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 Postgraduate 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. Written Assessment 40%
2. Online Test 20%
3. Written Assessment 40%

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: Have your say survey
Feedback
Faster turnaround times for assignment marking would be appreciated. Having access to the AWB was beneficial for experiencing industry-level software. However, clearer instructions on how to use the software would be helpful.
Recommendation
The team will look over internal marking timelines to make sure feedback gets back to students quickly, especially during busy weeks. To help students with AWB, we’ll create short guides for extra support outside of class time.
Action Taken
Due to student withdrawals prior to the census date, the unit did not proceed, however recommendations were implemented.
Source: Teaching team observation
Feedback
Explor the use of other software in this course.
Recommendation
We’ll keep evaluating alternative tools to ensure they align with the unit’s learning outcomes and industry needs. If we bring in any new platforms, students will get plenty of support and clear orientation materials to help them get up to speed.
Action Taken
Due to student withdrawals prior to the census date, the unit did not proceed, however recommendations were implemented.
