In Session 3 2014, the final exam is a 2 hour, online open-book exam, held on Thursday 29 January 2015, 4pm to 6pm.

You will need access to a computer equipped with a reliable internet connection.

You are expected to complete the online examination at the day and time stated above.

A final examination is included as an assessment task for this unit to provide assurance that:

i) the product belongs to the student and

ii) the student has attained the knowledge and skills tested in the exam.

You can do the exam in your home city or town. You don't need to be living in Sydney to do the final exam.

The only exception to not sitting an examination at the designated time is because of documented illness or unavoidable disruption. In these circumstances you may wish to consider applying for Special Consideration.

The University’s policy on special consideration process is available at: Disruption to Studies Policy http://www.mq.edu.au/policy/docs/disruption_studies/

If a Supplementary Examination is granted as a result of the Special Consideration process the examination will be scheduled after the conclusion of the official examination period.
