Late Submission and Special Consideration

• Late submissions without an extension will receive a penalty of 3% of the total mark available for the assessment task per day including weekend days (i.e. this is 3% of the total marks possible for the task – NOT 3% of the marks the student received. For example, if the assessment task is worth 100 marks and the student is two days late their mark for the task is reduced by 6 marks.)
• Late submission of an assessment task without an extension will not be accepted at all after the date on which marked assessment tasks have been released to the rest of the class. Any student with unsubmitted work at this date will receive a mark of 0 for the assessment task.
• Extensions will only be given in special circumstances, and can be requested by completing the Special Consideration request at ask.mq.edu.au and providing the requisite supporting documentation.
• Extensions that will result in submissions after the assessment task has been returned to the class will require a separate assessment task to be completed at the unit convenor's discretion.
• For more information on Special Consideration, see the university website https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special-consideration\
• If a student fails the unit due to non-submission of an assignment or non-attendance at an exam, an FA grade will be applied in accordance with the University's Assessment Policy.
• Unit convenors have the discretion to determine whether or not students should fail a unit on the basis of lateness penalties alone if other learning outcomes of the unit have been met.

Classes

LING3382 is taught by 1 x 1 hour lecture and 1 x 1 hour tutorial each week.

Tutorials begin in week 2.

The lecture and tutorial take place on the same day (Thursday), and from week 2, the material covered in the tutorial will be an extension of the material covered in the lecture from earlier in the day. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to attend the lecture (or view via live streaming) prior to the tutorial.

Reading

Weekly readings will be made available on Leganto, an interactive interface with the library catalogue. These will be updated on a regular basis and you can suggest further readings and comment on exisiting ones.

The recommended texts are:

• Duranti, A. (1997). Linguistic Anthropology. Cambridge: CUP. (only 3 copies in the library - you should buy this as it is a very useful reference book for this unit)
• Copland, F., & Creese, A. (2015). Linguistic ethnography: Collecting, analysing and presenting data. London: Sage. (available as an e-book through the library)
• Holmes, J. & Wilson, N. (2017) An Introduction to Sociolinguistics. 5th Edition. Abingdon: Routledge.
