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 30%
2. Written Assessment 30%
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.

Feedback
The slides were a very high standard of presentation. I did find a little lost in the subject material at times, but in hindsight, it all made sense.
Recommendation
We’ll keep the PowerPoint presentations top-notch and relevant. Students are encouraged to connect with the lecturer and tap into other resources, but we’ll also keep a closer eye on their Moodle engagement to proactively spot and address any issues.
Action Taken
PowerPoint presentations were kept to a high standard, and the teaching team paid closer attention to student engagement by tracking Moodle activity and in-class participation. When needed, we reached out to students individually to provide support or clear up any questions.

Feedback
Unit is achievable but difficult for students that aren't employed directly in the mining/process industry with complex structures.
Recommendation
Alongside the existing weekly materials covering various industries, the teaching team will keep sourcing and sharing case studies from different sectors, bringing in examples that resonate with the student group for class discussions.
Action Taken
On top of the current materials, we brought in extra case studies from sectors like utilities and local government, beyond just mining. These were discussed in live sessions to make sure the content clicked with students from all sorts of backgrounds.

Feedback
Great subject, overall satisfied with the learnings and look forward to using the knowledge in the field. Very appreciative of the effort to bring in speakers from different industries, really found this valuable. also very appreciative of the subject understanding students work life and moving assignment 3 to the monday For entire course feedback, all assignments should be due on Mondays due to students working full time.
Recommendation
The teaching team will keep bringing in industry guest speakers and take students’ workloads into account when planning assessment deadlines. We’ll also continue tracking how well these changes (assessment scheduling and the use of diverse case studies) are working in future terms. These points and their impact on students’ experience and learning outcomes will be reviewed in the next AUER cycle.
Action Taken
At least one guest speaker session was included this term, and recordings of previous talks were also made available on Moodle. We arranged extra meetings with students to support those working full-time, helping clear up their questions and making sure they could submit assessments on time.

Feedback
The marking rubric needs to be more detailed… there’s a gap between the rubric and what the lecturer actually expects.
Recommendation
The teaching team will rework the marking rubrics to clearly spell out what’s expected for each grade level. We’ll also share the rubrics with sample assessment responses in future terms to give students a better idea of what’s required.

Feedback
Class times are a bit awkward for WA students who work in mining and do shift work.
Recommendation
Alongside recorded sessions, the teaching team will look into polling students during Orientation to find alternative times for live Zoom classes, especially to accommodate shift workers in different time zones.

Feedback
Please include more reading lists and industry expert lectures to align theory with real-world practice.
Recommendation
A curated list of extra readings will be added to Moodle in a new ‘Supplementary Resources’ section. We’ll also aim to schedule at least one live guest lecture in future terms.
