        How assessment works at Charles Sturt University

        Which Charles Sturt document sets the weights shown here?

        The subject outline for the session each guide names. Charles Sturt's Subject Outlines Policy requires the outline to identify any hurdle task and the mark needed to pass the subject, so the outline is the document our tables are checked against.

        What is a hurdle assessment at Charles Sturt?

        An assessment you must pass, or reach a specified result in, to pass the subject. The outline must say which task is the hurdle and the mark required, and hurdles are typically used for safety procedures or essential practical skills. Guides mark those items.

        When is the exam period at Charles Sturt?

        Charles Sturt sessions are 16 weeks long and include a two week mid session break and an end of session exam period; there is no separately named study week. Guides that cover an exam say which items sit in the end of session period.

        How is a GPA calculated at Charles Sturt?

        GPA equals the sum of each subject's point value times the numeric value of its grade, divided by the sum of the point values, to two decimal places with a maximum of 7. All attempts at a subject, including fails, count. A High Distinction is 85 to 100 in a subject.

        Is AskSia part of Charles Sturt University?

        No. AskSia is independent of Charles Sturt University. Guides are written by AskSia from each subject's published materials, and every figure carries the session it was taken from.

        Past exam papers at Charles Sturt

        Charles Sturt subject outlines can include a sample exam paper as one of their exam items, and that outline, rather than a central library collection, is where students find what the University releases for a subject. AskSia guides do not host papers. They give the exam format from the subject outline by question type, beside the assessment items, with a worked example marked step by step.
