Appropriate use of the sources in assignments
Avoiding plagiarism is not just referencing sources used within an assignment. It is taking the source information and critically evaluating it against other sources, your own views and original research on the matter, and how that fits the hypothesis of your assignment topic. It is plagiarism when there is little or no original content in the assignment, regardless of citing sources.

For more information, review the resources at the University’s Writing Centre to assist in appropriate referencing and avoiding plagiarism.

Or complete the Academic Integrity module found within any MyUni course, under the Assignment Help tab. It is important you do not breach the University’s as penalties will be applied to your grade.

Plagiarism detection software Turnitin is used to check assignments. Make sure you familiarise yourself in how to review reports.

Classroom discussion & participation
Students are expected to attend and participate in the discussions during the intensive sessions. The lecturer will provide students with opportunities to participate and contribute to the learnings during each of the intensive sessions.

---

---

Capstone Project Management Control Case
Students are required to apply various project controlling tools to a suitable project example. The project can be either a real-world project or completely hypothetical. You should decompose the project scope (based on reasonable assumptions for a hypothetical project or drawing on what you know about a real-world project) into a set of definable and measurable activities and tasks that are associated to the project deliverables.

All text based assignments must be submitted via MyUni:

• Assignment Submission: Assignments should not be emailed to the instructor; they must be lodged via the MyUni Course site (unless specified to do both).
• Cover Sheet: Please include in the assignment a completed 成人大片 Assessment Cover Sheet (found in MyUni, under Modules) providing details of yourself and your team members (if applicable), your assignment, the course, date submitted, etc. as well as the declaration signed by you that this is your (your team’s) work.

If your assignment contains confidential information, you should discuss any concerns with the Course Lecturer prior to submission.
• Assessment extensions request: An application for Assessment Extension should be made before the due date of the assignment to the Course Lecturer. Normally, extensions will only be granted for a maximum of two weeks from the original assignment submission date.

There must be academic or procedural reasons for your request, so you can’t simply request a re-mark because you are disappointed with your result.
