OBJECTIVES & GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES 

POLS 1301 has several objectives: 

• To develop a basic knowledge of the main categories of political thought 

• To develop an appreciation of how political ideas are used in contemporary 

political debate 

• To develop both verbal and written skills in critical analysis; a particular focus of 

POLS1301 will be the identification and evaluation of political arguments. 

In accordance with the University of Queensland’s policy on Graduate Attributes, POLS1301 

is designed to help you develop a number of attributes. These include 

• a comprehensive and well-founded knowledge of political ideas. 

• The ability to collect, analyse and organise information and ideas and to convey 

those ideas clearly and fluently, in both written and spoken forms. 

• The ability to evaluate opinions, make decisions and to reflect critically upon

Wednesday 1 June. 

Note: Marking criteria for all assessment items will be distributed at lectures and 

posted on the School web site (http://www.polsis.uq.edu.au) under Student 

Resources & POLS1301. Students should consult these marking criteria before 

submitting assessment items. 

ASSESSMENT DETAILS - TUTORIAL ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION 

The tutorial program aims to develop a comprehensive and well-founded understanding of 

political ideas. It also aims to develop verbal skills in the identification and evaluation of 

political arguments. 

Each week, to prepare for tutorials, you should: 

• review relevant lecture notes 

• read the assigned reading. All items assigned for tutorial reading are listed below 

(see Tutorial Program). Students are expected to complete the assigned reading for 

tutorials each week. 

Marks for tutorial attendance will accrue at the rate of 1 mark per tutorial (max 10/10). As 

there are 11 scheduled tutorials you may miss one tutorial without incurring any penalty. 

Marks for tutorial participation will be allocated at the end of semester according to the 

overall contribution you have made to tutorial discussion across the semester. By 

'contribution' I mean thoughtful comments that are relevant to the discussion and which 

demonstrate both a knowledge and understanding of the assigned reading. If you have 

completed all the assigned reading, it is important to attempt to participate in the tutorial 

discussion (your tutor will facilitate this) and you will be rewarded for sensible attempts even 

if this is done imperfectly (eg nervously) and even if you are not 100% accurate. Students 

who have not completed the assigned reading should not participate in the discussion 

(ignorance of the assigned reading will usually be obvious to your tutor & will lead to a loss 

of marks for tutorial participation over the semester). 

If you are unable to attend tutorials regularly or, for any reason, are unable (or do not want) to 

participate in tutorial discussion, you should speak to your tutor who will set additional 


Course Guide 


written work to be completed in place of attendance and/or participation. All additional 

written work will need to be completed at or before the last tutorial (Week 12). 

ASSESSMENT DETAILS - ESSAY DRAFT 

In order to develop skills in written analysis – particularly in the identification and 

evaluation of political ideas – you are being asked to write an essay of 2000 words. There 

are two Essay Topics: 

Either: 

Or 

1.’ The world and/or Australia needs more liberalism’ Do you agree or disagree? 

2.’ The world and/or Australia needs more conservatism’ Do you agree or disagree? 

Before you prepare the final version of your essay we want you to think carefully about 

your argument and get some specific feedback from your tutor. Consequently, we are 

asking you to prepare an Essay Draft of 1000 words; this will be worth 10% of your total 

assessment for POLS1301. 

The Essay Draft should be presented for assessment in three parts: 

Part A (200 words max; 2 and ½ marks possible). - Statement of your overall argument. 

Make clear which question you are answering AND your exact response to the quotation 

(ie say whether you agree or disagree). Note that several sorts of responses are possible. 

For example, your overall argument for the first question could be ‘The world/Australia 

needs more liberalism’ or ‘The world/Australia does not need more liberalism’ or ‘The 

world/Australia does not need more liberalism but more socialism’ (anarchism, 

environmentalism, etc). 

Part B (300 words max; 2 and ½ marks possible) – Short description of either Liberalism 

or Conservatism. In the draft (but not in the essay) this section may be presented in point 

form. 

Part C (500 words; 5 marks possible) – At least three reasons why you think your 

argument is correct. Make sure you fully explain these reasons (so another person can 

understand them) and offer some ‘evidence’ to support your claims. There are two sorts of 

‘evidence’ that will be particularly useful for POLS1301: 

• Other authors who confirm your opinion (see especially your textbook, the Course 

Reader, and authors in the Recommended Readings at the end of this Course 

Outline). 

• Examples drawn from current or past events in the world/Australia. Indicate how 

these events help substantiate your claims (eg that the world/Australia needs more 

liberalism or conservatism). 

Your completed Essay Draft should be handed to your tutor at your tutorial in week 6 (ie 

in the week beginning Monday 11 April). Please make sure your draft has a cover sheet 

detailing your name, student number and tutorial time. 


