The marking criteria for this assessment task are provided on page 4. You need to familiarise yourself with the marking criteria to ensure that you have addressed them when preparing the report for this assessment item.

Academic Integrity
Students must write the report themselves. You may be asked to prove that you have written the Report. You should keep evidence that you have written the Report yourself, for example, early drafts of your Report, and notes taken during the assignment.

ALL assignments will be checked for plagiarism (material copied from other students and/or material copied from other sources) using TurnItIn. If you are found to have plagiarised material or if you have used someone else’s words without appropriate referencing, you will be penalised for plagiarism which could result in zero (0) marks for the whole assignment. If you falsify references/information you will also be penalised. In some circumstances, a more severe penalty may be imposed such as having a plagiarism incident raised. Please refer to CQUniversity’s policy and procedure on academic integrity for details.

Once the assessment is marked, the Unit Coordinator (or nominee) may request additional written information and/or an oral discussion to clarify the student’s understanding of the submitted work. Failure to comply and/or to demonstrate an understanding of the Report’s content could result in 0 marks for the Report.

Submission
Each student must upload his/her individual report through the COIT20263 Moodle unit website assessment block on or before the due date. Late submissions will incur a penalty as per the university’s Assessment Policy and Procedure.
