How are my grades calculated?

For each assessment task, lecturers are required to provide feedback using a marked rubric. This includes specifying the grade awarded for each criterion as well as an overall grade for the assessment.

Additionally, lecturers may use the assessment marking feedback key within your submitted documentation to offer further insights. It is essential to carefully review this feedback and use it to enhance your future assessments and engagement in scholarly practice.

Please be aware that there are penalties for submitting an assessment task that exceeds the scope requirements by 10%. If your submission surpasses this limit, the lecturer will stop marking and grading your work at the point where it exceeds the 10% threshold.
