Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions 14.5.5 Can I articulate into a PhD program? 14.6 Assignments 14.6.1 Where do I submit assignments? 14.6.2 How should I prepare documents for assignments? 14.6.3 What is the reject box? 14.6.4 What happens if my assignment is late? 74 Students in MC063 or GD059 who have completed eight approved courses are eligible to apply for a Graduate Diploma in Internet and Web Computing. Students who complete their MC061 Master of Applied Science (Information Technology) program and do exceptionally well (CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) of at least 3.0) will be considered for articulation. A recommendation to this effect will ordinarily also be made by the examiner of the minor thesis. MC062 Master of Technology (Information Technology) and MC063 Master of Technology (Internet and Web Computing) students with a CGPA of at least 3.0 will need to undertake the Graduate Certificate in Computer Science Research GC110 with Minor Thesis before they can be considered for a PhD program. Students in this position should contact: Ms Beti Dimitrievska Research Administrator Email: beti@cs.rmit.edu.au Telephone: 9925 2287 Fax: 9662 1617 See also “Plagiarism” on page 93. Lecturers vary as to their requirements and will usually state their requirements when assigning them or within the course guide. Most will use electronic submission. Unless the course uses RMIT’s DLS system, electronic submission implies that you use the turnin command on numbat or yallara. Your lecturer should issue the exact commands needed for a particular assignment. Be sure to verify that your assignment files have been submitted properly. When in doubt, check with the CSIT Duty Programmers (see page 81) or with the CSIT School Office (see page 98). Unless you have access to a word processor, you should consider using LaTeX. On Linux you can use lyx. On OSX you can use TeXShop. Some free latex programs are available via ftp. There are also manuals in technical bookstores and a help menu under the study aids link at: https://inside.cs.rmit.edu.au/support/docs/ By all means, if you have a machine at home (see “Computer Purchase” on page 80) use whatever word processor you wish, but it is best to use predefined scientific templates. We recommend LaTeX because the document often ends up looking a lot better and it has superior capabilities to deal with mathematics and bibliographies. This is a box at the School Office which is used to keep those hard copy assignments which have no face sheet or, have been incorrectly labelled. If you suspect you have not labelled your assignment correctly, check with the School Office (see page 98). This depends on each individual assignment and lecturer. This should be described in the course guide you receive at the first lecture, or on the assignment itself. The general rule is 10% (of the total available marks) less everyday for the first five days and then 100% afterwards. We do make certain allowances for part timers, but these need to be the exception rather than the rule.
14.6.5 Why are the labs so packed when assignments are due? 14.6.6 Should I keep a copy of any assignment I submit? 14.7 At Risk 14.7.1 What does it mean to be “at risk”? 14.7.2 What is an “at risk” letter? 14.8 Awards 14.8.1 What awards can I obtain as part of my program? 14.8.2 How do I obtain a degree/award with ‘Distinction’? Chapter 14: Frequently asked questions This is because everyone seems to delay doing their assignments until the last minute. This is not a good idea. Murphy’s Law will invariably imply that a machine will go down on the day before an assignment is due. This is normal. Machines go down. Your schedule should accommodate this scenario. The moral: start early, finish early! In a word, “yes”. Always keep a separate electronic copy of all assignments submitted. “At Risk” students are defined as any of the following: • Anyone who has on two occasions failed the same major course within the program • Anyone who fails (or is likely to fail as identified from their mid-year progress) the equivalent of 50% or more of their total credit point enrolment in one academic year • Anyone whose progress through a program is likely to lead to failure to complete within the maximum time limit Students identified as being “at risk” are sent a letter by the School inviting them to attend an interview regarding their academic performance. The discussion and outcome of that interview will be documented. Students will be sent a follow-up letter advising of the outcome of the interview and possibility of exclusion if academic performance does not improve. Students will be advised of the various assistance options available to them. For more information on the University’s academic policies and procedures on this matter, go to http://www.rmit.edu.au/corporate-governance , click “RMIT Policies” and then “students” to check the “Student Progress” section. Within most of the Masters programs you can obtain intermediate awards such as a Graduate Certificate (after completing 4 approved courses) or a Graduate Diploma (after completing 8 approved courses). Graduate Diploma students can also obtain a Graduate Certificate within their program. Your enrolment will remain active even though you have obtained the award providing you are still enrolled in the ‘parent’ program. Students should refer to individual program plans to determine which are ‘approved’ courses to obtain their intermediate award. Students who obtain an average result of 75 or more, including any failed results when applying for a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma are eligible for an ‘Award with Distinction’. There is no Master with Distinction. 75
