Please note staff will not respond to your emails on weekends and public holidays. (Refer to contact details on page 1 of this guide).
Commitment
As a general rule, students should expect to allocate approximately 10 hours per week to each onecredit-point unit (including contact hours where relevant).
This commitment will comprise 6 hours of private study per week in addition to 4 contact hours (in lectures and tutorials).
To be successful in this unit, you must:
- Read all materials in preparation for your classes or seminars, and follow up each with further study and research on the topic;
- Start your assessment tasks well ahead of the due date;
- Read or listen to all feedback carefully, and use it in your future work; Attend and engage in all timetabled learning experiences.
Computer Access
Access to the University’s IT facilities is governed by the Conditions of Information Technology Use (refer to the Handbook at < www.deakin.edu.au/handbooks >). Failure to comply with the conditions may result in loss of access, charges being payable and/or disciplinary proceedings.
All students are expected to have private access to a personal computer, as well as access to the
Internet and email
Extensions
All applications for extensions to due dates must be made directly to your tutor prior to the due date and extension form completed available from the portal (forms). This is best done via email and appropriate documentation must be provided to support your request. Request for extensions must be made at least 48 hours prior to submission.
Presentation Requirements
All work submitted must be word processed, single sided, 1.5 line spacing, carefully proof-read for typos and grammar, referenced appropriately, and must have an assignment cover sheet attached identifying your full name, student ID number, unit name and code, word count, referencing style, lecturers name and the day and time of your class.
There are useful resources on writing assignments, including advice on academic writing and editing at: < http://www.deakin.edu.au/studentlife/academic-skills/resource-room/index.php>.
You should use the Harvard (author–date) referencing style. Guidelines for this can be found in the additional resources section of the Study Guide, and the following:
http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/studying/study-support/referencing/harvard
Deakin University’s Guide to assignment writing and referencing, available at http://www.deakin.edu.au/studentlife/academic-skills/resource-room/assign-ref.pdf.
The bibliographic database EndNote, which is available from the Deakin website
In-Trimester Assessments
It is the responsibility of a student to sit for a test/assessment on the scheduled date, according to the class they are enrolled in.
Assessment Reviews
Review of Assessment During a Trimester
During the course of a trimester, students will be provided with feedback on their performance in all assessment tasks. It is expected that students will discuss any issues directly with their lecturer.
Limited grounds for a review of assessment are available and students are referred to the Assessment Policy for further information (available from the Deakin College website). A Review of Assessment During a Trimester form must be completed and submitted within 5 working days of publication of the result for the particular piece of assessment.
Review of Assessment at the End of a Trimester
If a student reasonably believes that a final grade has not been added or processed correctly, he or she may apply for a review of final grade by completing the Review of Final Grade Application. Applications must be submitted to Deakin College Reception within 5 working days of the publication of the final results. A review of final grade involves review and checking of marks – it does NOT involve a review or remarking of individual pieces of assessment.
Special Consideration
Special Consideration may be provided to students who are prevented from performing to the best of their ability in a particular piece of assessment, including a scheduled examination, due to serious and exceptional circumstances beyond their control. Examples of such circumstances are provided in the Assessment Policy (available from the Deakin College website) and include serious illness or injury, hardship or trauma.
Students are required to complete a Special Consideration Application (available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms) and submit this to Deakin College Reception, together with supporting documentation before the assessment due date, or within 3 working days after the submission/timetabled date of the relevant piece of assessment. Page 3 (‘Health Practitioner Certificate’) of the Special Consideration Application must be completed by a health practitioner for applications on medical, health or psychological grounds. Please refer to the Assessment Policy for further information.
Students who require an assignment extension should not apply for special consideration but must complete a Request for Extension of Assignment Dues Date form (available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms).
Academic Misconduct
Students should familiarise themselves with the Academic Integrity Policy (available from the Deakin College website). Academic misconduct is a serious offence in academia. These include plagiarism, collusion, cheating and ‘misrepresentations’ (which includes falsification of documents). Penalties will be applied consistently with the Academic Integrity Policy.
Plagiarism The act of presenting the work of another person(s) as though it is one’s own original work, whether intentionally or by accident, without proper reference of the original source or sources.
Collusion Work that is produced in part or in whole by unauthorised collaboration with other person(s) which is then presented by any of the parties as their own work.
Cheating Any dishonest conduct whether in an assessment or in any representation. For example, communication with another student during an examination, having unauthorised notes during an examination – the notes may be on or in an object, a data storage device or on any part of the body, or ‘contract cheating’, which is the purchasing work or commissioning another person or website to produce a work which is then passed off as your own.
Misrepresentation As assertion by words, conduct or non-disclosure of information which creates a false status or is not consistent with the facts.
Whenever you refer to another person’s research or ideas (whether by directly quoting or by paraphrasing them) you MUST acknowledge that source. Copying paragraphs from the internet and presenting them as your own work is plagiarism. If you download and copy paragraphs from the internet, you must identify the source.
