1999 Art and Design Handbook

Assessment

Students should note carefully the general information on assessment of students contained in the Student resource guide. The faculty uses a variety of methods for assessing the performance of enrolled students including assignments and other prepared work, practical work, attendance, presentations and performance. The specific means of assessment for each subject is generally included within the outlines of subjects contained in this handbook. Further information, including prerequisites and reading lists, may be also distributed at the initial class for each subject.
In terms of assessment grades, the faculty applies the following grades and symbols to its subjects according to marks allocated:

Subject mark	Grade
80-100	High distinction (HD)
70-79	Distinction (D)
60-69	Credit (C)
50-59	Pass (P)
45-49	Near Pass (NP) (all campuses) or Fail (N)
0-44	Fail (N)

NP grades are only to be used in exceptional circumstances according to the granting of special consideration. Only one NP grade per academic year should be granted with no more than three throughout a degree. NP grades are normally not granted in core subjects or in sequences of subject.
