Referencing and appropriate acknowledgement of sourcesMost often errors in referencing are incidental or clearly inadvertent. In the event of a level one incident of plagiarism occurring, a student may be contactedby the University and required to undertake further training or remedial work in relation to referencing. Where the lack of correct referencing appears tocontravene the University policy on plagiarism, the student’s paper will be referred to the Unit Coordinator and dealt with according to University policy. Thismay amount to academic misconduct.An important aspect of the University Plagiarism Policy is recognition that not all plagiarism incidents are intentional or involves cheating. If students are notlearning as expected, they will be made aware of their difficulties and helped to improve. Those who deliberately choose to cheat by way of plagiarism,however, will be identified and dealt with accordingly.Students are strongly advised to understand their responsibilities in relation to correct referencing and should consult the unit outline and the referencinginformation in the Learning Hub section of the Blackboard site.Format of assignmentsAssignments cannot be handwritten and must comply with the following format requirements. Those assignments, which do not conform to theserequirements without prior agreement of the unit coordinator, will either be returned to the student unmarked or will have marks deducted:Document type: Word or pdf (pdf preferred).Font: Arial or similar font – no smaller than 12 point in size.Pages: Numbered in top or bottom margin.Spacing: Appropriate line spacing and paragraph spacing.Margins: At least 2.5 cm top, left, right & bottom.Labelling of assignment file: Should include student’s Curtin ID number, their first and last names, and the title of the assignment (BLAW1002 Assessment 3– Legal Case Study).PresentationA well-presented assessment will consider and meet the following criteria:• Cover sheet (located on Blackboard under the ‘Assessment’ tab) must be completed and integrated into your assignment document (The system willonly allow you to submit one file so you won’t be able to submit your cover page and assignment document separately).• Appropriate sentence structure.• Correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.• Paragraph size and breaks appropriate.• Consistent format.• Appropriate use of headings and sub-headings.• Within acceptable word limit.• Appropriate referencing and acknowledgment of sources.Word LimitThe total assignment should be a minimum of 2,500 words and not exceed 3,000 words.Please provide a word count on your cover sheet. A penalty of 10% will be imposed on assignments that exceed the word limit. Markers however, have thediscretion as to whether to apply the penalty for an additional 100 words, provided the discussion remains relevant. The assignment will not be assessed if itexceeds 3,250 words and will result in a ZERO mark.The word count does not include the following:• cover sheet;• in-text referencing;• referencing list; and• headings or sub-headings.Submission of Assignment DocumentPlease read the submission process carefully. Students should understand that compliance with instructions in relation to an assessment task is critical.Students MUST be aware that non-compliance with submission instructions can result in a mark of ZERO.All assignments must be submitted by Friday, 5 June 2020 by 1PM (WST), unless an extension for legitimate reasons has been granted by the unit cocoordinator prior to the deadline.Students are required to submit their assignment to Blackboard through a link provided in the ‘Assessment’ folder titled ‘Assessment 3 – Legal Case Study’.Submission links will be set up for each mode / location in which this unit is being studied for the relevant study period (e.g. Bentley Internal, Fully Online,Miri, Singapore etc.), so please ensure that you submit your assignment document to the correct link.The assignment will automatically be submitted to the plagiarism detection program, Turnitin. Please ensure that the version of your assignment submittedto the system is the final version and not an incomplete draft, as the version of your assignment that is in the system at the time the deadline passes will bethe version that is marked for assessment purposes (even if it was a draft version that was inadvertently submitted).Feedback on AssignmentsAll of the teaching staff are available to assist you with your learning in this unit. You should contact your lecturer or tutor if you need help understanding thecourse material or issues arising in the assignment. There is also a staffed Ed forum available for students to ask questions of the teaching team. You can alsocontact the unit coordinator if you are still unable to get the answer you are seeking. Please allow 48 hours (two working days) for a response to your query.Unfortunately, it is just not possible for the teaching staff to review draft assignments for comment before submission as it is in effect double marking thatwould give some students an unfair advantage over others. If you require help with your assignment, either narrow the question or section of work to specificquestions such as “what is meant by this part of the question?” or “do the areas of law pertain to a particular part of the Module 9 lecture?” Questions suchas “have I done this part right?” or “should I include a discussion about this regulator in question 4?” will not be answered as any answer provided by thelecturer or tutor would directly/indirectly impact the mark that the querying student would receive for the assessment, causing the unfairness referred toabove.This assignment will be marked using a rubric, which will be provided to students ahead of time. In addition to providing the set feedback to students that iscontained in the rubric, markers will also offer individual comments on what a student had done well and what they could have done better to earn a highermark.Assessments submitted early will not be marked before the due date. Please refer to the unit outline for the full procedure in relation to penalties for latesubmission and requests for an extension.
