Assessment criteria for all assessment tasks will be provided on the unit iLearn site.

It is the responsibility of students to view their marks for each within-session-assessment on iLearn within 20 days of posting. If there are any discrepancies, students must contact the unit convenor immediately. Failure to do so will mean that queries received after the release of final results regarding assessment tasks (not including the final exam mark) will not be addressed.

Late submissions and extensions

Tasks 10% or less – No extensions will be granted. Students who have not submitted the task prior to the deadline will be awarded a mark of 0 for the task, except for cases in which an application for special consideration is made and approved.

Tasks above 10% - 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 – 20% penalty). This penalty does not apply for cases in which an application for special consideration is made and approved. No submission will be accepted after solutions have been posted.

Special consideration

For the Mid Session Test, where special consideration is applied for and approved, students will be given a verbal examination by two members of staff.

Brief answers to the tutorial questions will be posted on iLearn after each week.

To achieve the best possible results students should:

1) View all lectures and tutorial classes.

2) Tutorial questions and problems are assigned from the required text book;

3) Read the assigned chapters of the required text book before attending lectures;

4) Download lecture notes from iLearn, which are available weekly before lectures. Ensure these notes are brought to lectures.
