Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
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%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

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 from SUTE comments and emails.
Students were appreciative of the teaching quality, knowledge, resources, support and friendly approachable teaching team.
Keep up the commitment and engagement level and standard of the unit coordination, teaching, communication and support. Keep updating the text book, weekly contents, lecturer videos, workshop plans, assessment cases and other Moodle resources every year.
Feedback from SUTE comments phone conversations and emails.
Most students could not attend noon workshop in the earlier weeks during work hours. When the evening workshops and drop-in sessions were introduced, the levels of attendance, engagement and satisfaction were higher.
Schedule workshops to accommodate student requirements where possible and break down the 2-hours workshop in 1-hour recorded workshop and 1-hour unrecorded drop-in session for customised support.
Feedback from SUTE comment
A few students commented on the lack of clarity in assessment task details and delay in providing the additional assessment tips. Some students also found the assessment 2 feedback inadequate.
Make all additional assessment tips or support videos available in the assessment tile before week one. Review the assessment task details for further clarity and mention all additional resources in the task description. Ensure that more detailed in-text and customised feedback is provided for assessment 2.
