Grade descriptors and other information concerning grading are contained in Schedule 1 of the Macquarie University Assessment Policy, which is available at: https://staff.mq.edu.au/work/strategy-planning-and-governance/university-policies-and-procedures/policies/assessment.

Further details for each assessment task will be available on iLearn.

All final grades in the Bachelor of Clinical Science are determined by a grading committee and are not the sole responsibility of the Unit Convenor.

Students will be awarded a final grade plus a Standardised Numerical Grade (SNG). The SNG is not necessarily a summation of the individual assessment components. The final grade and SNG that are awarded reflect the corresponding grade descriptor in the Grading Policy.

To pass this unit, students must demonstrate sufficient evidence of achievement of the learning outcomes, attempt all assessment tasks, meet any ungraded requirements including professionalism and achieve an SNG of 50 or better.

Late Submission

All assignments which are officially received after the due date, and where no extension has been granted, will incur a deduction of 5% for the first day, and 5% for each subsequent day including the actual day on which the work is received. Weekends and public holidays are included. No submissions accepted after 10 days. For example:

Class materials and readings are available on iLearn and through Leganto. There is no textbook.

In addition to the weekly tutorials, there are three live streamed lectures and one face-to-face workshop in the unit and these are reserved for special guests or activities. Please make a note of these and attend them.

Two weeks of tutorials are online and delivered asynchronously (i.e. you can complete the activities anytime during the week). These weeks are Week 6 and Week 12. To be marked as attending for those weeks, you need to complete all the online activities of that week.
