Late submissions of assessments

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, no extensions will be granted. There will be a deduction of 10% of the total available assessment-task marks made from the total awarded mark for each 24-hour period or part thereof that the submission is late. Late submissions will only be accepted up to 96 hours after the due date and time.

No late submissions will be accepted for timed assessments – e.g., quizzes, online tests.

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.

Classes

Classes in ACCG3008 are composed of lectures and tutorials. The learning outcomes of this unit can only be achieved through self-study and independent learning supported by lectures and tutorials. The lectures provide a general overview of the topics highlighting a number of concepts and techniques. The tutorials complement lectures by providing opportunities to further explore all relevant concepts and techniques. Both lectures and tutorials will only support your learning if you prepare them thoroughly by completing the recommended readings and the pre-set tutorial questions beforehand. 

The lectures are pre-recorded and lecture recordings are available on iLearn. 

One-hour weekly tutorials start from Week 2. The timetable for tutorial classes can be found on the University website at: http://www.timetables.mq.edu.au/. You must enroll in a tutorial before the session starts and finalize your tutorial enrolment by the end of Week 2. You should attend your registered tutorial. The tutorials may be undertaken either face-to-face or online via Zoom.
