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).

Feedback
'The sound quality on some of these recordings was very bad and closed captions were not available'.
Recommendation
New recording equipment has been sourced for the next offering. Videos will be progressively updated with enhanced sound and captions.
Action Taken
New mic has appeared to resolve this problem.
Source: Student feedback
Feedback
Take-home exam scheduling confirmed too late
Recommendation
As a take-home exam the scheduling must consider timing conflicts. This is managed at a level beyond the unit coordinator. That said, the unit coordinator is to undertake all possible steps to have the date set as early as possible and communicate this with the class.
