SCIE1000 Theory and Practice in Science
Semester 1, 2022
Online, non-invigilated assignment, under ‘take home exam’ conditions.
File upload to Blackboard Assignment
Your assignment will begin at the time specified by your course coordinator. You have a
fixed 12-hour window from this time in which it must be completed. You can access and
submit your paper at any time within the 12 hours. Even though you have the entire 12
hours to complete and submit this assessment, the expectation is that it will take students
around 2 hours to complete.
Note that you must leave sufficient time to submit and upload your answers.
This assignment is closed book – only specified materials are permitted, listed below under
Recommended materials.
Ensure the following materials are available during the mid semester:
• The SCIE1000 lecture book, workshop activities & solutions, and your personal
notes from the course are permitted (paper or electronic).
• UQ approved calculator; bilingual dictionary; phone/camera/scanner
You will need to download the question paper included within the Blackboard Test. Once
you have completed the assignment, upload a single pdf file with your answers to the
Blackboard assignment submission link. You may submit multiple times, but only the last
uploaded file will be graded.
You can print the question paper and write on that paper or write your answers on blank
paper (clearly label your solutions so that it is clear which problem it is a solution to) or
annotate an electronic file on a suitable device.Who to contact

Further important
information
Given the nature of this assessment, responding to student queries and/or relaying
corrections during the allowed time may not be feasible.
If you have any concerns or queries about a particular question or need to make any
assumptions to answer the question, state these at the start of your solution to that quest
You may also include queries you may have made with respect to a particular question,
should you have been able to ‘raise your hand’ in an examination-type setting.
If you experience any interruptions during the allowed time, please collect evidence of the
interruption (e.g. photographs, screenshots or emails).
If you experience any technical difficulties during the assessment, contact course staff on
scie1000staff@uq.edu.au. Note that this is for technical difficulties only.
In the event of a late submission, you will be required to submit evidence that you
completed the assessment in the time allowed. This will also apply if there is an error in
your submission (e.g. corrupt file, missing pages, poor quality scan). We strongly
recommend you use a phone camera to take time-stamped photos (or a video) of every
page of your paper during the time allowed (even if you submit on time).
If you submit your paper after the due time, then you should send details to SMP Exams
(exams.smp@uq.edu.au) as soon as possible after the end of the time allowed. Include an
explanation of why you submitted late (with any evidence of technical issues) AND time-
stamped images of every page of your paper (eg screen shot from your phone showing
both the image and the time at which it was taken).
Academic integrity is a core value of the UQ community and as such the highest standards
of academic integrity apply to assessment, whether undertaken in-person or online.
This means:
• You are permitted to refer to the allowed resources for this assignment, and you
must not use any instances of work that has been submitted previously elsewhere.
• You are not permitted to consult any other person – whether directly, online, or
through any other means – about any aspect of this assignment during the period
that it is available.
• If it is found that you have given or sought outside assistance with this assignment,
then that will be deemed to be cheating.
If you submit your answers after the end of allowed time, the following penalties will be
applied to the total mark available for the assessment:
• Less than 5 minutes – 5% penalty
