Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes,and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment aredescribed in the Assessment Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent,equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

All assessments which students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on the Unit Outline.Accepting late submission of assignments or other work will be determined by the unit coordinator or Head of

School and will be specified on the Unit Outline.If late submission of assignments or other work is not accepted, students will receive a penalty of 100% after thedue date and time ie a zero mark for the late assessment.If late submission of assignments or other work is accepted, students will be penalised by ten percent per calendarday for a late assessment submission (eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment willbe deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assignmentworth 20 will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days lateand marked as 12/20, the student would receive 6/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue

. Work submitted after this time (due date plus seven days) may result in a Fail - Incompletewill not be marked(F-IN) grade being awarded for the unit.

Assessment extension

A student must apply for an assessment extension on , as prescribed by the Academicthe Assessment Extension FormRegistrar. The form is available on the Forms page at . The student will behttp://students.curtin.edu.au/administrationexpected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time ordue date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment taskwhere the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the applicationprior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Boardof Examiners' meeting.

Additional assessment information

Late assessment will be subjected to penalty of 10% (1 day delay), 20% (2 days delay) and 50% (3 days delay)

Pass requirements

This unit is assessed continuously and the student is required to achieve a grade/mark greater than or equal to 5/50 to

pass the unit.
