Late Submission of Assessments Penalty

Unless an application for Special Consideration 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 11.55pm. A 1-hour grace period is provided to students who experience a technical concern. 

For any late submissions of time-sensitive tasks, such as scheduled tests, exams, performance assessments, and/or scheduled practical assessments/labs, students need to submit an application for Special Consideration.

Special Consideration

To request an extension on the due date/time for a timed or non-timed assessment task, you must submit a Special Consideration application. An application for Special Consideration does not guarantee approval. The approved extension date for a student becomes the new due date for that student. The late submission penalties above then apply as of the new due date. Students can apply for special consideration via AskMQ.

Learning and Teaching Activities

Classes

Classes for ACCG1000 in Session 2 2022 consist of a weekly live streamed online lecture via ECHO 360 and a weekly tutorial. The weekly lecture commences in Week 1 and the weekly tutorials commence in Week 2.

A recording of the live lecture will be uploaded on iLearn by Tuesday morning each week.  Each week's lecture will provide an explanation of that week's learning concepts as well as practical explanations and examples to supplement the concept materials. Each week you are expected to read both the relevant textbook chapter(s) listed in the unit schedule and any supplementary materials specified on iLearn in addition to watching the live or recorded lecture. Lecture slides,in pdf format, will be available on the ACCG1000 iLearn web page on a weekly basis.

The weekly tutorial classes will be for a duration of 1 hour and commence in Week 2.

The tutorials will involve the tutors and the students working through pre-set tutorial questions as well as in-class tutorial activities. The weekly tutorials are based upon the previous week's lecture topic. Attendance will be taken at tutorials and student participation is strongly encouraged. Students must register for a tutorial and attend the same tutorial each week.  Students are advised that any changes to tutorial classes must be made online through eStudent.

The purpose of tutorials (from Week 2 to 13) is to provide an interactive learning environment in which to apply and practice the content covered in lectures. You are expected to listen to the weekly lectures and attempt the weekly tutorial homework questions before attending your registered tutorial class. The suggested solutions to tutorial homework questions will be made available on the ACCG1000 iLearn web page at the end of each week.
