All assessment items are individual submissions. You are asked to submit the assignment simply though the link provided.
You are encouraged to discuss the assignment solution path with others to improve your
understanding and clarify requirements but you should develop the solution to the assessment items on your own.
All assignment submissions must be completed individually via your study
desk. Collusion and cheating is considered to be a very serious issue and all
assignments will be closely monitored to ensure that all students are submitting
their own work. This ensures that all students are treated fairly and graded on their
own knowledge and work. It is acceptable to discuss course content with others to
improve your understanding and clarify requirements however you must not
discuss the actual assignment solution and the solutions to assignment questions
must be done on your own. You must not copy from anyone, including tutors and
fellow students, nor provide copies of your work to others. Assignments that do not
adhere to this requirement will be deemed as being the result of collusion or
cheating. This may lead to severe academic penalties as outlined in the Student
Academic Regulation Misconduct policy found at:-
http://policy.usq.edu.au/portal/custom/detail/student-academicmisconduct/index.html. It is your own responsibility to ensure the integrity of your
work. It is recommended that you use passwords to protect your files and ensure
that others are unable to access your work.
All assignments must be submitted in electronic form via the link on the Study Desk
by the due date. Ensure that you read the extension guidelines as per the
USQ/BELA policies and procedures. Only requests that fall within the specified
guidelines of USQ/BELA will be considered. Do not assume that all extension
requests will be approved.
Read each assessment item question carefully and refer as required to your course
textbook and I/SB materials. I encourage students to post any queries that they have
regarding this assignment onto the course Study Desk. I also encourage other
students to get involved in theses type of postings. However, you should avoid
directly answering any question related to assessment times. As a course examiner, I
will keep any eye on the forums and intervene wherever required. Please also read the
Study desk item regarding contact with the course team prior to directly contacting
the course team.
