2.3 Learning and teaching in this subject


This subject uses a combination of approaches to teaching and learning, including both student centred and
teacher directed approaches. The content of the subject is disseminated using a variety of teaching strategies
including workshops, group work, discussions, simulations, and readings. You are expected to be an active
participant in the learning process and are encouraged to participate in workshops and undertake weekly
readings. Beyond the classroom, your learning experience will be greatly enhanced if you collaborate and share
ideas with other students. One easy way to achieve this is to form a study group with 2-3 other students with
similar needs and expectations. Your lecturer can assist with this.

2.4 Student feedback on subject


As part of our commitment at JCU to improving the quality of our courses and teaching, we regularly seek
feedback on your learning experiences. Student feedback informs evaluation of subject and teaching strengths
and areas that may need refinement or change. YourJCU Subject and Teaching Surveys provide a formal and
confidential method for you to provide feedback about your subjects and the staff members teaching within them.
These surveys are available to all students through LearnJCU. You will receive an email invitation when the
survey opens. We value your feedback and ask that you to provide considered feedback for each of your
subjects.

Section 4.Other Information about Assessment and Student Support


4.1 Submission and return of assessment
The ability to adhere to deadlines is a highly desirable attribute that employers seek in our graduates. Right from
the beginning, new students should acquire the habit of meeting deadlines for their work, by organising their
study time appropriately. The following points apply to the submission of assessment
1. Extensions will be granted in cases of illness or personal issues (medical certificate/counsellors
statement required). It is at the discretion of the subject co-ordinator/lecturer that extensions will be
granted for inescapable, unexpected, documented work commitments (provide documentation). You
should contact your lecturer before the due date if you are likely to require an extension.
2. Where no prior extension has been approved, late submissions will incur a penalty of 5% per day or part
thereof. Weekends are treated as a single full day because university buildings are not usually
accessible of over the weekend to allow for submission. Assessment tasks will generally not be graded
after 14 days past the due date.
3. Assignments must be submitted to a Safe Assignment drop box on the subject site, LearnJCU. Students
may not email or fax an assignment without prior approval from the Subject Coordinator/Lecturer.
Submission could be required as Safe Assignment and in hard copy form.
4. The assessment will be returned with feedback in 21 days.

4.2 Plagiarism and referencing


Plagiarism occurs when writers claim ownership of written words or ideas that are not their own. Plagiarism
is a form of cheating and any instances of plagiarism will be dealt with promptly according to University
procedures. Please see the JCU Student Academic Misconduct Requirements Policy
<http://www.jcu.edu.au/policy/student/rights/JCUDEV_005375.html>
Referencing is a systematic way of acknowledging the sources that you have used. Students should check out
the very helpful online resources relating to academic writing, referencing and avoiding plagiarism at:

Writing and Maths Skills Online http://www-public.jcu.edu.au/learningskills/resources/wsonline/index.htm


(In particular, the booklet Summarising, Paraphrasing & Avoiding Plagiarismis a very useful guide).
