Late Submission(s): “Late assessment must also be submitted through Turnitin. No extensions will be granted. There will be a deduction of 10% of the total available marks made from the total awarded mark for each 24 hour period or part thereof that the submission is late (for example, 25 hours late in submission incurs a 20% penalty). Late submissions will not be accepted after solutions have been discussed and/or made available.   This penalty does not apply for cases in which an application for Special Consideration is made and approved. Note: applications for Special Consideration Policy must be made within 5 (five) business days of the due date and time.”

Face to face hours

This unit will be taught in the form of weekly 3 hour seminars. This is a combination of lectures and tutorial. Students are required to enrol in one seminar (3 hours of face to face teaching) for this unit. Class attendance for this unit is compulsory. Students are required to attend a minimum of 10 out 13 seminars. The timetable is available at http://timetables.mq.edu.au. The teaching strategies are outlined below:

Seminar:

• Students are required to enrol in seminars online. Seminar enrolment will be closed after the first week of semester. There is no change after this deadline. It is important that you attend the seminar that you are enrolled in. If you attend the seminar that you are not enrolled in, it will not be counted toward the attendance record, with an exception of seminars held on the week of public holidays.
• Any changes to seminars must be made through e-student. You have to finalise your classes by the end of week 2 after which changes are no longer possible.
• Classes scheduled for public holidays will not be held. Students with classes on public holiday should arrange to sit in on another class of your choice for that week only. However, it is not compulsory to attend.
• Your attendance may not be marked if you arrive more than 15 minutes late to your seminars, unless there is an appropriate reason provided to your lecturer.

Site Visit:

Being a unit that tries to keep you engaged you will denote that in one of the weeks we will have a site visit to St George Hospital, Kogarah. This is a compulsory site visit and attendance will be taken. This site visit will happen in the week denoted at the time the class usually runs.
