Attendance Students are expected to view all lectures for MMCC2125. Lectures are not optional: they are a central component of meeting the learning outcomes in this unit and deliver important content that is directly assessed. Students who elect to not view lectures will miss out on important unit content and do so at their own risk. Students are likewise expected to attend all tutorials for MMCC2125. Tutorials are not optional: they deliver important content through practical application and are a central component of meeting the learning outcomes in this unit. Tutorials provide an environment where students can discuss ideas and learn from each other, building important networks and group work skills. In tutorials, you will also have the opportunity to ask for assistance from your tutor and receive informal feedback on work in progress. Students who do not attend tutorials will miss out on important unit content and learning activities and do so at their own risk.

Independent Work Students are expected to work independently outside of scheduled class times when they are working on all assessments. MMCC2125 students will need to do their own reading of relevant texts outside class time. 

Assessment standards Assessment standards by which the tasks are evaluated are described in the assessment rubrics. Detailed information will be provided in class and available from iLearn. 

Referencing Style preferred Style for this Unit is APA. Other styles such as Harvard may be used as long as all necessary information is provided and a consistent approach is taken. 

Assessment Submissions Written assessments for this unit are to be submitted online via the 'Turnitin' software that can be accessed through the MMCC2125 iLearn website. Student performances may be delivered 'live' on campus face to face in-class, 'live' online in-class, or online via pre-recorded video. Detailed information will be provided in class and available from iLearn.

Feedback Feedback will be given to students via the following ways:  

Whole class: Consolidated feedback on whole of class assignment performance, summarising key strengths and weaknesses from the unit convenor in class discussions and unit activities. Through the ‘announcement’ function in iLearn, if there are points of relevance to the whole class.

Individual: The ongoing opportunity to discuss assignment progress with the convenor via email or face to face student consultation. This provides a mechanism to provide feedback on progress made, prior to submission.

Formal: Text based comments attached to assignments marked in Turnitin/GradeMark. Marks are made available through the Gradebook function in iLearn.  

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.
