All results in this subject are reviewed by the Academic Progress Committee at the end of the semester. Supplementary assessment will not be given to students in this unit. Students are reminded to read the faculty course rules that govern assessment in all Faculty of Science and Technology subjects. The software used in the all laboratories is owned and registered by Deakin University and steps have been taken to eliminate accidental copying of this software. It is therefore reasonable to assume that students who have a copy of our software on their disks did not accidentally copy it and were in the act of deliberate piracy.
Most software companies limit by licence, the installation of software to one machine only.
Students who are caught using software that is not part of the laboratory system will have their disks confiscated without warning, and will be asked to leave the laboratory. These students will be reported to the Head of School and may be subject to discipline procedures. The School of Computing and Mathematics is particularly vigilant about protecting the computer laboratories against attack from computer viruses. Facilities are provided in each laboratory that enable users to check their floppy disks for computer viruses. If you have a home computer and require virus protection then you should see the loacl ITS representative to learn how to obtain a copy of the virus protection software.
