Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are

appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is consistently evaluated by

assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the

Assessment Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late penalties

Students are expected to submit each assessment on or before the due deadline date.

Failure to do so will result in a 10% penalty per calendar day (eg 10% per day off the ‘total’

marks available – an assignment worth 25 marks will lose 2.5 marks every day it is late). An

assignment more than 7 days overdue will not be marked.

The Late Assessment Guidelines and Request for Extension form are available online,

please see http://humanities.curtin.edu.au/current_students/late_assessment.cfm
