- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Deliverables and Dates for Assessment
- Platform development: 50%
- Poster: 10%
- Final Report: 20%
- Presentation and Demonstration: 10%
- Improvements to research work: 10%Assessment Detail
Customization and Development Tasks
- Features: relevance and completeness: 20%
- Code Quality: 10%

Presentation, Demonstration and Examination
Group presentation for demonstrating the developed prototype. You should
expect individual questions for individual assessment. Each group is
allocated a 30 minutes timeslot.
Poster
- Academic Content: 5%
- Contents: Does the poster contain Title, Authors,
Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions, and
Acknowledgements?

Final Report
This detailed document will include your project specification, design,
and description of implementation (technologies, design, architecture).
The report main part (i.e., excluding the appendix) should be around 20
pages with 2cm margins all around, using an 11-point font with normal
(single) line spacing.
Improvement of research work

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
