You will submit your Individual Report on the ITD101 Blackboard site.
To do this, follow these steps:
Click Assessment (left-hand panel) -> Assessment: Individual Report -
Submission: Individual Report.
Read the assignment document and the marking criteria at the end of
this document.
Complete the tasks.
Attach a single document and ensure the criteria in the required report
template is followed.
Note: We usually use online web-based text-matching software such as
QUT SafeAssign DirectSubmit to compare electronically submitted
reports. When your papers are submitted into blackboard, sections of the
your reports that match other sources (including past and present student
submissions) are highlighted and identified. The the highlighted matched
text forms an Originality Report and will be made available to us. We
strongly encourage you to think twice before plagiarising.
Late Submissions & Extensions
We cannot accept late submissions! This means that if you submit your
assignment a second after 11:59 pm on Friday the 14th of April, you will
receive a mark of 0/36%. QUT has a strict policy on late submissions
and any relaxation of this policy is highly unlikely provided that you
have used the Blackboard submission system before. Please refer to

2. QUT’s Late Submission Policy available at:
http://www.mopp.qut.edu.au/E/E_06_08.jsp#E_06_08.02.mdoc. Make
absolutely sure that you submit on time and don’t leave things to the last
minute!
Academic Misconduct and Dishonesty
We will be using plagiarism software to detect irregularities in your
reports. If we detect any, we will have to report the irregularities. In
cases where QUT finds major breaches to academic integrity, the
consequences can be severe (up to permanent expulsion from
University). We strongly encourage you to think twice before
plagiarising (both plagiarising yourself as well as letting others
plagiarise your work) as it is often better not to submit anything than
submitting the work of others.
Report Writing & Language Expectations
You are required to use a report writing style. This includes the correct
use of English and we strongly encourage you to check your work
before you submit it. Improper use of English (SMS language, no
commas, full stops, etc.) will result in deductions from your mark.
