2.6 Review of Grade, Deferred Exams & Supplementary
Exams/Assessments
Review of Grade:
There may be instances when you believe that your final grade
in a subject does not accurately reflect your
performance against the subject criteria. Section 8 of the
Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy
(www.koi.edu.au) describes the grounds on which you may
apply for a Review of Grade.
If this happens and you are unable to resolve it with the
Academic staff concerned then you can apply for a
formal Review of Grade within the timeframes indicated in the
following sections of this subject outline -
Supplementary Assessments, 3.6 Appeals Process as well as the
Assessment and Assessment Appeals
Policy. Please ensure you read the Review of Grade information
before submitting an application.
Review of Grade Day:
KOI will hold the Review of Grade Day for all subjects studied
in T319 on

Friday 06 March 2020
Only final exams will be discussed as all other assessments
should have been reviewed during the
trimester.
If you fail one or more subjects and you wish to consider
applying for a Review of Grade you MUST attend
the Review of Grade Day. You will have the chance to discuss
your final exam with your lecturer, and will
be advised if you have valid reasons for applying for a Review
of Grade (see Section 3.6 below and
Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy).
If you do not attend the Review of Grade Day you are
considered to have accepted your results for T319.
Deferred Exams:
If you wish to apply for a deferred exam, you should submit an
Application for Assignment Extension or
Deferred Exam Form before the prescribed deadline.
If you miss your mid-trimester or final exam there is no
guarantee you will be offered a deferred exam.
You must apply within the stated timeframe and satisfy the
conditions for approval to be offered a deferred
exam (see Section 8.1 of the Assessment and Assessment
Appeals Policy and the Application for
Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Forms). In assessing
your request for a deferred exam, KOI will

take into account the information you provide, the severity of
the event or circumstance, your performance
on other items of assessment in the subject, class attendance and
your history of previous applications for
special consideration.
Deferred mid-trimester exams will be held before the end of
week 9. Deferred final exams will be held on
two days during week 1 or 2 in the next trimester. You will not
normally be granted a deferred exam on the
grounds that you mistook the time, date or place of an
examination, or that you have made arrangements
to be elsewhere at that time; for example, have booked plane
tickets.
If you are offered a deferred exam, but do not attend you will be
awarded 0 marks for the exam. This may
mean it becomes difficult for you to pass the subject. If you
apply for a deferred exam within the required
time frame and satisfy the conditions you will be advised by
email (to your KOI student email address) of
the time and date for the deferred exam. Please ensure that you
are available to take the exam at this time.
Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded
for that item of assessment towards your
final mark in the subject.

ICT102
Supplementary Assessments (Exams and Assessments):
A supplementary assessment may be offered to students to
provide a final opportunity to demonstrate
successful achievement of the learning outcomes of a subject.
Supplementary assessments are only
offered at the discretion of the Board of Examiners. In
considering whether or not to offer a supplementary
assessment, KOI will take into account your performance on all
the major assessment items in the subject,
your attendance, participation and your history of any previous
special considerations.
Students are eligible for a supplementary assessment for their
final subject in a course where they fail the
subject but have successfully completed all other subjects in the
course. You must have completed all
major assessment tasks for the subject and obtained a passing
mark on at least one of the major
assessment tasks to be eligible for a supplementary assessment.
If you believe you meet the criteria for a supplementary
assessment for the final subject in your course, but
have not received an offer, complete the “Complaint, Grievance,
Appeal Form” and send your form to
[email protected] The deadline for applying for supplementary
assessment is the Friday of the first
week of classes in the next trimester.

If you are offered a supplementary assessment, you will be
advised by email to your KOI student email
address of the time and due date for the supplementary
assessment – supplementary exams will normally
be held at the same time as deferred final exams during week 1
or week 2 of the next trimester.
You must pass the supplementary assessment to pass the
subject. The maximum grade you can achieve
in a subject based on a supplementary assessment is a PASS
grade.
If you:
o are offered a supplementary assessment, but fail it;
o are offered a supplementary exam, but do not attend; or
o are offered a supplementary assessment but do not submit by
the due date;
you will receive a FAIL grade for the subject.
2.7 Teaching Methods/Strategies
Briefly described below are the teaching methods/strategies
used in this subject:

