Assessment advice

JCU takes an educative approach to academic integrity and has launched a new Coursework Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure in January 2021. Please familiarise yourself with the policy and procedures, in particular your responsibilities as a student.

Information:

Declaration and Statement of Authorship

When submitting an assignment in LearnJCU you will be prompted to agree to the "Declaration and Statement of Authorship".

Declaration and Statement of Authorship

This assessment is my original work, and no part was copied/reproduced from any other person’s work or any other source, without attribution. This original work adheres to group assessment rules and was not written for me by any other person. I have not submitted any part of this assessment previously and received a grade.

How to submit an assignment in LearnJCU Ultra

Assessment tasks instructions

Specific instructions for each subject's assessment tasks can be found in your 'Subject Outline'. Your subject coordinator will often place your Subject outline in the first folder of your Subject Content.

Submitting assignments

Step-by-step version

  • Expand the assessment folder in your subject content and click on the assessment task you wish to submit.
  • A side panel will open. Click on the 'View assessment' button (at the bottom of panel). This will open your assessment task, with description, instructions and submission area.
  • Click on the 'Add content' button in the submission area to bring up an editor text box where you will submit your assignment.
  • Click on 'Insert Local Files' (paperclip icon) in the text editor toolbar.
  • Browse your file locations and select your assessment, click 'Open', rename it if you like, then click 'Save'.
  • Once you see your file in the submission box, and you have checked everything is ready to go, click the 'Submit' button.
  • Be sure to check your lecturers instructions for each assessment. In most cases you will be asked to submit a file rather than typing your content straight into the submission box. This helps the lecturer in marking and providing feedback on your assignment.

Note: Attempt is counted when you click on 'Submit' not 'View assessment'. When you exit the assessment item without submitting, the status of your assessment will be 'Draft saved on xx/xx/xxxx'.

How to name files

  • Subject Code - Assessment Number - Surname (Example: MX1001_AssessmentTask2_Smith)
  • Avoid using symbols or spaces, for example: SS0000 Assessment 1 Smith
