1 About Master Project 1
1.1 An Introduction to this Unit
This unit is a problem based project unit. Students are expected to conduct self studies under supervision by academic
staff. Students will identify research topics in consultation with supervisors, carry out literature survey in one of the
fields of engineering, construction, information technology or data science. Students will be required to
define research objectives and scope, establish research methodology and prepare a research plan.
1.2 What is Expected of You
Study Load
A student is expected to study an hour per credit point a week. For example a 10 credit point unit would require 10
hours of study per week. This time includes the time spent within classes during lectures, tutorials or practicals.
Attendance
Attendance by external students to the workshop is non-compulsory, but highly recommended. All students must
make the final oral presentation for this unit. However, students who enroll in 300597 and 300598 concurrently are
required to make one final presentation only (for both 300597 and 300598).
Online Learning Requirements
Unit materials will be made available on the unit’s vUWS (E-Learning) site (https://vuws.westernsydney.edu.au/).
You are expected to consult vUWS at least twice a week, as all unit announcements will be made via vUWS. Teaching
and learning materials will be regularly updated and posted online by the teaching team.
vUWS – The unit outline, learning guide, workshop handouts and various reading materials will be delivered via
e-learning.

1.3 Changes to Unit as a Result of Past Student Feedback
The University values student feedback in order to improve the quality of its educational programs. The feedback
provided helps us improve teaching methods and units of study. The survey results inform unit content and design,
learning guides, teaching methods, assessment processes and teaching materials.
You are welcome to provide feedback that is related to the teaching of this unit. At the end of the semester
you will be given the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback on Unit (SFU) questionnaire to assess the unit.
You may also have the opportunity to complete a Student Feedback on Teaching (SFT) questionnaire to provide
feedback for individual teaching staff.
As a result of student feedback, the following changes and improvements to this unit have recently been made:
– There is only one 2-hour workshop in Week 1, which gives students more time to consult with their supervisors
and work on the project.

Marking Guideline for the Progress Report
High Distinction (>85%) Distinction (75-84%) Credit (65-74%) Pass (50-64%) Fail (<50%) Expected standards are met throughout the report.Most standards are achieved beyond the expected levels (e.g. a significant amount of progress is made during the first semester itself, a comprehensive literature review which is submitted or ready for submission as journal or conference paper). Expected standards are met throughout the report (barring a few minor mistakes). Most of the expected standards are mostly met while a few expected standards are only partially met (e.g. referencing is not complete or does not follow a standard referencing style, a relevant literature review presented but does not clearly show the knowledge gap). All expected standards are met but some with some deficiencies (e.g. methodology is given but not clearly explained with respect to the project requirements, non-standard or incorrect referencing is used). Some of the expected standards are not met (e.g. the methodology is not appropriate or missing, the literature review is incomplete or does not fulfil the underlined research aims, no attempt is made to make any progress, frequent errors in sentence structure and grammar which distract the reader). 11 2.6 General Submission Requirements Submission – All assignments must be submitted by the specified due date and time. – Complete your assignment and follow the individual assessment item instructions on how to submit. You must keep a copy of all assignments submitted for marking. Turnitin – The Turnitin plagiarism prevention system may be used within this unit. Turnitin is accessed via logging into vUWS for the unit. If Turnitin is being used with this unit, this means that your assignments have to be submitted through the Turnitin system. Turnitin from iParadigms is a web-based text-matching software that identifies and reports on similarities between documents. It is also widely utilised as a tool to improve academic writing skills. Turnitin compares electronically submitted papers against the following: – Current and archived web: Turnitin currently contains over 24 billion web pages including archived pages – Student papers: including Western Sydney University student submissions since 2007 – Scholarly literature: Turnitin has partnered with leading content publishers, including library databases, text-book publishers, digital reference collections and subscription-based publications (e.g. Gale, Proquest, Emerald and Sage) – Turnitin is used by over 30 universities in Australia and is increasingly seen as an industry standard. It is an important tool to assist students with their academic writing by promoting awareness of plagiarism.By submitting your assignment to Turnitin you will be certifying that: – I hold a copy of this assignment if the original is lost or damaged – No part of this assignment has been copied from any other student‘Ă‘Źs work or from any other source except where due acknowledgement is made in the assignment – No part of the assignment has been written for me by any other person/s – I have complied with the specified word length for this assignment – I am aware that this work may be reproduced and submitted to plagiarism detection software programs for the purpose of detecting possible plagiarism (which may retain a copy on its database for future plagiarism checking). Self-Plagiarising – You are to ensure that no part of any submitted assignment for this unit or product has been submitted by yourself in another (previous or current) assessment from any unit, except where appropriately referenced, and with prior permission form the Lecturer/Tutor/Unit Co-ordinator of this unit. Late Submission – If you submit a late assessment, without receiving approval for an extension of time, (see next item), you will be penalised by 10% per day for up to 10 days. In other words, marks equal to 10% of the assignment’s weight will be deducted from the mark awarded. – For example, if the highest mark possible is 50, 5 marks will be deducted from your awarded mark for each late day. – Saturday and Sunday are counted as one calendar day each. – Assessments will not be accepted after the marked assessment task has been returned to students. – This is consistent with Clause 51 of the Western Sydney University’s Assessment Policy - Criteria and StandardsBased Assessment. Extension of Due Date for Submission Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances. To apply for an extension of time, locate an application form via the Western Sydney University homepage or copy the following link: https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current students/forms Application forms must be submitted to the Unit Coordinator. Requests for extension should be made as early as possible and submitted within policy deadlines. Appropriate, supporting documentation must be submitted with the application. An application for an extension does not automatically mean that an extension will be granted. Assessments will not be accepted after the marked assessment task has been returned to students. Resubmission Resubmission of assessment items will not normally be granted if requested. 12 Application for Special Consideration It is strongly recommended that you attend all scheduled learning activities to support your learning. If you have suffered misadventure, illness, or you have experienced exceptional circumstances that have prevented your attendance at class or your completion and submission of assessment tasks, you may need to apply for Special Consideration via the Western Sydney University website. https://monkessays.com/write-my-essay/westernsydney.edu.au/currentstudents/current students/services and facilities/special consideration2 or the Student Centre. Special Consideration is not automatically granted. It is your responsibility to ensure that any missed content has been covered. Your lecturer will give you more information on how this must be done. 13 3 Teaching and Learning Activities Weeks Instructions Assessments Due Week 1 30-07-2018 2-hour information session.
