Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Have your say survey
The lecturer opened the weekly online lecture with a check-in around the room, asking how everyone's week was. The topic could have been work or home. He also asked further questions on people's responses, showing true interest and compassion at times. I respected the trust and honesty in the group that he created, as did everyone else on the call.
Students valued the warm, welcoming vibe of the weekly sessions, where the lecturer kicked things off with a quick check-in, giving everyone a chance to share something personal or work-related. This slight touch went a long way in building trust and connection in our fully online group. The teaching team plans to keep this up in future terms, as it creates a supportive space for learning.
Feedback from Have your say survey
Getting guest speakers was a great resource however it felt like it impacted the teaching aspect as there would be a rush to get through the weekly material.
Students liked the guest speakers but mentioned that their sessions sometimes cut into the time needed to dive into the weekly lecture material. We’re glad the industry input was a hit, but we see the need to balance the schedule better. Moving forward, we’ll plan guest speakers more carefully (slotting them into weeks with lighter content or offering their talks as separate recorded sessions) to keep the lectures in-depth and well-paced.
