2.6 Review of Grade, Deferred Exams & Supplementary Exams/Assessments 
Review of Grade: 
There may be instances when you believe that your final grade in a subject does not accurately reflect your performance against the subject criteria. Section 8 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy (www.koi.edu.au) describes the grounds on which you may apply for a Review of Grade. 
If this happens and you are unable to resolve it with the Academic staff concerned then you can apply for a formal Review of Grade within the timeframes indicated in the following sections of this subject outline - Supplementary Assessments, 3.2 Appeals Process as well as the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy. Please ensure you read the Review of Grade information before submitting an application. 
Review of Grade Day: 
Final exam scripts will not normally be returned to students. Students can obtain feedback on their exam performance at the Review of Grade Day. KOI will hold the Review of Grade Day for all subjects studied in T220 on 
Friday 30 October 2020 
Only final exams will be discussed as all other assessments should have been reviewed during the trimester. 
If you fail one or more subjects and you wish to consider applying for a Review of Grade you are STRONGLY ADVISED to attend the Review of Grade Day. You will have the chance to discuss your final exam with your lecturer, and will be advised if you have valid reasons for applying for a Review of Grade (see Section 3.2 below and the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy). 
A formal request for a review of grade may not be considered unless you first contact the subject coordinator to discuss the result. 
Deferred Exams: 
If you wish to apply for a deferred exam, you should submit an Application for Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Form before the prescribed deadline. 
If you miss your mid-trimester or final exam there is no guarantee you will be offered a deferred exam. 
You must apply within the stated timeframe and satisfy the conditions for approval to be offered a deferred exam (see Section 8.1 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy and the Application for Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Forms). In assessing your request for a deferred exam, KOI will take into account the information you provide, the severity of the event or circumstance, your performance on other items of assessment in the subject, class attendance and your history of previous applications for special consideration. 
Deferred mid-trimester exams will be held before the end of week 9. Deferred final exams will be held on two days during week 1 or 2 in the next trimester. You will not normally be granted a deferred exam on the grounds that you mistook the time, date or place of an examination, or that you have made arrangements to be elsewhere at that time; for example, have booked plane tickets. 
If you are offered a deferred exam, but do not attend you will be awarded 0 marks for the exam. This may mean it becomes difficult for you to pass the subject. If you apply for a deferred exam within the required time frame and satisfy the conditions you will be advised by email (to your KOI student email address) of the time and date for the deferred exam. Please ensure that you are available to take the exam at this time. 
Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that item of assessment towards your final mark in the subject.  
Supplementary Assessments (Exams and Assessments): 
A supplementary assessment may be offered to students to provide a final opportunity to demonstrate successful achievement of the learning outcomes of a subject. Supplementary assessments are only offered at the discretion of the Board of Examiners. In considering whether or not to offer a supplementary assessment, KOI will take into account your performance on all the major assessment items in the subject, your attendance, participation and your history of any previous special considerations. Students are eligible for a supplementary assessment for their final subject in a course where they fail the subject but have successfully completed all other subjects in the course. You must have completed all major assessment tasks for the subject and obtained a passing mark on at least one of the major assessment tasks to be eligible for a supplementary assessment. 
If you believe you meet the criteria for a supplementary assessment for the final subject in your course, but have not received an offer, complete the “Complaint, Grievance, Appeal Form” and send your form to reception@koi.edu.au. The deadline for applying for supplementary assessment is the Friday of the first week of classes in the next trimester. If you are offered a supplementary assessment, you will be advised by email to your KOI student email address of the time and due date for the supplementary assessment – supplementary exams will normally be held at the same time as deferred final exams during week 1 or week 2 of the next trimester. 
You must pass the supplementary assessment to pass the subject. The maximum grade you can achieve in a subject based on a supplementary assessment is a PASS grade. 
If you: o are offered a supplementary assessment, but fail it; o are offered a supplementary exam, but do not attend; or o are offered a supplementary assessment but do not submit by the due date; you will receive a FAIL grade for the subject. 
