Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of using other author's ideas and words or solutions without acknowledgement. It is a form of cheating and is considered as misconduct under official university policy. The official university policies on assessment cover plagiarism. You must not engage in plagiarism in any of your assignments. For more information, consult the libarary UseIt on Plagiarism: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/ssah/useits/plaguseit.html. Disagreements: If you disagree with your assignment marks, ask your tutor for clarification, and then the course coordinator if you aren't happy with the response.  Finally if this does not resolve the problem to your satisfaction consult the official policy on assessment feedback and remarking and follow the procedures there.

Consult the official university policy. You may consult the official university policies on examinations. EPSA faculty official Examination policies - special exams, supplementary exams EPSA faculty Special Exam Policy (PDF format) Midsemester Examination Information There will be no midsemester exam. What to do if you miss the midsemester examination You should consult you lecturer as soon as possible after the examination. You should bring supporting material (medical certificate or a letter from Student Support Services). Final Examination Materials The final exam will be a computer-based exam, where you will work in the labs using whatever computing you choose to use. The questions will be based on the assignment problems. What to do if you miss the final examination It is crucial that you contact the Examinations Section (St Lucia - 3365 2488, Gatton - 5460 1126), or the Student Centre on Ipswich Campus (3381 1011), or report to the Student Centre on your campus as soon as possible. Under certain circumstances you may be allowed to take your examination later on the same day; however, you may be required to apply for a special examination. The MyAdvisor website lists the application process. From the official university policy, "Students arriving at a centrally controlled examination venue during perusal time will be allowed to complete the examination in that room. Students arriving after the end of perusal time and within the time specified in Assessment Rule 14 may be referred to the Student Centre and allowed to sit the examination in a room set aside for special arrangements, subject to the completion by the student of a declaration affirming no knowledge of the content of the question papers and provision of explanation for their late arrival. At the end of the examination period, the Manager, Examinations Section, will forward to each faculty a summary of students who arrived late for examinations."  What to do if you are unhappy with the examination marks If you disagree with your examination marks or final grade, you should consult the official policy on assessment feedback and remarking.
