exam. Supplementary Exams will be dealt with in accordance with student academic consideration policy

( http://www.uow.edu.au/about/policy/UOW060110.html ) 9.2 Timing of Supplementary Exams. While the School normally grants supplementary exams when the student does not sit the standard exam for an acceptable reason, each case will be assessed on its own merit and there is no guarantee a supplementary exam will be granted. If a supplementary exam is granted, you will normally be notified via SOLS Mail the time and date of this supplementary exam. You must follow the instructions given in the email message. Please note that if this is your last session and you are granted a supplementary exam, be aware that your results will not be processed in time to meet the graduation deadline. Student Academic Consideration Policy The School recognises that it has a responsibility to ensure equity and consistency across its subjects for all students. Sometimes, in exceptional circumstances, students need to apply for student academic consideration in order to complete all assessable work. The University applies strict criteria to the granting of student academic consideration. Before applying for student academic consideration, students should carefully read the University’s policy which can be found at: http://www.uow.edu.au/about/policy/UOW058721.html Plagiarism When you submit an assessment task, you are declaring the following 1. It is your own work and you did not collaborate with or copy from others. 2. You have read and understand your responsibilities under the University of Wollongong's policy on plagiarism. 3. You have not plagiarised from published work (including the internet). Where you have used the work from others, you have referenced it in the text and provided a reference list at the end to the assignment. Students must remember that: Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Students are responsible for submitting original work for assessment, without plagiarising or cheating, abiding by the University’s Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Policy as set out in the University Handbook, the University's online Policy Directory and in Faculty handbooks and subject guides. Re-using any of your own work (either in part or in full) which you have submitted previously for assessment is not permitted without appropriate acknowledgement - Plagiarism has led to the expulsion from the University. Student Academic Grievance Policy The School aims to provide a fair, equitable and productive learning environment for all its students. The Student Academic Grievance Policy seeks to support the achievement of this goal by providing a transparent and consistent process for resolving student academic grievances. Any student who has a grievance over a result should obtain a Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences Appeal Against Decision or Action Affecting Academic Experience form from the EIS Central. ( http://www.uow.edu.au/about/policy/UOW058653.html ) The student should firstly take the form to the marker/lecturer to discuss the matter and, if the student is still not satisfied, s/he should take the next step as outlined

file:///C|/Users/sueli/Desktop/Subject%20outlines%20approved/ISIT114%20Object%20Oriented%20Programming.htm[23/07/2014 8:49:59 AM]

ISIT114

on the form. Once the grievance has been considered by the Faculty, if the student still feels the situation has not been fully resolved s/he may consult the Dean of Students. However, the Dean of Students can have no input into the academic judgment of the lecturer and can only review the grievance to ensure proper procedure has been followed. Relevant University Policies, procedures and students services: For more information students must refer to the Course Handbook, relevant online references or consult the UOW General Course Rules in full http://www.uow.edu.au/about/policy/UOW058680.html which contains a range of policies on educational issues and student matters.
