Policies and Advice Communication Protocol If you have a question about a tutorial, please contact or see the teacher in charge of that tutorial. Questions related to course structure or administrative issues should be directed to the Coordinator. You are encouraged to consult with your teachers, but please make every effort to do so during consultation times (no appointment necessary) or to make an appointment for another time. When emailing coordinator and instructor, students must use their University of Sydney email address. Please write with courtesy and limit your communications to legitimate and carefully considered questions, comments or concerns. Please make sure that your question has not already been answered in the unit of study outline. Include a proper salutation such as “Dear Sensei”, your full name and SID, and make sure to mention the unit of study you are enrolled in. Write in complete, grammatical sentences. In return for observing these etiquette guidelines, teachers will be attentive to emails and reply promptly. If you do not receive a reply within 36 business hours, it is likely to be because you have not followed these guidelines. All email contact from teachers will be sent to your university email account. It is your responsibility to check this account regularly. Not checking emails will not be accepted as an excuse for failing to complete an assignment or follow instructions. Appeals Faculty policy reflects Academic Board policy on Appeals. You should familiarise yourself with this policy, which can be found at myuni.usyd.edu.au: Policy: Study at the University: Appeals. All care is taken to ensure that marking is consistent and fair and that markers adhere to the assessment criteria as advertised. In some rare cases, however, a student may feel that the mark awarded does not reflect the quality of the work done. If you wish to lodge an appeal against the grade awarded, the first step is to contact the maker to arrange for a time to discuss the assessment task. If the marker is not available you should contact the Unit of Study Coordinator. If you are not happy with the outcome of this discussion, then you may appeal formally against the grade awarded. This appeal should be lodged within three weeks of return of marked work, through your School Office and addressed to the Chair of the relevant Department, and should include: Appeal for Reassessment Form (PDF) (available online & from the School Office) A written statement outlining the reasons for appeal and any additional supporting documentation. The written statement should draw attention to such matters as perceived injustice in terms of bias or inconsistent application of the grade descriptors published by the School or Department.

The Chair of Department will follow up on your appeal within the time limits and according to procedures set out in the Faculty policy. All information concerning your appeal will be confidential and you will not suffer disadvantage as a result of your appeal (e.g. your mark will not be lowered). Unit of Study Evaluation and Response We value your feedback on this unit of study, both informally throughout the semester and through formal unit evaluation processes. We are particularly keen to receive your feedback on the online learning activities. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND PLAGIARISM Academic honesty is a core value of the University. The University requires students to act honestly, ethically and with integrity in their dealings with the University, its members, members of the public and others. The University is opposed to and will not tolerate academic dishonesty or plagiarism, and will treat all allegations of academic dishonesty or plagiarism seriously. The University’s Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy 2012 and associated Procedures are available for reference on the University Policy Register at http://sydney.edu.au/policies (enter “Academic Dishonesty” in the search field). The Policy applies to the academic conduct of all students enrolled in a coursework award course at the University. Under the terms and definitions of the Policy, “academic dishonesty” means “seeking to obtain or obtaining academic advantage (including in the assessment or publication of work) by dishonest or unfair means or knowingly assisting another student to do so. “plagiarism” means “presenting another person’s work as one’s own work by presenting, copying or reproducing it without appropriate acknowledgement of the source.” The presentation of another person's work as one's own without appropriate acknowledgement is regarded as plagiarism, regardless of the author’s intentions. Plagiarism can be classified as negligent (negligent plagiarism) or dishonest (dishonest plagiarism). An examiner who suspects academic dishonesty or plagiarism by a student must report the suspicion to a nominated academic in the relevant faculty. If the nominated academic concludes that the student has engaged in dishonest plagiarism or some other sufficiently serious form of academic dishonesty, the matter may be referred to the Registrar for further disciplinary action under the terms of the Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy 2012 and Chapter 8 of the University of Sydney By-Law 1999 (as amended). USE OF SIMILARITY DETECTION SOFTWARE Students should be aware that written assignments submitted in this Unit of Study will be submitted to similarity detecting software known as Turnitin. The detection and identification of work that may be suspected of plagiarism is an academic judgment for the unit coordinator, and similarity detecting software is one of the tools that an examiner or marker may use to inform a decision that plagiarism has occurred. Turnitin searches for matches between text in your written assessment task and text sourced from the Internet, published works and assignments that have previously been submitted to Turnitin for analysis. It produces an originality report showing matches with various sources, and an overall level of match or similarity index. There will always be some degree of text-matching when using Turnitin. These are caused by the use of direct quotations, technical terms and phrases, and the listing of bibliographic material. This does not mean you will automatically be accused of plagiarism.

Further information about Turnitin is available at http://sydney.edu.au/arts/current_students/plagiarism_and_turnitin.shtml. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences assesses student requests for assistance relating to completion of assessment in accordance with the regulations set out in the University Assessment Policy 2011 and Assessment Procedures 2011.

Students can apply for: Special Consideration - for serious illness or misadventure Special Arrangements - for essential community commitments Simple Extension – an extension of up to 5 working days for non-examination based assessment tasks on the grounds of illness or misadventure.
