Taylors Graduate Capabilities Portfolio
The Taylors Graduate Capabilities (TGC) Portfolio is a document that collates all assessments
produced in a module and reflects a students acquisition of the Module Learning Outcomes and
Taylors Graduate Capabilities.
For students enrolled in the 2011 Programme Structure
The TGC portfolio is an edited A3-size bound document that includes all the assessments
produced in the module. Visual diary and process of work (packaged) are to be included as
part of the portfolio submission. Students must reflect on their learning through the TGC
Portfolio Form.
For students enrolled in the 2012 Programme Structure onwards
Each student is to develop an ePortfolio, a web-based portfolio in the form of a personal
academic blog. The ePortfolio is developed progressively for all modules taken throughout
Semesters 1 to 5, and culminates with a final Portfolio in printed form produced in the final
semester. The printed Portfolio must encapsulate the acquisition of Programme Learning
Outcomes and Taylors Graduate Capabilities, and showcases the distinctiveness and
identity of the student as a graduate of the programme.
Late Submission Penalty
The School imposes a late submission penalty for work submitted late without a valid reason e.g. a
medical certificate. Any work submitted after the deadline (which may have been extended) shall have
the percentage grade assigned to the work on face value reduced by 10% for the first day and 5% for each
subsequent day late. A weekend counts as one (1) day.
Individual members of staff shall be permitted to grant extensions for assessed work that they have set
if they are satisfied that a student has given good reasons. Absenteeism at intermediate or final presentation will result in zero mark for that presentation. The Board of Examiners may overrule any penalty
imposed and allow the actual mark achieved to be used
if the late submission was for a good reason.
Attendance, Participation and Submission of Assessment Components
Attendance is compulsory. Any student who arrives late after the first half-hour of class will be considered
as absent. The lectures and tutorials will assist you in expanding your ideas and your assessments. A
minimum of 80% attendance is required to pass the module and/or be eligible for the final examination
and/or presentation.
Students will be assessed based on their performance throughout the semester. Students are expected
to attend and participate actively in class. Class participation is an important component of every module.
Students must attempt all assessment components. Failure to attempt assessment components worth
20% or more, the student would be required to resubmit or resit an assessment component, even though
the student has achieved more than 50% in the overall assessment. Failure to attempt all assessment
components, including final exam and final presentation, will result in failing the module irrespective of
the marks earned, even though the student has achieved more than 50% in the overall assessment.

Plagiarism (Excerpt from Taylors University Student Handbook 2013, page 59)
Plagiarism, which is an attempt to present another persons work as your own by not acknowledging the
source, is a serious case of misconduct which is deemed unacceptable by the University.
Work includes written materials such as books, journals and magazine articles or other papers and also
includes films and computer programs. The two most common types of plagiarism are from published
materials and other students works.
01
Published Materials
In general, whenever anything from someone elses work is used, whether it is an idea, an opinion
or the results of a study or review, a standard system of referencing should be used. Examples of
plagiarism may include a sentence or two, or a table or a diagram from a book or an article used
without acknowledgement.
Serious cases of plagiarism can be seen in cases where the entire paper presented by the student
is copied from another book, with an addition of only a sentence or two by the student.
While the former can be treated as a simple failure to cite references, the latter is likely to be
viewed as cheating in an examination.
Though most assignments require the need for reference to other peoples works, in order to avoid
plagiarism, students should keep a detailed record of the sources of ideas and findings and e
sure that these sources are clearly quoted in their assignment. Note that plagiarism also refers to
materials obtained from the Internet too.
02
Other Students Work
Circulating relevant articles and discussing ideas before writing an assignment is a common
practice.
However, with the exception of group assignments, students should write their own papers. Plagi
rising the work of other students into assignments includes using identical or very similar
sentences, paragraphs or sections. When two students submit papers that are very similar in tone
and content, both are likely to be penalised.
Student Participation
Your participation in the module is encouraged. You have the opportunity to participate in the following
ways:
01
Your ideas and questions are welcomed, valued and encouraged.
02
Your input is sought to understand your perspectives, ideas and needs in planning subject
revision.
03
You have opportunities to give feedback and issues will be addressed in response to that
feedback.
04
Do reflect on your performance in Portfolios.
05
Student evaluation on your views and experiences about the module are actively sought and used
as an integral part of improvement in teaching and continuous improvement.
