Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information
• Student Surveys and Evaluations
• Deferred Examinations
• Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Assessment Task 1

Written Tests

There are four major in-class written tests in the course of the course. The questions in these tests are drawn entirely from the exercises in the set text The Indonesian Way. Mastery of pronunciation and fluency in conversation is NOT tested in these tests (these are assessed in the instructors’ assessment and in the oral examinations). Therefore do well in a written test you need to have completed all the exercises and memorised all the vocabulary in the relevant module.The four tests are worth 7.5% each or a total of 30% of your final assessment.

Assessment Task 2

Quick Quizzes

There are four “Quick Quizzes”. Each quiz takes just five minutes to do and is marked on the spot in the classroom. The Quick Quiz consists of 25 short-answer questions which test materials studied in the previous 1-2 weeks. The four quizzes are worth 2.5% each or 10% of your final assessment.

Assessment Task 3

Instructors’ Assessment

Your instructors will make notes on your classroom performance. At the end of the semester, these will be collated to produce the “instructors’ assessment” which is worth 10% of your final mark. The main items to be assessed are:

• evidence of preparation for classes (bearing in mind lessons in The Indonesian Way should be studied prior to practice in class),
• the quality of participation in pairs, role plays and other classroom activities,
• correctness, fluency and creativity in use of Indonesian in class, and
• pronunciation.

Assessment Task 4

Mid Oral Exam

The main objective of the Indonesian 1A course is to give you a strong foundation in speaking skills, and the emphasis in class work is on speaking skills. So it is essential and appropriate that the lion’s share of marks be allocated for the assessment of speaking skills. This is why there are two oral examinations worth a total of 50% of your final result.

The oral examinations test your communicative competence in Indonesian. Most marks are awarded for capacity to communicate in Indonesian in a conversational situation. Marks are also allocated for correctness of pronunciation and command of grammar and vocabulary.

You take the mid-semester oral exam in pairs. You choose your partner well before the examination and you should practise intensively with him/her before taking the exam. You are assessed by an examiner, a regular instructor of Indonesian 1A. The examination is audio-recorded. After the announcement of results, you will receive a copy of the examiners' written notes about your performance.

The oral examinations last for 10-15 minutes and comprise a role play/dialogue or a narrative. Given the brevity of the examinations it is imperative that you show initiative, creativity, fluency and capacity to keep calm during the twists and turns of a conversation. You will be given two topics/situations that have been covered in The Indonesian Way and practiced intensively in class. You will be given a confirmed list of these topics/situations two weeks before each examination. You act out each of the two topics.

For the mid-oral exam, you are free to choose the role for which you are best prepared and which you can best show off what you can do. For the final oral exam, see the details below.

You should note the following points about the oral examinations:

** You and your partner are expected to keep the role play/dialogue going between you. (Or, in the case of the end-of-semester exam, you are expected to keep the narrative going yourself.) While an examiner may prompt you if you apparently run out of suitable material, this should not be necessary.)

** You will not be given any preparation time, and you are not permitted to refer to notes or a dictionary. However, you are encouraged to bring aids and accessories to the exam. These can be, for example, pictures, a wall map, name tags, costumes, objects, brochures -- in short, whatever will help you speak better and make your dialogues more vivid.

An Important Final Word on the Oral Exams

In a course of language study that emphasizes capacity to talk, some kind of oral assessment is unavoidable. But some students find oral examinations stressful. The oral examination should be conducted in a manner that enables you to perform to the best you are capable of. If you think that the format of the exam may be intimidating or too stressful for you, inform the teaching staff of your concerns as early as possible before the examination. If necessary a more acceptable, less stressful, way to conduct the examination can be worked out for you. Any discussion of, and alteration to, the format of the examination will be totally confidential. Naturally, no discussion on the conduct of the examination will be entered into after it has been held.

Assessment Task 5

Final Oral Exam

The Final Oral exam is worth 30%. The details are the same as the Mid Oral exam, except the following: (a) you take the end-of-semester oral exam alone, and (b) you will narrate the two topics.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically. This means that all members of the community commit to honest and responsible scholarly practice and to upholding these values with respect and fairness. The Australian National University commits to embedding the values of academic integrity in our teaching and learning. We ensure that all members of our community understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with. The University has policies and procedures in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Visit the following Academic honesty & plagiarism website for more information about academic integrity and what the ANU considers academic misconduct. The ANU offers a number of services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. The Academic Skills and Learning Centre offers a number of workshops and seminars that you may find useful for your studies.

Online Submission

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.

Hardcopy Submission

For some forms of assessment (hand written assignments, art works, laboratory notes, etc.) hard copy submission is appropriate when approved by the Associate Dean (Education). Hard copy submissions must utilise the Assignment Cover Sheet. Please keep a copy of tasks completed for your records.

Late Submission

Late submission of assessment tasks without an extension are penalised at the rate of 5% of the possible marks available per working day or part thereof. Late submission of assessment tasks is not accepted after 10 working days after the due date, or on or after the date specified in the course outline for the return of the assessment item. Late submission is not accepted for take-home examinations.

Referencing Requirements

Accepted academic practice for referencing sources that you use in presentations can be found via the links on the Wattle site, under the file named “ANU and College Policies, Program Information, Student Support Services and Assessment”. Alternatively, you can seek help through the Students Learning Development website.

Extensions and Penalties

Extensions and late submission of assessment pieces are covered by the Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure The Course Convener may grant extensions for assessment pieces that are not examinations or take-home examinations. If you need an extension, you must request an extension in writing on or before the due date. If you have documented and appropriate medical evidence that demonstrates you were not able to request an extension on or before the due date, you may be able to request it after the due date.

Privacy Notice
