b. Participation requirements Students are required to attend all the lecture and tutorial sessions. In addition, students MUST attend all laboratory sessions. If the student is to be absent, a valid reason must be provided. Failure to do so would automatically result in ZERO mark for that particular assessment, even if the lab report is submitted. c. Minimum requirements to pass this unit of study: In order to achieve a pass in this unit of study, you must achieve: at least 35% of the possible final marks for each Major Assessment Component plus an aggregate mark for the subject of 50% or more.

If you do not achieve at least 35% of the possible final marks for each Major Assessment Component you will receive a maximum of 44% as your mark for the subject concerned. d. Assessment criteria: Demonstration of clear and correct procedures (descriptive and/or mathematical) combined with the demonstration of reaching correct/plausible answers will attract maximum marks. e. Submission of Assignments: When submitting an assignment/lab report, students are advised to use of an Assignment Cover Sheet keep photocopy of work as record and back up electronic data

All works must be submitting in hard copy unless specified otherwise by the lecturer. f. Extensions and Late Submissions: Only in exceptional circumstances will extensions be granted late work be accepted without penalty.

Penalties for late work: 2 marks will be deducted for each day late up to a maximum of 3 days, after which it will not be accepted. Any part of a day will be counted as 1 day. g. Availability of Assessment Results, Retention of Assessed Materials: Assessed material will be returned to you, but you must retain all assessed material that contributes to the final grade up until such time as the final grades are published. The assessed material must, after a reasonable time, be produced on demand for review by the Convenor. Noncompliance with this requirement may result in loss of all credit for the assessed material not so produced. h. Groupwork Guidelines: A group project is the collective responsibility of the entire group, and if one member is temporarily unable to contribute, the group should be able to reallocate responsibilities to keep to schedule. In the event of longer-term illness or other serious problems involving a member of a project group, it is the responsibility of the other members to make the project supervisor aware of the situation straight away. Group project reports must be submitted with the project cover sheet, signed by all members of the group. All group members must be satisfied that the work has been correctly submitted. Any penalties for late submission will apply to all group members, not just the person who submitted.

i. Swinburne University of Technologys definition of plagiarism: Plagiarism is the action or practice of taking and submitting or presenting the thoughts, writings or other work of someone else as though it is your own work. Plagiarism includes any of the following, without full and appropriate acknowledgment to the original source(s): (i) The use of the whole or part of a computer program written by another person; (ii) the use, in essays or other assessable work, of the whole or part of a written work from any source including but not limited to a book, journal, newspaper article, set of lecture notes, current or past students work, any other persons work, a website or database; (iii) the paraphrasing of anothers work; (iv) the use of musical composition, audio, visual, graphic and photographic models, (v) The use of realia, that is objects, artefacts, costumes, models and the like. Plagiarism also includes the preparation or production and submission or presentation of assignments or other work in conjunction with another person or other people when that work should be your own independent work. This remains plagiarism whether or not it is with the knowledge or consent of the other person or people. It should be noted that Swinburne encourages its students to talk to staff, fellow students and other people who may be able to contribute to a students academic work but that where independent assignment is required, submitted or presented work must be the students own. Enabling plagiarism contributes to plagiarism and therefore will be treated as a form of plagiarism by the University. Enabling plagiarism means allowing or otherwise assisting another student to copy or otherwise plagiarise work by, for example, allowing access to a draft or completed assignment or other work. The information outlined in this section above is covered in more detail in Swinburne Sarawaks Plagiarism Policy and Procedure. Students must be familiar with the Policy and Procedure, found at http://www.swinburne.edu.my/ppd/docs/student_information/Plagiarism.pdf?recnum=POL/2007/36 j. Assessment and Appeals Policy and Procedure The information outlined in the Assessment sections above is covered in more detail in Swinburne Sarawaks Assessment and Appeals Policy and Procedure. Students must be familiar with the Policy and Procedure, found at
http://www.swinburne.edu.my/ppd/docs/student_information/Assessment%20and%20Appeal.pdf?recnum=P OL/2007/19

The Policy and Procedure provides details about: Assessment issues such as the conduct of examinations, plagiarism policies and details explaining how to apply for a review of results and other appeals, and Student progress issues such as unsatisfactory academic progress and early intervention procedures, and Information for students with disabilities and special needs and procedures for applying for special consideration.

Students should make themselves familiar with all aspects of the Policy and Procedure, as failure to do so is not grounds for appeal. Student Feedback: Swinburne seeks student feedback in a number of ways, including through periodic Student Feedback on Units and Student Feedback on Teaching surveys, as part of the universitys approach to quality assurance and improvement. Possible improvement based on both student and staff feedback is considered by Unit Convenors, Unit Panels made up of relevant teaching staff, Program Panels, Faculty Academic Committees, and the Academic Programs Quality Committee, as appropriate. Safety Standards and Conduct Requirements: The University executes safety drills without warning. Be prepared to follow instructions from staff and/or wardens to evacuate the building in a safe and orderly manner.

All students are expected to respect the rights and sensibilities of their fellow students and teaching staff. This also applies in respect of the content of video and audio work submitted for assessment. The University had implemented anti-discrimination and harassment policies and procedures to promote a discrimination and harassment free work and study environment for all staff and students. The University had implemented anti-discrimination and harassment policies and procedures to promote a discrimination and harassment free work and study environment for all staff and students: http://policies.swinburne.edu.au/ppdonline/showdoc.aspx?recnum=POL/2008/125 Safety procedures in laboratories must be followed. For your own safety, bare feet, thongs and other open sandals are forbidden. Eating, drinking or smoking in laboratories is not allowed. A mature, sensible attitude and a healthy respect for the equipment is always required. Juvenile, illmannered or reckless behaviour will not be tolerated, and the laboratory supervisor has the right to exclude students from the laboratory should their behaviour constitute a danger to themselves or others. Such behaviour would result in forfeiture of all marks for that experiment. The playing of computer games is not allowed in the computer labs. Special Needs If you have special needs you should advise your Faculty and the Unit of Study Convenor by the end of the second week of the teaching period. In addition, you are recommended to notify the Equity Office if you have not already done so.
