Additional course grading information

Grading of Student work

This course contains 'must pass' assessment tasks, specifically Introduction Secondary Professional Experience,ᅠMinor Professional Experience & UniPE Secondary.

Students must passᅠtheseᅠassessment items to pass the course overall,ᅠi.e. even if your final percentage mark is 50% or higher, if the individual ‘must pass’ assessment items areᅠnot passed, a student cannot achieve a grade higher than a 3.

EDUC3006 is a pre-requisite for EDUC4005 Major Professional Experience. Students must complete all assessment tasks within this course in order to pass EDUC3006 and progress to EDUC4005 Major Professional Experience.

A final percentage mark will be rounded to the nearest whole number (e.g. 64.50 and above will be rounded to 65 and 64.49 and below will be rounded down to 64.) 

Attendance and participation

As this course is directly related to your professional training, full attendance and active engagement is expected at all times (unexplained absence, late arrival or early departure is not acceptable). Rolls will be maintained for every session. All absences and non-participation will require supporting documentation and additional tasks may be allocated in lieu of missed learning experiences. Assessment tasks are based on information provided during class. This information may not be available on the web.
