Late Assessment Submission Penalty  

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 mark of ‘0’ (zero) 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 issue.    

This late penalty will apply to non-timed sensitive assessment (incl essays, reports, posters, portfolios, journals, recordings etc). Late submission of time sensitive tasks (such as tests/exams, performance assessments/presentations, scheduled practical assessments/labs etc) will only be addressed by the unit convenor in a Special consideration application. Special Consideration outcome may result in a new question or topic. 

GEOP3030 Liveable Cities: Infrastructure, mobilities and place-making is a subject that is offered internally and externally. Internal students must attend lectures on campus on Fridays 9-11am - these will be interactive lectures where you get to engage with new ideas about liveability! 

Friday lectures are held at 12 Second Way - 430 Active Learning Space. External students will engage with recorded material from the lecture and do online activities weekly. Internal students will participate in compulsory tutorials on Fridays at 11am or midday (depending on your enrolment). 

Each week you are expected to complete assigned readings available on Leganto prior to the tutorials and participate in face-to-face tutorials (internal students) or online discussion forums (external students). 

All students are required to complete all assessments and these will be due at the same time for internal and external students.

GEOP3030 Liveable Cities uses a diverse range of digital resources, including an iLearn page where slides and audio from lectures will be posted, the Macquarie University Library for access to peer reviewed journal articles accessed via Leganto, and the Internet for news about, and discussions of, liveable cities. You will be required to have access to word processing technology and access to iLearn to complete and submit assignments.

In this offering of GEOP3030, students are able to choose from a range of selected plans to do their Planning Report. This will make it easier for you to do the assessment task and apply theories about liveability to existing plans. The Liveable Cities Portfolio has been adjusted to reduce complexity and clarify student's expectations of the Digital Media component.