Assessment is designed to encourage effective student learning
and enable students to develop and
demonstrate the skills and knowledge identified in the subject
learning outcomes. Assessment tasks during
the first half of the study period are usually intended to
maximise the developmental function of assessment
(formative assessment). These assessment tasks include weekly
tutorial exercises (as indicated in the
weekly planner) and low stakes graded assessment (as shown in
the graded assessment table). The
major assessment tasks where students demonstrate their
knowledge and skills (summative assessment)

generally occur later in the study period. These are the major
graded assessment items shown in the
graded assessment table.
Final grades are awarded by the Board of Examiners in
accordance with KOI's Assessment and Assessment
Appeals Policy. The definitions and guidelines for the awarding
of final grades within the BIT degree are:
• HD High distinction (85-100%) an outstanding level of
achievement in relation to the assessment process.
• DI Distinction (75-84%) a high level of achievement in
relation to the assessment process.
• CR Credit (65-74%) a better than satisfactory level of
achievement in relation to the assessment process.
• P Pass (50-64%) a satisfactory level of achievement in relation
to the assessment process.
• F Fail (0-49%) an unsatisfactory level of achievement in
relation to the assessment process.
• FW This grade will be assigned when a student did not submit

Question 1: Java Fundamentals (5 points)
You are organising a 21st birthday party for your best friend.
You have booked a venue at Darling Harbour
that will charge $60 per guest. The venue will also charge you a
$200 fee if there are less than 40 guests.
You invite 50 people to the birthday party. 37 people tell you
they are planning to attend and 5 people tell
you they cannot attend the party.
Write a program that displays the following information:
* The number of people who have not yet told you if they can
attend the party.
* The number of people that need to advise you they can attend,
so that you don’t need to pay the extra
$200 fee.
* Calculate and print the total cost of the party given the current
number of people who have told you they
can attend the party.
* Calculate and print the total cost of the party if all the people
who have not replied to the party invitation
yet can come.
Question 2: Nested loops (5 points)
At the party, the DJ allows the guests to vote for their favourite
songs, and the last song of the party is the
most popular song. The DJ will give a list of five songs to ten
random guests and ask them to choose their
favourite song. The song which receives the most votes will be

the most popular song. If there is more than
one song which receives the most votes, then any of the most
popular songs can be played as the final
song of the night.
Write a program that will complete the following tasks:
* Show each of the 10 users user a list of all the five songs and
ask them to choose their favourite.
* Store the votes for the songs in an array, where the first
element of the array in the number of votes for
the first song, and so on.
* Determine the most popular song.
* Print out the most popular song and the number of votes for
the most popular song. If more than one
song is voted the most popular, then any of them may be printed
out.
Question 3: 2D Arrays (5 points)
The DJ for the party needs to calculate some information about
their planned song playlist for the party.
Write a program to input the number of minutes and the number
of seconds for each of the songs in the
planned song playlist. The program should first ask for the
number of songs in the planned song playlist.
The program will ask for two numbers for each song, which is
the number of minutes and the number of
seconds. For example, a song that plays for two minutes and 30
seconds can be input as 2 and 30.

31/10/2019 16:59 PAGE 10 OF 15
03171A
ICT102
The program should print out the total playing time for all the
songs, displayed as a number of minutes and
seconds. Remember there are 60 seconds in a minute.
Question 4: Strings (5 points)
Write a program that asks for two parallel arrays of String
objects. One of the arrays will hold the first
names of the guests, and the other array will hold the last names
of the guests.
The guests will be allocated to sit at a table at the party. Some
of the guests will be seated at a special
birthday table with your friend whose birthday you are
celebrating. Those with a first name that starts with
the same letter as the first name of your birthday friend will be
sitting at the special birthday table.
Write a program that will complete the following tasks:
* Ask the user for the number of guests to be seated.
* Ask for the first name of the person having the birthday.

* Ask the user for the first and last names of each guest, and
store them in two parallel arrays.
* Print out the names of those sitting at the special birthday
table. Print the first names in lowercase, and
the last names in uppercase.
Marking Guide: Students will be marked according to the
implementation of the basic concepts covered in
this subject. Some elements are of critical importance, and
failure to identify and address these properly
will result in low marks.
