Detailed information on assessment tasks

Fair assessment through moderation


Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy


This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied. 1. All assessments which students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on the Unit Outline. 2. Accepting late submission of assignments or other work will be determined by the unit coordinator or Head of School and will be specified on the Unit Outline. 3. If late submission of assignments or other work is not accepted, students will receive a penalty of 100% after the due date and time ie a zero mark for the late assessment. 4. If late submission of assignments or other work is accepted, students will be penalised by ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission (eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assignment worth 20 will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and marked as 12/20, the student would receive 6/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked. Work submitted after this time (due date plus seven days) may result in a Fail - Incomplete (F-IN) grade being awarded for the unit.

Assessment extension
A student must apply for an assessment extension on the Assessment Extension Form, as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. The form is available on the Forms page at http://students.curtin.edu.au/administration. The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.
