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).

Assessment Overview

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

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Practical Assessment 15%
2. Practical Assessment 35%
3. Online Test 50%

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: Self Reflection
Feedback
The flow of earlier labs was disjointed with some material from the old text
Recommendation
Revise and rewrite material to fit better with the new textbook
Action Taken
Updated the lecture and lab materials according to the new textbook which already has hands-on weekly practical workshops.
Source: Email
Feedback
Lab software not available until Week 4
Recommendation
Communicate with the IT support team and ensure that required software is made available by Week 1
Action Taken
Has been resolved and the software was available in the labs.

Feedback
Assessment marking criteria.
Recommendation
Assessment marking criteria needs to be enhanced with allocating marks for documentation. Both Assessment 1 and 2 have no room for documentation and assessments cover only design and coding parts. Unit needs to evaluate students' programming skills as well as documentation for their assessment project.
Action Taken
In Progress
Source: Student Feedback
Feedback
Students reported that the assessments were not challenging enough.
Recommendation
n the next offering, an open-ended task will be incorporated so that students can select features of their choice into their web application development to adjust the complexity level within a given boundary.
