SUBJECT DESCRIPTION

The project focuses on developing students skills in teamwork, system design, implementation, testing and documentation. Students learn to design Information Technology projects covering network management or software development for efficiency, portability and re-use, as well as to take advantage of different standards and system utilities. The projects require students to work in small development teams and result in the development of a small-scale industry-based system. The laboratory work is designed to bring students up to speed in relevant development skills and to provide them with a working knowledge sufficient for industrial-type network and software development projects. The subject also integrates previously learned skills and knowledge relating to social and ethical issues.

This subject is a “capstone” subject

Policies, Procedures and GuidelinesThe University has a comprehensive policy framework to which both staff and students must adhere. You should familiarise yourself with those policies, procedures and guidelines likely to affect you especially the following:

Academic Integrity. Academic Progress. Assessment and Feedback. Extension to Submission Dates. Late Submission of Assessment Tasks. Occupational, Health and Safety [OHS]. Privacy. Special Consideration. Student Charter. Use of Electronic Mail.

The relevant policies, procedures and guidelines can be found on the website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/

Academic Integrity/Plagiarism

Academic integrity means being honest in academic work and taking responsibility for learning the conventions of scholarship. La Trobe University views this seriously as evidenced by the following extract:

Academic honesty is a fundamental principle in teaching, learning, research and scholarship. The University requires its academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic work and it demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted scholarly work, and by penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating.

Academic Integrity Procedures (2010, p. 1 of 6)

Academic misconduct includes poor referencing, plagiarism, copying and cheating. You should familiarise yourself with your responsibilities in relation to Academic Integrity and if you have any questions, direct them to your Course Coordinator. Information can be found on the website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/learning/integrity.html

Submission of teamwork MUST include a statement of effort and a signed statement of authorship of team members. The team contact (representative) will submit one copy of the team assessment tasks/s.

Subject Learning Guide – Subject Code Campus Page 13 of 14Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering

Special Consideration

Special Consideration is a process that applies an equity measure to ensure that where any temporary adverse circumstance beyond the control of a student, impacts negatively on that student’s ability to demonstrate their learning achievement for an assessment task, it is taken into account.

Eligibility to apply for Special Consideration does not automatically imply eligibility to receive it. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order to receive Special Consideration.

Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/

Extensions, Late Submissions and Penalties

There are policies and procedures to guarantee fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks which provide equity around extensions of submission dates and penalties associated with not submitting assessment tasks by the due date and time.

Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/

Rules - Faculty/School/Discipline

Attendance

Attendance during the lecture, laboratory and Industry meetings will be recorded. Students are expected to attend at least 80% of the classes, labs and Industry presentations.

Penalties for Late Submission of Assignments

Late penalties are applicable as per the university guidelines.