You MUST acknowledge the sources that you have drawn on. This is a necessary courtesy to the original authors, and also allows the readers of your work to follow up on any points that you have raised.
If you directly copy another writer’s phrase, sentence or paragraph, then you should use quotation marks and note the source of the quote. If you use another writer’s ideas, but not his or her exact words, you should again note the source. There are a number of ways by which you can refer to other people’s work.
The main referencing method used at Deakin College is the Harvard referencing method, which involves noting the author’s name, the title of the article and journal, or book, the year of publication, the journal’s volume number, the book publisher’s name and location, and the relevant page numbers.
A copy of Guide to Assignment Writing and Referencing is available on the Deakin University website:
http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support/referencing/harvard Assignment Submission
Assignments must be submitted by the due date. The Assignment Cover Sheet (available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms), must be submitted and signed when submitting a hard copy assignment. It should be attached it to their assignment and then submitted with the completed assignment as outlined in the assignment details. (Assignments will not be accepted at Deakin College Reception).
Students must keep a copy of each assignment submitted and must be able to produce the copy in the unlikely event that the original assignment is misplaced. Students must maintain backup copies of all their assignment work. Electronic loss of data is common, but is NOT a satisfactory excuse for an extension of a submission date.
Any work that you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting collusion and/or plagiarism. It is Deakin College policy that the period between submission and marking of assignments should not normally exceed fifteen (15) working days to allow for timely feedback to students on their progress.
Late Submission of Assignments
Extension of an assignment submission date
If there is a compelling reason why you are unable to complete your assignment before the due date you should complete a Request for Extension of Assignment Due Date form, available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms and submit it to your unit coordinator. This must be done at least 48 hours before the assignment due date.
Penalties for late submissions
Assignments received late and without prior approval will be penalised. A penalty of 5% of the total available marks will be deducted for every day the assignment is late. Assignments submitted more than 5 working days after the due date will be awarded a mark of zero.
Learning Support
Students have access to group-oriented and individual learning support at Deakin College. During each trimester, students can attend a series of study skills workshops conducted both at Deakin College and Deakin University on topics such as time management, avoiding plagiarism, referencing, academic writing, critical thinking and exam preparation.
Students can book individual consultations with the Deakin College Academic Skills Advisor. They can also access the Deakin University Language and Learning Drop-in Centre. All students have access to the Academic Skills Moodle site which contains a number of resources to improve students’ study skills and language proficiency.
Grading system
All students enrolled in any unit will be graded according to Deakin College’s standard grading system as follows:

Changes to Enrolment
Enrolment changes can be made through the student portal until 5.00 pm Friday of the second week of the trimester.
- Withdrawal from any unit or course before the end of week 4 of a trimester will not incur an academic penalty. Fees paid for the unit(s) will be credited to the following trimester. Fees will be forfeited for any withdrawal after week 4;
- Withdrawal from any unit or course between weeks 5 and 8 of a trimester will incur a grade of W (Withdrawn). This grade does not incur an academic penalty;
- Withdrawal from any unit or course between weeks 9 and 12 of a trimester will incur a grade of WN (Withdrawn Fail). This grade will incur an academic penalty and a student’s course progress will be assessed at the end of the trimester by the Board of Examiners;
- Overseas students are required to maintain a full time enrolment. Therefore, if a withdrawal from one or more units constitutes a part time enrolment, withdrawal from such units will not be permissible.
Class Attendance
Deakin College takes attendance seriously. Attendance is an important element of a student’s success in their studies and it is strongly recommended that attendance is maintained in all classes. All work covered in class is examinable.
Attendance will be recorded in all sessions and students should make themselves aware of the Attendance Policy (available from the Deakin College website).
Where alternative classes exist for a unit, students are permitted to attend a maximum of two alternative classes per unit during the trimester. Students should collect a Lecturer Attendance Variation Form available from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms or from reception and submit this to the lecturer of the alternate class to sign and verify their attendance. The signed and verified form must be submitted to Reception by the student within 7 days after the initial scheduled class.
Medical certificates are not required to be submitted to Deakin College to explain occasional absences from class or short-term illness. However, where ‘compassionate and compelling’ circumstances exist, for example, serious illness or injury, trauma, or bereavement of close family members, an Explained Absence Form can be submitted to Deakin College Reception with your evidence within 7 days of the absence so that attendance records can be adjusted to show that compelling or compassionate circumstances occurred. This does not change an ‘absence’ to an ‘attendance’ – it merely indicates that compelling or compassionate circumstances occurred which explain a student’s absence. Please refer to the Attendance Policy for more information.
Student Evaluation of this Unit
At the end of trimester students will be asked to evaluate all of the units they have studied during the trimester. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the Student Evaluation form for this unit and give feedback.
All ratings and comments are read and given careful consideration following completion of each trimester and inform the changes which may be introduced in subsequent trimesters.
