POLS 1301 has several objectives:
• To develop a basic knowledge of the main categories of political thought
•
To develop an appreciation of how political ideas are used in contemporary
political debate

To develop both verbal and written skills in critical analysis; a particular focus of
POLS1301 will be the identification and evaluation of political arguments.
In accordance with the University of Queensland’s policy on Graduate Attributes, POLS1301
is designed to help you develop a number of attributes. These include
• a comprehensive and well-founded knowledge of political ideas.
• The ability to collect, analyse and organise information and ideas and to convey
those ideas clearly and fluently, in both written and spoken forms.
• The ability to evaluate opinions, make decisions and to reflect critically upon
political arguments and analyses.

Wednesday 1 June.
Note: Marking criteria for all assessment items will be distributed at lectures and
posted on the School web site (http://www.polsis.uq.edu.au) under Student
Resources & POLS1301. Students should consult these marking criteria before
submitting assessment items.
ASSESSMENT DETAILS - TUTORIAL ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION
The tutorial program aims to develop a comprehensive and well-founded understanding of
political ideas. It also aims to develop verbal skills in the identification and evaluation of
political arguments.
Each week, to prepare for tutorials, you should:
•
review relevant lecture notes
•
read the assigned reading. All items assigned for tutorial reading are listed below
(see Tutorial Program). Students are expected to complete the assigned reading for
tutorials each week.
Marks for tutorial attendance will accrue at the rate of 1 mark per tutorial (max 10/10). As
there are 11 scheduled tutorials you may miss one tutorial without incurring any penalty.
Marks for tutorial participation will be allocated at the end of semester according to the
overall contribution you have made to tutorial discussion across the semester. By
'contribution' I mean thoughtful comments that are relevant to the discussion and which
demonstrate both a knowledge and understanding of the assigned reading. If you have
completed all the assigned reading, it is important to attempt to participate in the tutorial
discussion (your tutor will facilitate this) and you will be rewarded for sensible attempts even
if this is done imperfectly (eg nervously) and even if you are not 100% accurate. Students
who have not completed the assigned reading should not participate in the discussion
(ignorance of the assigned reading will usually be obvious to your tutor & will lead to a loss
of marks for tutorial participation over the semester).
If you are unable to attend tutorials regularly or, for any reason, are unable (or do not want) to
participate in tutorial discussion, you should speak to your tutor who will set additional
POLS1301 Modern Political Ideologies
Semester One - 2005
Course Guide
Page 4
written work to be completed in place of attendance and/or participation. All additional
written work will need to be completed at or before the last tutorial (Week 12).
ASSESSMENT DETAILS - ESSAY DRAFT
In order to develop skills in written analysis – particularly in the identification and
evaluation of political ideas – you are being asked to write an essay of 2000 words. There
are two Essay Topics:
Either:
1.’ The world and/or Australia needs more liberalism’ Do you agree or disagree?
Or
2.’ The world and/or Australia needs more conservatism’ Do you agree or disagree?
Before you prepare the final version of your essay we want you to think carefully about
your argument and get some specific feedback from your tutor. Consequently, we are
asking you to prepare an Essay Draft of 1000 words; this will be worth 10% of your total
assessment for POLS1301.
The Essay Draft should be presented for assessment in three parts:
Part A (200 words max; 2 and ½ marks possible). - Statement of your overall argument.
Make clear which question you are answering AND your exact response to the quotation
(ie say whether you agree or disagree). Note that several sorts of responses are possible.
For example, your overall argument for the first question could be ‘The world/Australia
needs more liberalism’ or ‘The world/Australia does not need more liberalism’ or ‘The
world/Australia does not need more liberalism but more socialism’ (anarchism,
environmentalism, etc).
Part B (300 words max; 2 and ½ marks possible) – Short description of either Liberalism
or Conservatism. In the draft (but not in the essay) this section may be presented in point
form.
Part C (500 words; 5 marks possible) – At least three reasons why you think your
argument is correct. Make sure you fully explain these reasons (so another person can
understand them) and offer some ‘evidence’ to support your claims. There are two sorts of
‘evidence’ that will be particularly useful for POLS1301:
•
Other authors who confirm your opinion (see especially your textbook, the Course
Reader, and authors in the Recommended Readings at the end of this Course
Outline).
•
Examples drawn from current or past events in the world/Australia. Indicate how
these events help substantiate your claims (eg that the world/Australia needs more
liberalism or conservatism).
Your completed Essay Draft should be handed to your tutor at your tutorial in week 6 (ie
in the week beginning Monday 11 April). Please make sure your draft has a cover sheet
detailing your name, student number and tutorial time.