2.7 Teaching Methods/Strategies 
Briefly described below are the teaching methods/strategies used in this subject: 
o Lectures (2 hours/week) are conducted in seminar style and address the subject content, provide 
motivation and context and draw on the students’ experience and preparatory reading. o Tutorials (2 hours/week) include class discussion of case studies and research papers, practice sets and 
problem-solving and syndicate work on group projects. Tutorials often include group exercises and so contribute to the development of teamwork skills and cultural understanding. Tutorial participation is an essential component of the subject and contributes to the development of many of the graduate attributes (see section 2.2 above). Tutorial participation contributes towards the assessment in many subjects (see details in Section 3.1 for this subject). Supplementary tutorial material such as case studies, recommended readings, review questions etc. will be made available each week in Moodle. o Online teaching resources include class materials, readings, model answers to assignments and exercises 
and discussion boards. All online materials for this subject as provided by KOI will be found in the Moodle page for this subject. Students should access Moodle regularly as material may be updated at any time during the trimester o Other contact - academic staff may also contact students either via Moodle messaging, or via email to the 
email address provided to KOI on enrolment. 
2.8 Student Assessment 
Assessment is designed to encourage effective student learning and enable students to develop and demonstrate the skills and knowledge identified in the subject learning outcomes. Assessment tasks during the first half of the study period are usually intended to maximise the developmental function of assessment (formative assessment). These assessment tasks include weekly tutorial exercises (as indicated in the weekly planner) and low stakes graded assessment (as shown in the graded assessment table). The major assessment tasks where students demonstrate their knowledge and skills (summative assessment) generally occur later in the study period. These are the major graded assessment items shown in the graded assessment table. 
Final grades are awarded by the Board of Examiners in accordance with KOI's Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy. The definitions and guidelines for the awarding of final grades within the BIT degree are: 
• HD High distinction (85-100%) an outstanding level of achievement in relation to the assessment process. 
• DI Distinction (75-84%) a high level of achievement in relation to the assessment process. 
• CR Credit (65-74%) a better than satisfactory level of achievement in relation to the assessment process. 
• P Pass (50-64%) a satisfactory level of achievement in relation to the assessment process. 
• F Fail (0-49%) an unsatisfactory level of achievement in relation to the assessment process. 
• FW This grade will be assigned when a student did not submit any of the compulsory assessment items. 
Provided below is a schedule of formal assessment tasks and major examinations for the subject.

3.2 General information about assessment 
a) Late Penalties and Extensions 
An important part of business life and key to achieving KOI’s graduate outcome of Professional Skills is the ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines. Consequently, any assessment items such as in- class quizzes and assignments missed or submitted after the due date/time will attract a penalty (see below). 
Students who miss mid-trimester tests and final exams without a valid and accepted reason (see below) may not be granted a deferred exam and will be awarded 0 marks for assessment item. These penalties are designed to encourage students to develop good time management practices, and create equity for all students. 
Any penalties applied will only be up to the maximum marks available for the specific piece of assessment attracting the penalty. 
Late penalties, granting of extensions and deferred exams are based on the following: 
In Class Tests (excluding Mid-Trimester Tests) 
o No extensions permitted or granted – a make-up test may only be permitted under very special 
circumstances where acceptable supporting evidence is provided. The procedures and timing to apply for a make-up test (only if available) are as shown in section Applying for an Extension (see below). o Missing a class test will result in 0 marks for that assessment element unless the above applies. 
Written Assessments 
o 5% of the total available marks per calendar day unless an extension is approved (see Applying for 
an Extension section below) 
Presentations 
o No extensions permitted or granted – no presentation = 0 marks. The rules for make-up presentations 
are the same as for missing in-class tests (described above). 
Mid-Trimester Tests and Final Exams 
o If students are unable to attend mid-trimester tests or final exams due to illness or some other event 
(acceptable to KOI), they must: − Advise KOI in writing (email: academic@koi.edu.au) as soon as possible, but no later than three 
(3) working days after the exam date, that they will be / were absent and the reasons. They will be advised in writing (return email) as to whether the circumstances are acceptable. − Complete the appropriate Application for Extension or Deferred Exam Form available from the 
Student Information Centre in Moodle, on the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception Desk (Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St), as soon as possible and email with attachments to academic@koi.edu.au. − Provide acceptable documentary evidence in the form of a satisfactorily detailed medical 
certificate, police report or some other evidence that will be accepted by KOI. − Agree to attend the deferred exam as set by KOI. 
Deferred exam 
o There will only be one deferred exam offered. o Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that assessment. o If you miss the deferred exam you will be awarded 0 marks for the assessment. This may mean you 
are unable to complete (pass) the subject. 
b) Applying for an Extension 
If students are unable to submit or attend an assessment when due, and extensions are possible, they must apply by completing the appropriate Application for Extension form available from the Student Information Centre in Moodle, the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception Desk (Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St), as soon as possible but no later than three (3) working days of the assessment due date. 
