Description
ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION:
Students are required to analyse the weekly lecture material of weeks 1 to 11 and create concise content analysis summaries of the theoretical concepts contained in the course lecture slides.
Where the lab content or information contained in technical articles from the Internet or books helps
to fully describe the lecture slide content, discussion of such theoretical articles or discussion of the
lab material should be included in the content analysis.
The assignment MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Other formats may not
be readable by markers. Please be aware that any assessments submitted in other formats will be
considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented in Word.
GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSESSMENT TASKS
Content for Assessment Task papers should incorporate a formal introduction, main points and
conclusion.
Appropriate academic writing and referencing are inevitable academic skills that you must develop
and demonstrate in work being presented for assessment. The content of high quality work presented
by a student must be fully referenced within-text citations and a Reference List at the end. Kent
strongly recommends you refer to the Academic Learning Support Workshop materials available on
the Kent Learning Management System (Moodle).
Kent recommends a minimum of FIVE (5) references in work being presented for assessment. Unless
otherwise specifically instructed by your Lecturer or as detailed in the Unit Outline for the specific
Assessment Task, any paper with less than five (5) references may be deemed not meeting a
satisfactory standard and possibly be failed.
Content in Assessment tasks that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the
“Harvard Referencing Workbook” will be penalised.
Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count if this is specifically stated for the
Assessment Task in the Unit Outline. As a general rule there is an allowable discretionary variance to
the word count in that it is generally accepted that a student may go over or under by 10% than the
stated length.
