Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Poster Sessions 30%
2. Research Assignment 70%

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%).

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.

Source: 'SUTE' survey
Feedback
Students indicated that having examples and the opportunity to discuss the presentation and layout of research papers was helpful for their understanding of what would be expected in their own manuscript.
Recommendation
It is recommended that examples and tutorial discussions regarding the presentation and layout of research tasks and disseminations continue, thereby allowing students to translate the learnings to their own research tasks.
Action Taken
Tutorials focused on interactive and practical research guidance. This included scaffolding of various research tasks, from data analysis to dissemination of research via oral and written presentation.
Source: 'SUTE' survey
Feedback
Students highlighted that the Moodle site was easy to follow and provided clear direction for weekly tasks.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Moodle site remain consistent in providing direction for weekly tasks relevant to the progression of students' research. Weekly 'key tasks' presented via Moodle Forum Announcements and/or email are also recommended.
Action Taken
The Moodle site remained consistent in providing direction for weekly tasks relevant to the progression of students' research. 'Key Tasks' for each week were also highlighted in weekly Forum Announcements.
Source: 'SUTE' survey
Feedback
