Code of Conduct for teaching and learning
The Code of Conduct for Teaching and Learning [PDF] sets out certain responsibilities we have to provide information to students enrolled in University courses. The Code of Conduct (Point 5) states:
Within the first week of the academic timetable, the handbook information will be supplemented by written information about each unit (a Unit Outline), including rationale for the unit, teaching & learning processes, details about required and recommended readings, assessment details such as nature of assessment tasks, weighting of each task and assessment criteria, specific attendance and performance requirements for the unit, and a timetable of internal tests and assignments and other assessment deadlines. The information will also include information on how the assessment procedures relate to the objectives of the unit. The consequences of failure to meet the attendance requirements, assessment deadlines and word limits will also be specified. Unit information will include information about the required referencing system, about what constitutes plagiarism and about how plagiarism will be dealt with by the University. Course requirements will not be changed, unless for exceptional circumstances in which case students will receive adequate warning and consultation.