The completed form must be emailed with supporting documentation to academic@koi.edu.au. Students and lecturers / tutors will be advised of the outcome of the extension request as soon as practicable. 
Appropriate documentary evidence to support the request for an extension must be supplied. Please remember there is no guarantee of an extension being granted, and poor organisation is not a satisfactory reason to be granted an extension. 
c) Referencing and Plagiarism 
Please remember that all sources used in assessment tasks must be suitably referenced. Failure to acknowledge sources is plagiarism, and as such is a very serious academic issue. Students plagiarising run the risk of severe penalties ranging from a reduction through to 0 marks for a first offence for a single assessment task, to exclusion from KOI in the most serious repeat cases. Exclusion has serious visa implications. The easiest way to avoid plagiarising is to reference all sources. 
Harvard referencing is the required method – in-text referencing using Author’s Surname (family name) and year of publication. A Referencing Guide, “Harvard Referencing”, and a Referencing Tutorial can be found on the right hand menu strip in Moodle on all subject pages. 
An effective way to reference correctly is to use Microsoft Word’s referencing function (please note that other versions and programs are likely to be different). To use the referencing function, click on the References Tab in the menu ribbon – students should choose Harvard. 
Authorship is also an issue under plagiarism – KOI expects students to submit their own original work in both assessment and exams, or the original work of their group in the case of a group project. All students agree to a statement of authorship when submitting assessments online via Moodle, stating that the work submitted is their own original work. 
The following are examples of academic misconduct and can attract severe penalties: 
o Handing in work created by someone else (without acknowledgement), whether copied from another 
student, written by someone else, or from any published or electronic source, is fraud, and falls under the general Plagiarism guidelines. o Copying / cheating in tests and exams is academic misconduct. Such incidents will be treated just as 
seriously as other forms of plagiarism. o Students who willingly allow another student to copy their work in any assessment may be considered 
to assisting in copying/cheating, and similar penalties may be applied. 
Where a subject coordinator considers that a student might have engaged in academic misconduct, KOI may require the student to undertake an additional oral exam as a part of the assessment for the subject, as a way of testing the student’s understanding of their work. 
Further information can be found on the KOI website. 
d) Reasonable Adjustment 
The Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992) makes it unlawful to treat people with a disability less fairly than people without a disability. In the context of this subject, the principle of Reasonable Adjustment is applied to ensure that participants with a disability have equitable access to all aspects of the learning situation. For assessment, this means that artificial barriers to their demonstrating competence are removed. 
Examples of reasonable adjustment in assessment may include: o provision of an oral assessment, rather than a written assessment 
o provision of extra time o use of adaptive technology. 
The focus of the adjusted assessment should be on enabling the participants to demonstrate that they have achieved the subject purpose, rather than on the method used. 
e) Appeals Process 
Full details of the KOI Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy may be obtained in hard copy from the Library, and on the KOI website www.koi.edu.au under Policies and Forms. 
Assessments and Mid-Trimester Exams: 
Where students are not satisfied with the results of an assessment, including mid-trimester exams, they have the right to appeal. The process is as follows: 
o Discuss the assessment with their tutor or lecturer – students should identify where they feel more 
marks should have been awarded – students should provide valid reasons based on the marking guide provided for the assessment. Reasons such as “I worked really hard” are not considered valid. o If still not satisfied, students should complete an Application for Review of Assessment Marks form, 
detailing the reason for review. This form can be found on the KOI website and is also available at KOI Reception (Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St). o Application for Review of Assessment Marks forms must be submitted as explained on the form 
within ten (10) working days of the return of the marked assessment, or within five (5) working days after the return of the assessment if the assessment is returned after the end of the trimester. 
Review of Grade – whole of subject and final exams: 
Where students are not satisfied with the results of the whole subject or with their final exam results, they have the right to request a Review of Grade – see the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy for more information. 
An Application for Review of Grade/Assessment Form (available from the KOI Website under Policies and Forms and from KOI Reception at Kent St, Market St and O’Connell St) should be completed clearly explaining the grounds for the application. The completed application should be submitted as explained on the form, with supporting evidence attached, to the Academic Manager.
