You can also refer to the library referencing page for more tools such as EndNote, referencing tutorials and referencing guides for printing. Submission format Upload as one single file via the Assignments submission page within Canvas. Academic integrity and plagiarism Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas. You should take extreme care that you have: − Acknowledged words, data, diagrams, models, frameworks and/or ideas of others you have quoted (i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or mentioned in your assessment through the appropriate referencing methods, − Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary. This includes material taken from Internet sites. If you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because you have passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were your own. RMIT University treats plagiarism as a very serious offence constituting misconduct. Plagiarism covers a variety of inappropriate behaviours, including: − Failure to properly document a source − Copyright material from the internet or databases − Collusion between students For further information on our policies and procedures, please refer to the University website. Assessment declaration When you submit work electronically, you agree to the assessment declaration. http://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.rmit.edu.au/library/study/referencing https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/rights-and-responsibilities/academic-integrity https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/assessment-and-exams/assessment/assessment-declaration 4 Working as a group Many courses require you to work in a group to complete various assessments. It is the collective responsibility of all group members to actively contribute and complete any project. If any individual is unavailable during this time, the group will need to adjust responsibilities to allow for the work to be completed. It is recommended that students elect a group leader to take responsibility for this. Working in a group requires consistent interaction and communication. This should be done within Canvas, Google Hangouts, email etc. Should any individual be unavailable for an extended period of time, it is the responsibility of the group members, or group leader, to advise their tutor to discuss the situation. This should be raised as early as possible if students wish to apply for an extension or special consideration. Only one copy of a group assessment needs to be submitted, however all group names must be added to the report submission.

Clear and comprehensive written style (spelling, grammar, syntax). Criteria Ratings Pts HD D C P N Criterion 1 Instructions followed effectively The response to the instructions demonstrates critical thought in the application of responsive knowledge conveyed with skilled analysis and integration of observations from quality references. The response to the instructions demonstrates critical thought in the application of knowledge from the topic, but the academic rigour needs development in analysis of and integration of observations from quality references The response to the instructions demonstrates evidence of some analytical thought and integration of thought based on references, but there is a tendency to be more descriptive than analytical through the task response. The response to the task is more descriptive than analytical, but there is evidence of independent judgment and has gaps. Poor quality response to the task and contains little or no substantiation of claims, poor use of references and demonstrates a failure to grasp the instructions with a level of precision to obtain a pass or above 6.25 to >4.99 Pts 4.99 to >4.37 Pts 4.37 to >3.74 Pts 3.74 to >3.12 Pts 3.12 to >0 Pts 6.25 6 Criterion 2 Appropriate development of the six questions and the justification of each question. Exceptionally clear understanding of subject matter and appreciation of issues; well organised, formulated and sustained arguments. Strong grasp of subject matter and appreciation of key issues, but lacking in part on the finer points Demonstrates an understanding of the subject matter and appreciation of some of the main issues though with some gaps in relation to clearly developed arguments based on references used but evidence of comprehension and application with some analysis is apparent. Some appreciation of subject matter and issues; work generally lacking in depth and breadth and with gaps. Work of this grade comprises a simple factual description - i.e. basic comprehension - but little application or analysis. Work of this grade is poorly prepared and presented. Investment of greater care and thought in organising and structuring work would be required to improve. Evidence of lack of understanding of subject (minimal or inadequate comprehension and little or no application) and inability to identify issues. Often inadequate in depth and breadth. Sometimes incomplete or irrelevant. 6.25 to >4.99 Pts 4.99 to >4.37 Pts 4.37 to >3.74 Pts 3.74 to >3.12 Pts 3.12 to >0 Pts 6.25 Criterion 3 Appropriate RMIT Harvard referencing for quality websites, journal articles, textbooks (minimum of 8 references) Complies with the instructions from the Easy Cite Referencing Tool https://www.lib.rmit. edu.au/easy-cite/ as instructed Complies generally with the Easy Cite Referencing Tool at a good standard with minor errors https://www.lib.rmit.e du.au/easy-cite/ Complies at times with the Easy Cite Referencing Tool but more care required https://www.lib.rmit.e du.au/easy-cite/ Complies with the Easy Cite Referencing Tool with a level of errors that are of concern https://www.lib.rmit. edu.au/easy-cite/ as instructed Fails to comply with the Easy Cite Referencing Tool on too many instances https://www.lib.rmit. edu.au/easy-cite/ as instructed 6.25 to >4.99 Pts 4.99 to >4.37 Pts 4.37 to >3.74 Pts 3.74 to >3.12 Pts 3.12 to >0 Pts 6.25 https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ https://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/easy-cite/ 7 Criterion 4 Clear and comprehensive written style (spelling, grammar, syntax.)
