EXAMINATIONS

There is no formal examination for this unit.

EXTENSIONS AND PENALTIES

• Extensions can only be granted in exceptional cases and may only be sought in consultation with the unit convenor and with support of documentary evidence. If you anticipate any difficulty in meeting assigned due dates then it is important that you contact the unit convenor and/or tutor as early as possible via the dialogue tool.
• Please avoid asking for extensions as missing deadlines complicates the work of markers and puts you behind. If you have to ask for an extension, request it BEFORE the deadline and not on the due date. Excuses such as ‘Getting behind with your work’ or 'I had other deadlines' do not count.

IMPORTANT PENALTIES TO BE APPLIED:

• Written assessment tasks submitted after the due date or the date after which an extension has been given and without submission of a Disruption to Studies request will not be accepted. A zero grade will be applied. 
• Written assessment tasks submitted that are under or over the word length by more than 15% will be penalised with a 10% deduction. The marker will only read to the listed word limit, i.e. if the word limit is 1000 words they will stop reading at 1000 words (plus or minus up to 150 words).
• Written assessment tasks submitted without proper referencing, i.e. few or no page numbers or no bibliography, will be marked according to the Macquarie University Plagiarism Policy and the schedule of penalties, including one of the following: reduced mark for the assessment task; required resubmission with reduced maximum mark; issuance of a caution or an automatic fail.

EXTENSION REQUEST PROCEDURE

The granting of extensions is subject to the University's Disruptions Policy: http://mq.edu.au/policy/docs/disruption_studies/policy.html.

2. Select your unit code from the drop down list and fill in your relevant details. Note: A notification needs to be submitted for each unit you believe is affected by the disruption.

3. Click "Submit form".