ASSESMENT DETAILS - ESSAY
Essay Topics can be found above - in the ‘Essay Draft’ section. Essays are to be of 2000
words and should both present and defend an argument (ie a response to the question, Do
you agree or disagree?). Further advice on essay preparation will be given in lectures and
tutorials. A complete version of the Marking Criteria for the Essay will be distributed in
Week 3 lectures and will be posted on the School web site, however, please note the
following:
•
In your Essays you should use as much of the assigned reading material for POLS
1301 as possible – eg textbook, tutorial readings, ‘Recommended Readings’ (at the
back of this Course Outline) and/or other printed sources obtained from the library.
You may also use a few internet sources. The minimum requirement for the essay is
SIX different readings/sources; these should be visibly utilised in the body of the
essay and cited in the Reference List at the end of your essay. Only two internet
sources will be counted towards this minimum requirement of six readings/sources.
•
All sources/reading utilised in the essay must be properly referenced (See the
Schools Essay Guide). The guide can be obtained from the School’s Enquires
Office (Level 5, General Purpose North III/Building 39A) or downloaded from the
“Handbooks” section of the school’s website (http:www.polsis.uq.edu.au/)
The penalties for plagiarism are serious – see below.
• Completed Essays should be placed in the Assignment box at the Inquiries Office,
School of Political Science and International Studies (General Purpose North
Building 39A Level 5) by 12 noon on Friday 29 April.
• Students seeking an extension of this deadline must contact the course co-ordinator,
Dr Sullivan, beforehand. Extensions will not normally be granted without
documentary evidence (eg a medical certificate or a letter from a counsellor) of
illness or misadventure.
• Students who submit late papers – without an official extension – will be penalised
by the deduction of three marks (out of a total of 35 marks) for each overdue day.
ASSESSMENT DETAILS - EXAM OR ADDITIONAL ESSAY
There will be an examination at the lecture in Week 13 – ie 12-2pm on Wednesday 1 June. The
exam will test your knowledge of the material presented in lectures and tutorials. If you have
attended all your lectures and tutorials and completed all the required reading for tutorials you
will not need to do any additional research or reading in order to pass the examination.
The exam will be conducted ‘open book’ which means that you may bring books, lecture
notes, papers (whatever you require) into the exam room.
Students who do not wish to sit the exam – or who are likely to be absent on Wednesday 2nd
June – may complete an additional essay in place of the exam. Essay topics will be distributed
by week 6. All essays must be submitted by 2pm on Wednesday 1st June. No extensions will be
available without documentary evidence of illness or misadventure.

CALCULATION OF GRADES
Marks will totalled from all of the above assessment items. Each 1% will count for 1 mark.
Grades will then be allocated according to the following % distributions:
Grade of 7 – 85% or greater
Grade of 6 – 75-84.5%
Grade of 5 – 65-74.5%
Grade of 4 – 50-64.5%
Grade of 3 – 47-49.5%
Grade of 2 – 20-46.5%
Grade of 1 – 1-19.5%
RE-MARKING
Students who think their work has not been fairly assessed should, in the first instance,
consult with the Course Coordinator, Dr Sullivan (not tutors). A re-mark may be
recommended.
Further details of the School and University’s remarking policy are available at:
http://www.polsis.uq.edu.au/materials/UQ_Request_for_Remark.doc. To request a remark for a piece of assessment, you should complete the University’s “Request for
Assessment Re-Marking” form.
You should be aware that if the re-mark is granted and the second mark is lower than the
first, the lower mark may prevail.
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is cheating and a major violation of the University’s academic values. The
Vice-Chancellor requires academic staff to report any student who has plagiarised the work
of another person. Students who cheat are liable to disciplinary proceedings.
The Vice-Chancellor’s definition of plagiarism is “the action or practice of taking and
using as one’s own the thoughts or writings of another (without acknowledgement)”. The
following constitute acts of plagiarism:
• sentences, a single sentence or significant parts of a sentence are copied directly
but are not enclosed in quotation marks and appropriately cited.
• ‘block quotes’ are not cited correctly
POLS1301 Modern Political Ideologies
Semester One - 2005
Course Guide
Page 7
•
•
The words of others are paraphrased or summarised and the source of the
material is not acknowledged either by citation or other simple reference within
the text of the essay.
An idea that appears in printed material or film is used or developed with
reference being made to the author or the source of that idea.
Students should note that the definition of ‘printed material’ includes downloading text
from the internet (without acknowledgement).
Students should also note that even plagiarism that is unintended and arises because of
faulty note taking and/or faulty essay writing technique can result in serious consequences.
For this reason, students should be meticulous in keeping a proper record of all reference
details when taking notes from other people’s work.
In the marking of your essays we will be using software designed to detect plagiarism.
The School takes the issue of plagiarism very seriously, and all incidents of suspected
plagiarism will be referred to the Head of School. The penalty for students caught
cheating is a mark of zero (0) for the piece of assessment, which will therefore often lead
to a failing grade for the course.
