Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Assessment Tasks
To see assessment details from an earlier availability, please search via a previous term.
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%).

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.
Source: student feedback
Students need more training for Airline Online
Software training materials have been enhanced.
More dedicated instructions have been provided.
Source: Student evaluation feedback and unit coordinator observation
Students found the airline simulation valuable as a learning activity, but some needed a clearer introduction to the software and more opportunities to build confidence using it before graded tasks.
Structured software induction should be provided at the start of the term, including a guided demonstration, low-stakes practice activity, short how-to resources, and troubleshooting support.
In Progress
Source: Student evaluation feedback and unit coordinator observation
Students wanted more step-by-step guidance on unit requirements, assessment expectations, and how to approach simulation-based tasks, especially in the early weeks of the semester.
More scaffolded learning support should be provided through tutorial-style walkthroughs, clearer assessment guidance, exemplars, and scheduled check-in opportunities before major tasks.
