A Note from your Unit Coordinator

Welcome to SIT151 Game Fundamentals! In this unit we introduce you to fundamental concepts of game

design and development. This includes analysing games to better understand what makes them tick and

learning professional game terminology to communicate development concepts. We also put the theory into

practice by building a game ourselves from scratch, using an industry standard tool – the Unreal 4 Engine.

Game design and development can be challenging, but also a deeply rewarding and valuable experience. So

bring your a-game and enjoy! You should always read this unit guide first and check it frequently when

preparing to study, or embarking on assignment work.

Determination of Final Grade

This unit does not have a hurdle requirement. Students must achieve at least 50% in the unit overall, to

obtain a passing grade in the unit.

In-Trimester Assessments

It is the responsibility of a student to sit for a test/assessment on the scheduled date, according to the class

they are enrolled in.

Assessment Reviews

Review of Assessment during a Trimester

During the course of a trimester, students will be provided with feedback on their performance in all

assessment tasks. It is expected that students will discuss any issues directly with their lecturer.

Limited grounds for a review of assessment are available and students are referred to the Assessment Policy

for further information (available from the Deakin College website). A Review of Assessment during a

Trimester form must be completed and submitted within 5 working days of publication of the result for the

particular piece of assessment.

Review of Assessment at the End of a Trimester

If a student reasonably believes that a final grade has not been added or processed correctly, he or she may

apply for a review of final grade by completing the Review of Final Grade Application. Applications must be

submitted to Deakin College Reception within 5 working days of the publication of the final results.

A review of final grade involves review and checking of marks - it does NOT involve a review or remarking of

individual pieces of assessment.

Special Consideration

Special Consideration may be provided to students who are prevented from performing to the best of their

ability in a particular piece of assessment, including a scheduled examination, due to serious and

exceptional circumstances beyond their control. Examples of such circumstances are provided in the

Assessment Policy (available from the Deakin College website) and include serious illness or injury, hardship

or trauma.

Students are required to complete a Special Consideration Application (available from the Student Portal

under Documents/Forms) and submit this to Deakin College Reception, together with supporting

documentation before the assessment due date, or within 3 working days after the submission/timetabled

date of the relevant piece of assessment. Page 3 (‘Health Practitioner Certificate’) of the Special

Consideration Application must be completed by a health practitioner for applications on medical, health or

psychological grounds. Please refer to the Assessment Policy for further information.

Students who require an assignment extension should not apply for special consideration but must

complete a Request for Extension of Assignment Dues Date form (available from the Student Portal under

Documents/Forms).

Academic Misconduct

Students should familiarise themselves with the Academic Integrity Policy (available from the Deakin College

website).

Academic misconduct is a serious offence in academia. These include plagiarism, collusion, cheating and

‘misrepresentations’ (which includes falsification of documents). Penalties will be applied consistently with

the Academic Integrity Policy.

Plagiarism The act of presenting the work of another person(s) as though it is one’s own original work,

whether intentionally or by accident, without proper reference of the original source or sources.

Collusion Work that is produced in part or in whole by unauthorised collaboration with other person(s)

which is then presented by any of the parties as their own work.

Cheating Any dishonest conduct whether in an assessment or in any representation. For example,

communication with another student during an examination, having unauthorised notes during an

examination - the notes may be on or in an object, a data storage device or on any part of the body, or

‘contract cheating’, which is the purchasing work or commissioning another person or website to

produce a work which is then passed off as your own.

Misrepresentation As assertion by words, conduct or non-disclosure of information which creates a

false status or is not consistent with the facts.

Whenever you refer to another person’s research or ideas (whether by directly quoting or by paraphrasing

them) you MUST acknowledge that source. Copying paragraphs from the internet and presenting them as

your own work is plagiarism. If you download and copy paragraphs from the internet, you must identify the

source.

You MUST acknowledge the sources that you have drawn on. This is a necessary courtesy to the original

authors, and also allows the readers of your work to follow up on any points that you have raised.

If you directly copy another writer's phrase, sentence or paragraph, then you should use quotation marks

and note the source of the quote. If you use another writer's ideas, but not his or her exact words, you should

again note the source. There are a number of ways by which you can refer to other people's work.

The main referencing method used at Deakin College is the Harvard referencing method, which involves

noting the author's name, the title of the article and journal, or book, the year of publication, the journal's

volume number, the book publisher's name and location, and the relevant page numbers.

