Tutorial attendance and the Reflective Learning Portfolios 1 and 2
Attendance in tutorials is essential for success in COMM1170. It's strongly recommended to select a tutorial time that fits your schedule without conflicts with other commitments like study or work. Tutorial attendance is directly linked to the completion of major assessments in this course - Reflective Learning Portfolios 1 and 2.
The process:
1. Attend and Participate: Attend ONLY your allocated tutorial and actively participate in the learning activities.
2. Register Attendance: Ensure your attendance is recorded by your tutor.
3. Draft Artefacts: During the tutorial, you will have time to draft the Artefact(s) (key activities completed under tutor supervision).
4. Submit Drafts: You will be given time to submit the draft Artefact(s) to the Turnitin Dropbox on Moodle for your allocated tutorial.
5. Submission Requirement: You are NOT permitted to submit an Artefact unless you have attended the corresponding tutorial.
6. IMPORTANT: Only Artefacts submitted to the Turnitin Dropbox for the tutorial you attended can be used in your Reflective Learning Portfolios 1 and 2.
Turnitin
Turnitin is an originality checking and plagiarism prevention tool that enables checking of submitted written work for improper citation or misappropriated content. Each Turnitin assignment is checked against other students' work, the Internet and key resources selected by your Course Coordinator.
If you are instructed to submit your assessment via Turnitin, you will find the link to the Turnitin submission in your Moodle course site. You can submit your assessment well before the deadline and use the Similarity Report to improve your academic writing skills before submitting your final version.
You can find out more information in the Turnitin information site for students.
Late Submissions
The parameters for late submissions are outlined in the UNSW Assessment Implementation Procedure. For COMM1170, if you submit your assessments after the due date, you will incur penalties for late submission unless you have Special Consideration (see below). Late submission is 5% per day (including weekends), calculated from the marks allocated to that assessment (not your grade). Assessments more than 5 days late will not be accepted for marking.
Extensions
You are expected to manage your time to meet assessment due dates. If you do require an extension to your assessment, please make a request as early as possible before the due date via the special consideration portal on myUNSW (My Student profile > Special Consideration). You can find more information on Special Consideration and the application process below. Lecturers and tutors do not have the ability to grant extensions.
Special Consideration
Special consideration is the process for assessing the impact of short-term events beyond your control (exceptional circumstances), on your performance in a specific assessment task.
What are circumstances beyond my control?
These are exceptional circumstances or situations that may:
• Prevent you from completing a course requirement,
• Keep you from attending an assessment,
• Stop you from submitting an assessment,
• Significantly affect your assessment performance.
Available here is a list of circumstances that may be beyond your control. This is only a list of examples, and your exact circumstances may not be listed.
You can find more detail and the application form. on the Special Consideration site.
Assessment Review of Results
Please read the specific feedback on your assessments in detail, alongside the general feedback provided by the Course Coordinator. Feedback is optimised if you revisit the assessment question, your completed work, the general feedback about the assessment provided on Moodle and the marking rubric. It is prudent to reflect on this information for a period (e.g., a day) as insightful analysis takes time to consolidate.
If you still have concerns about your grade, please use the specific criteria in the marking rubric, the assignment instructions, and the marker’s comments to complete the form. on the last page of this guide.
Please send the completed form. to [email protected] within 4 business days after the assessment has been returned. Please note that in a review of results, your mark may go up, remain the same or decrease.
General Instructions for Reflective Learning Portfolios (RLP) 1 and 2
Purpose
Research shows the habit of reflection can separate extraordinary professionals from mediocre ones.
(Bailey and Rehmen, 2022)
The Reflective Learning Portfolios (RLP) are designed to enhance your engagement, learning, and capacity for self-leadership through reflection. These assessments are not just collections of ‘evidence’ but opportunities to develop critical skills that will help you succeed in this course and in your future career. They will also aid in preparing you for your final assessment.
Overview
Both Reflective Learning Portfolios (RLP) 1 and 2 help you reflect on and consolidate your learning experiences throughout the course. These assessments enable you to critically analyse your participation and engagement in tutorials and document your learning journey.
Process
Each week you should:
• Complete Asynchronous Work and Attend Lectures: Engage with pre-lecture materials and attend lectures, taking detailed notes.
• Participate in Tutorials: Attend your tutorial and begin working on your draft Artefacts.
• Submit Draft Artefacts: Submit your draft Artefact in the weekly Turnitin Dropbox on Moodle at the end of each tutorial. Don’t worry about 100% completion or making it ‘perfect’, as it is for tracking progress and reflection, NOT for final grading.
• Revise and Refine: Continue updating and refining your Artefacts after tutorials to deepen your understanding. Your revised and refined Artefact will be marked in the final assessment.
o Tip: Be sure to note any new learnings or “aha!” moments – they’ll be useful in your reflection.
• Collate and Annotate:
o Collate your Artefacts into your Reflective Learning Portfolio. You might include photos, screenshots, text, or other relevant evidence from any part of the week’s learning activities. Highlight any specific areas of progress.
o Add 3 (min) – 5 (max) annotations (75 - 100 words each) per Artefact. Note: Annotations are personal commentary that should highlight key concepts, make connections, pose questions, or express thoughts, serving as a record of your understanding, insights, and reactions to the learning content.
• Reflective Commentary: Reflect on the Artefacts you have presented, focusing on what you knew before and what you know now. An in-depth guide on different ways to reflecting comprehensively on these areas is available in the Assessment Hub on Moodle.
Remember: The quality of your artefacts will affect your grade for this assessment, so it is strongly recommended that you stay up to date with the asynchronous and lecture materials to ensure your success.
Be sure to utilize the full marking rubric at the end of this document and the supporting resources available on Moodle to enhance your learning experience and achieve the best possible results in your Reflective Learning Portfolio.

Assessment 1: Reflective Learning Portfolio (RLP) 1
Description of assessment task
You will develop a learning portfolio containing:
o Select and refine TWO Artefacts based on drafts submitted during Weeks 1 - 3 tutorials. Refer to the rubric for guidance.

o Make any relevant annotations on your artefact. 3 (Min) - 5 (Max) annotations (75-100 words each) per Artefact.
