LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENT:

 From 1 July 2022, Students enrolled in Session based units with written assessments will have the following university standard late penalty applied. Please see https://students.mq.edu.au/study/assessment-exams/assessments for more information. Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, a 5% penalty (of the total possible mark) will be applied each day a written assessment is not submitted, up until the 7th day (including weekends). After the 7th day, a grade of '0' will be awarded even if the assessment is submitted. Submission time for all written assessments is set at 11:55 pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical concern. For any late submission of time-sensitive tasks, such as scheduled tests/exams, performance assessments/presentations, and/or scheduled practical assessments/labs, students need to submit an application for Special Consideration.

ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION:

Assignment submission will be online through the iLearn page. Submit assignments online via the appropriate assignment link on the iLearn page. A personalised cover sheet is not required with online submissions. 

• Assignment submission is via iLearn. You must upload your work as a single scanned PDF file.

Please note it is in your interests to make frequent submissions of your partially completed work as insurance against technical or other problems near the submission deadline.

Assessments where Late Submissions will be accepted

In this unit, late submissions will accepted as follows: ·

Assignment 1 – YES, Standard Late Penalty applies

Assignment 2 – YES, Standard Late Penalty applies

Assignment 3– YES, Standard Late Penalty applies

FINAL EXAMINATION: All students are expected to ensure that they are available until the end of the teaching semester, that is, the final day of the official examination period.  In case of unavoidable disruption, the students may be eligible for Special Consideration. The application for Special Consideration can be lodged via ask.mq.edu.au.

SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATIONS IMPORTANT: If you receive Special Consideration for the final exam, a supplementary exam will be scheduled in the interval between the regular exam period and the start of the next session. If you apply for special consideration, you must give the supplementary examination priority over any other pre-existing commitments, as such commitments will not usually be considered an acceptable basis for a second application for special consideration. Please ensure you are familiar with the policy prior to submitting an application. Approved applicants will receive an individual notification sometime in the week prior to the exam with the exact date and time of their supplementary examination.

We use R software. R can be downloaded from http://www.r-project.org/  free of charge. From Week 2, students will be given exercises each week covering materials from the lectures, and most exercises require using R.
