What you should know Policy & Procedures

Blackboard Site for this Unit of Study


Important information concerning this unit of study is placed on the Swinburne course management system (Blackboard), accessible via http://ilearn.swin.edu.au. It is your responsibility to access on a regular basis the following: The Blackboard site for your unit of study, The Announcements section on Blackboard, and Any emails sent by the teaching staff to your student email address via Blackboard

Swinburne student email is now provided by Live@edu to give students an improved email and calendaring service. To login navigate to http://outlook.com and use the following login details: Login: <studentID>@student.swin.edu.au Default Password: Date of birth (DDMMYY) Email Address: <studentID>@student.swin.edu.au Important Note: If you access your email through a provider other than Swinburne, it is your responsibility to ensure that your Swinburne email is redirected to your private email address.

Plagiarism:
Swinburne University of Technology defines Plagiarism as the action or practice of taking and submitting or presenting the thoughts, writings or other work of someone else as though it is your own work. Plagiarism includes any of the following, without full and appropriate acknowledgment to the original source(s): (i) The use of the whole or part of a computer program written by another person; (ii) the use, in essays or other assessable work, of the whole or part of a written work from any source including but not limited to a book, journal, newspaper article, set of lecture notes, current or past students work, any other persons work, a website or database; (iii) The paraphrasing of anothers work; (iv) The use of musical composition, audio, visual, graphic and photographic models, (v) The use of realia that is objects, artefacts, costumes, models and the like. Plagiarism also includes the preparation or production and submission or presentation of assignments or other work in conjunction with another person or other people when that work should be your own independent work. This remains plagiarism whether or not it is with the knowledge or consent of the other person or people. It should be noted that Swinburne encourages its students to talk to staff, fellow students and other people who may be able to contribute to a students academic work but that where independent assignment is required, submitted or presented work must be the students own. Enabling plagiarism contributes to plagiarism and therefore will be treated as a form of plagiarism by the University. Enabling plagiarism means allowing or otherwise assisting another student to copy or otherwise plagiarise work by, for example, allowing access to a draft or completed assignment or other work.

Assessment and Appeals Policy and Procedure


The information outlined in the Assessment sections above is covered in more detail in Swinburnes Assessment and Appeals Policy and Procedure. Students must be familiar with the Policy and Procedure, found at http://policies.swinburne.edu.au/ppdonline/ The Policy and Procedure provides details about:
169435366.doc | Template modified: 22 February, 2013 Page 7 of 8

Assessment issues such as the conduct of examinations, plagiarism policies and details explaining how to apply for a review of results and other appeals, and Student progress issues such as unsatisfactory academic progress and early intervention procedures, and Information for students with disabilities and special needs and procedures for applying for special consideration.

Students should make themselves familiar with all aspects of the Policy and Procedure, as failure to do so is not grounds for appeal. Students are advised to seek advice from the staff at the Swinburne Student Amenities Association SSAA (http://www.myssaa.com.au/Home) if they require assistance with advocacy for Sections 12 (At-Risk and Progress Review) and 13 (Appeals) of the Policy and Procedure.

Student Feedback:
Swinburne seeks student feedback in a number of ways, including through periodic Student Feedback on Units and Student Feedback on Teaching surveys, as part of the universitys approach to quality assurance and improvement. Possible improvement based on both student and staff feedback is considered by Unit Convenors, Unit Panels made up of relevant teaching staff, Program Panels, Faculty Academic Committees, and the Academic Programs Quality Committee, as appropriate.

Safety Standards and Conduct Requirements:


The University executes safety drills without warning. Be prepared to follow instructions from staff and/or wardens to evacuate the building in a safe and orderly manner. All students are expected to respect the rights and sensibilities of their fellow students and teaching staff. This also applies in respect of the content of video and audio work submitted for assessment. The University has rigorous anti-discrimination and harassment policies and procedures, found at: http://policies.swinburne.edu.au/ppdonline/ If this unit contains laboratory work, safety procedures in laboratories must be followed. Open-toed shoes are not permitted in certain laboratories. Drink or food is not permitted in teaching spaces. The supervisor is authorised to exclude students for dangerous or disruptive behaviour which would result in forfeiture of all marks for the laboratory activity. The playing of computer games is not allowed in the computer labs.

Special Needs
If you have special needs you should advise your Faculty and the Unit of Study Convenor by the end of the second week of the teaching period. In addition, you are recommended to notify the Equity Office if you have not already done so. See also the Students with Disabilities and Special Needs Section of the Assessment and Appeals Policy & Procedure, found at: http://policies.swinburne.edu.au/ppdonline/
