Marking criteria and standards

Guidelines on the criteria and standards required for assessment tasks, as well as rubrics where appropriate, will be placed on the iLearn site. Marks given for individual items of assessment are indicative only; final marks will be determined after moderation.

Assignment Submission

ALL written assignments must be submitted via Turnitin within iLearn.

Extensions

ALL deadlines are firm unless an extension has been requested in writing one (1) week before the due date. All requests for extensions must be submitted  via ask.mq.edu.au and be supported by appropriate documentation. A penalty for lateness (see below) will apply unless a medical certificate or other written substantiation is supplied. Assignments handed in early will not be marked and returned before the due date. Always retain a copy of work you submit in case it is lost in the online system.

Late Submission Penalty

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, (a) a penalty for lateness will apply – two (2) marks out of 100* will be deducted per day for assignments submitted after the due date – and (b) no assignment will be accepted more than seven (7) days (incl. weekends) after the original submission deadline. No late submissions will be accepted for timed assessments – e.g. quizzes, online tests.

*"100" is to be understood as 100% of the marks for that task, not the entire unit.

Satisfactory Completion of Unit

In order to complete this unit satisfactorily students must gain a mark of 50% or more, and attempt all assessment tasks.

Readings 

Weekly readings will be available via the Macquarie University Library website, or on the iLearn site. There is considerable material available on the internet on the subject, notably The Coptic Encyclopedia, now online in its entirety at http://ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/cce

All readings set from the Coptic Encyclopedia can be accessed there by searching for them by title.

Technology Used and Required

This unit uses the iLearn, echo360, and Leganto and Multisearch systems to deliver lecture content and readings. 

Since the last time this unit was offered, some of the lecture content and the order of lectures has been revised.

SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF UNIT

To compete the unit satisfactorily, students must listen to the lectures and reflect on them, do the set weekly reading(s), and participate in the online discussion in a manner which demonstrates they have done these things. They must submit all items of assessment, and hand in work which is formatted in accordance with Department of Ancient History guidelines (available here), spell-checked, written in good English, and which demonstrates an understanding of the material in the lectures and readings, and independent reflection on the subject of the assessment. Assessments must demonstrate the generic skills below, which will be assessed according to the listed criteria and levels of achievements.
