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. Practical Assessment 15%
2. Practical Assessment 35%
3. Online Test 50%

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
Don't make it so easy for students to complete the assignments.
Recommendation
Introduce an open-ended assessment component that allows students to choose and implement additional features in their ASP.NET Core web applications, enabling them to adjust the task complexity and better demonstrate advanced skills within defined guidelines.
Action Taken
This recommendation has been implemented. Assessments 1 and 2 in T2, 2024, were made more open-ended, allowing students to implement additional features. Assessments have also been made more industry-focused by allowing students to choose any Australian-based business for their assignment (including charities based in Australia).
