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 Course evaluations
Some students complained about the necessity to complete Middle Discussions with their placement supervisors during their work placements.
Middle discussions for students and supervisors has been utilised in line with our Work Health and Safety (WHS) duties to establish a communication system involving the work placement supervisors, the students and the course coordinator. This system also helped us ensure that corrective measures could be implemented proactively against issues or concerns raised during the work placements. Therefore, middle discussions will continue.
Feedback from Course evaluations
Some students complained about the delays in the SONIA system in getting their Insurance Forms back in order to start their work placements.
SONIA is an online system that has been adopted by the University in 2016 to coordinate and administer work placements that the course coordinator has no control over. While every effort has been made in communicating student inquiries to the work placement officers, such issues raised by a lack of notifications system in SONIA were out of the control of the course coordinator. The project team working on the development of the SONIA system has been made aware of the issues for corrective action to be taken.
Feedback from Online Zoom conference / Course evaluations
Students enjoyed the online workshops and how peer-assessment helped them learn better.
Online peer-assessment workshops will continue,

2 Practical Assessment
This assessment task requires you to complete 40 hours of work placement at a host sport or fitness organisation that is aligned with your career interests. The same host organisation is where you will develop and implement Assessment Task 1.a. Sport Event Business Plan with the assistance of your placement supervisor.
The framework for how to source your work placement and the forms necessary to complete to start your work placement can be found on the online University system called SONIA.
The assessment items for your work placement are:
- Middle Discussions
- Logbook
- Post-Event Evaluation Form
- Student Evaluation Form
Important Notes. You should consult the unit coordinator to discuss the eligibility of a work placement site you would like to nominate and the type of sport event that you plan before uploading your work placement forms to SONIA for approval. This will help you avoid delays during the approval process of your work placement agreement form.
You should contact the unit coordinator, if you have an inquiry about partial Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for work placement assessment before the Census date. RPL applications after the Census date will not be accepted.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