Course Guide 


ASSESMENT DETAILS - ESSAY 

Essay Topics can be found above - in the ‘Essay Draft’ section. Essays are to be of 2000 

words and should both present and defend an argument (ie a response to the question, Do 

you agree or disagree?). Further advice on essay preparation will be given in lectures and 

tutorials. A complete version of the Marking Criteria for the Essay will be distributed in 

Week 3 lectures and will be posted on the School web site, however, please note the 

following: 

• In your Essays you should use as much of the assigned reading material for POLS 

1301 as possible – eg textbook, tutorial readings, ‘Recommended Readings’ (at the 

back of this Course Outline) and/or other printed sources obtained from the library. 

You may also use a few internet sources. The minimum requirement for the essay is 

SIX different readings/sources; these should be visibly utilised in the body of the 

essay and cited in the Reference List at the end of your essay. Only two internet 

sources will be counted towards this minimum requirement of six readings/sources. 

• All sources/reading utilised in the essay must be properly referenced (See the 

Schools Essay Guide). The guide can be obtained from the School’s Enquires 

Office (Level 5, General Purpose North III/Building 39A) or downloaded from the 

“Handbooks” section of the school’s website (http:www.polsis.uq.edu.au/) 

The penalties for plagiarism are serious – see below. 

• Completed Essays should be placed in the Assignment box at the Inquiries Office, 

School of Political Science and International Studies (General Purpose North 

Building 39A Level 5) by 12 noon on Friday 29 April. 

• Students seeking an extension of this deadline must contact the course co-ordinator, 

Dr Sullivan, beforehand. Extensions will not normally be granted without 

documentary evidence (eg a medical certificate or a letter from a counsellor) of 

illness or misadventure. 

• Students who submit late papers – without an official extension – will be penalised 

by the deduction of three marks (out of a total of 35 marks) for each overdue day. 

ASSESSMENT DETAILS - EXAM OR ADDITIONAL ESSAY 

There will be an examination at the lecture in Week 13 – ie 12-2pm on Wednesday 1 June. The 

exam will test your knowledge of the material presented in lectures and tutorials. If you have 

attended all your lectures and tutorials and completed all the required reading for tutorials you 

will not need to do any additional research or reading in order to pass the examination. 

The exam will be conducted ‘open book’ which means that you may bring books, lecture 

notes, papers (whatever you require) into the exam room. 

Students who do not wish to sit the exam – or who are likely to be absent on Wednesday 2 nd 

June – may complete an additional essay in place of the exam. Essay topics will be distributed 

by week 6. All essays must be submitted by 2pm on Wednesday 1 st June. No extensions will be 

available without documentary evidence of illness or misadventure. 


Course Guide 


CALCULATION OF GRADES 

Marks will totalled from all of the above assessment items. Each 1% will count for 1 mark. 

Grades will then be allocated according to the following % distributions: 

Grade of 7 – 85% or greater 

Grade of 6 – 75-84.5% 






RE-MARKING 

Students who think their work has not been fairly assessed should, in the first instance, 

consult with the Course Coordinator, Dr Sullivan (not tutors). A re-mark may be 

recommended. 

Further details of the School and University’s remarking policy are available at: 

http://www.polsis.uq.edu.au/materials/UQ_Request_for_Remark.doc. To request a remark 

for a piece of assessment, you should complete the University’s “Request for 

Assessment Re-Marking” form. 

You should be aware that if the re-mark is granted and the second mark is lower than the 

first, the lower mark may prevail. 

PLAGIARISM 

Plagiarism is cheating and a major violation of the University’s academic values. The 

Vice-Chancellor requires academic staff to report any student who has plagiarised the work 

of another person. Students who cheat are liable to disciplinary proceedings. 

The Vice-Chancellor’s definition of plagiarism is “the action or practice of taking and 

using as one’s own the thoughts or writings of another (without acknowledgement)”. The 

following constitute acts of plagiarism: 

• sentences, a single sentence or significant parts of a sentence are copied directly 

but are not enclosed in quotation marks and appropriately cited. 

• ‘block quotes’ are not cited correctly 


Course Guide 


• The words of others are paraphrased or summarised and the source of the 

material is not acknowledged either by citation or other simple reference within 

the text of the essay. 

• An idea that appears in printed material or film is used or developed with 

reference being made to the author or the source of that idea. 

Students should note that the definition of ‘printed material’ includes downloading text 

from the internet (without acknowledgement). 

Students should also note that even plagiarism that is unintended and arises because of 

faulty note taking and/or faulty essay writing technique can result in serious consequences. 

For this reason, students should be meticulous in keeping a proper record of all reference 

details when taking notes from other people’s work. 

In the marking of your essays we will be using software designed to detect plagiarism. 

The School takes the issue of plagiarism very seriously, and all incidents of suspected 

plagiarism will be referred to the Head of School. The penalty for students caught 

cheating is a mark of zero (0) for the piece of assessment, which will therefore often lead 

to a failing grade for the course.