A copy of Guide to Assignment Writing and Referencing is available on the Deakin University website:

http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support/referencing/harvard

Assignment Submission

Assignments must be submitted by the due date. The Assignment Cover Sheet (available from the Student

Portal under Documents/Forms), must be submitted and signed when submitting a hard copy assignment. It

should be attached it to their assignment and then submitted with the completed assignment as outlined in

the assignment details. (Assignments will not be accepted at Deakin College Reception).

Students must keep a copy of each assignment submitted and must be able to produce the copy in the

unlikely event that the original assignment is misplaced. Students must maintain backup copies of all their

assignment work. Electronic loss of data is common, but is NOT a satisfactory excuse for an extension of a

submission date.

Any work that you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting

collusion and/or plagiarism. It is Deakin College policy that the period between submission and marking of

assignments should not normally exceed fifteen (15) working days to allow for timely feedback to students

on their progress.

Late Submission of Assignments

Extension of an assignment submission date

If there is a compelling reason why you are unable to complete your assignment before the due date you

should complete a Request for Extension of Assignment Due Date form, available from the Student Portal

under Documents/Forms and submit it to your unit coordinator. This must be done at least 48 hours before

the assignment due date.

Penalties for late submissions

Assignments received late and without prior approval will be penalised. A penalty of 5% of the total available

marks will be deducted for every day the assignment is late. Assignments submitted more than 5 working

days after the due date will be awarded a mark of zero.

Learning Support

Students have access to group-oriented and individual learning support at Deakin College. During each

trimester, students can attend a series of study skills workshops conducted both at Deakin College and Deakin

University on topics such as time management, avoiding plagiarism, referencing, academic writing, critical

thinking and exam preparation.

Students can book individual consultations with the Deakin College Academic Skills Advisor. They can also

access the Deakin University Language and Learning Drop-in Centre. All students have access to the Academic

Skills Moodle site which contains a number of resources to improve students’ study skills and language

proficiency.

Grading system

All students enrolled in any unit will be graded according to Deakin College’s standard grading system as

follows:

GRADE DESCRIPTION PERCENTAGE

HD High Distinction 80 - 100

K:\Academic Services\Unit Outlines\2020-T2\Diploma of Information of Technology\SIT151 V44-7/20 Page 10

Changes to Enrolment

Enrolment changes can be made through the student portal until 5.00 pm Friday of the second week of the

trimester.

 Withdrawal from any unit or course before the end of week 4 of a trimester will not incur an academic

penalty. Fees paid for the unit(s) will be credited to the following trimester. Fees will be forfeited for

any withdrawal after week 4;

 Withdrawal from any unit or course between weeks 5 and 8 of a trimester will incur a grade of W

(Withdrawn). This grade does not incur an academic penalty;

 Withdrawal from any unit or course between weeks 9 and 12 of a trimester will incur a grade of WN

(Withdrawn Fail). This grade will incur an academic penalty and a student’s course progress will be

assessed at the end of the trimester by the Board of Examiners;

 Overseas students are required to maintain a full time enrolment. Therefore, if a withdrawal from one

or more units constitutes a part time enrolment, withdrawal from such units will not be permissible.

Class Attendance

Deakin College takes attendance seriously. Attendance is an important element of a student’s success in their

studies and it is strongly recommended that attendance is maintained in all classes. All work covered in class

is examinable.

Attendance will be recorded in all sessions and students should make themselves aware of the Attendance

Policy (available from the Deakin College website).

Where alternative classes exist for a unit, students are permitted to attend a maximum of two alternative

classes per unit during the trimester. Students should collect a Lecturer Attendance Variation Form available

from the Student Portal under Documents/Forms or from reception and submit this to the lecturer of the

alternate class to sign and verify their attendance. The signed and verified form must be submitted to

Reception by the student within 7 days after the initial scheduled class.

Medical certificates are not required to be submitted to Deakin College to explain occasional absences from

class or short-term illness. However, where ‘compassionate and compelling’ circumstances exist, for

example, serious illness or injury, trauma, or bereavement of close family members, an Explained Absence

Form can be submitted to Deakin College Reception with your evidence within 7 days of the absence so that

attendance records can be adjusted to show that compelling or compassionate circumstances occurred. This

does not change an ‘absence’ to an ‘attendance’ – it merely indicates that compelling or compassionate

circumstances occurred which explain a student’s absence. Please refer to the Attendance Policy for more

information.

Student Evaluation of this Unit

At the end of trimester students will be asked to evaluate all of the units they have studied during the

trimester. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the Student Evaluation form for this unit and give

feedback.

All ratings and comments are read and given careful consideration following completion of each trimester

and inform the changes which may be introduced in subsequent trimesters.
