Assessments, unless otherwise stated in the Study guide, are to be submitted electronically via Assignments in MyUni on the due date identified in the Study guide. Instructions for assignment submission are available for all students under Tutorials at . Formatting and presentation of assignments must comply with School policy as indicated in the School Academic Manual.An assessment submitted via MyUni must be submitted as a .doc, .docx or .rtf file (or unless otherwise specified, i.e. PowerPoint). It is also important to submit your file under the student surname and id number, such as surnamestudentid (i.e. knight1234567). MyUni stamps all the other details against the filename once you submit your assessment.
The assessment must include an Assignment Coversheet. The assignment should be submitted as one file, with the coversheet being the first page. A word version and rich text format of the Assignment Coversheet is available to download at . The Plagiarism Statement must be signed and dated for the assessment to be marked (signature is not required for electronic submission). More information on avoiding Plagiarism is available at .
If students have difficulty submitting their assignment, they can call the MyUni helpdesk Monday to Friday (8am to 6pm) on 08 8313 3335.
All assessments should be submitted by the specified due date.
Late submission without an approved extension will be penalised at the rate of 10% of available marks for each day after the due date. Work submitted more than ten days after the due date may be returned unmarked. This action will be taken to prevent students who do get their work in on time being disadvantaged.
Students are advised to comply with word limits. Students are, of course, not expected to achieve exactly the required length and a 10% leeway on either side is acceptable. However, a penalty of 5% of available marks will apply for word limit in excess of the 10% leeway.
Written work must comply with the formatting and referencing indicated in the School Academic Manual. Marks will be lost for failing to do so.
Marked assignments and feedback will be returned via MyUni. For further information relating to assessment refer to the .
In accordance with University Policy, the guidelines and conditions regarding resubmission are stated below. It should be noted that these guidelines concern work that has been assessed as ‘FAIL’.
Course coordinators, in consultation with Head of Learning & Teaching and/or the Pre-Registration or Postgraduate Learning and Teaching Sub-Committee Chairperson, are responsible for determining the circumstances in which students may resubmit assessment tasks. In determining these circumstances, the following are considered.
a) Students may only resubmit their work when:
i) It will allow them to demonstrate that they have understood feedback on their work; and/or
ii) They might otherwise be at risk of failing the course; and/or
iii) When they have received a Fail grade with an underlying mark of 45-49%; or
iv) The final assessment task in the course is weighted at 20% or more of the total course assessment.
b) In granting a resubmission, the deadline will be negotiated.
c) The resubmitted work will be awarded no more than the minimum pass mark (i.e. 50%).
d) If the resubmitted work does not achieve a pass, it cannot be submitted a third time, and a fail will be recorded.
e) Students who accept an offer of resubmission must take into account the possible implications, such as eligibility for graduation should the reassessment not be able to be completed in time for their preferred ceremony.

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.
