Late submissions of assessments

Sometimes unavoidable circumstances occur that might prevent you from submitting an assessment on time and, in that case, you may be eligible to lodge a Special Consideration request.

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, please note that no extensions to assessment deadlines will be granted. Assessments that are submitted late will attract a late penalty:

1.       There will be a deduction of 5% of the total available marks for each 24 hour period or part thereof that the submission is late.

2.       No assessment will be accepted more than 7 calendar days after the original due date and time (incl. weekends).

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

Required Text: It is essential to have the unit textbook. The textbook for the unit is Bodie, Z., Kane, A. and Marcus, A.J. (2024), Investments, 13th edition, McGraw-Hill (denoted BKM on the reading list). Textbook material will be supplemented by articles and handouts. Chapters from the textbook and specified articles should be read prior to attending the scheduled lecture on that topic.

Unit Web Page: Important handouts can be downloaded from the unit's iLearn site. iLearn (https://ilearn.mq.edu.au) provides the main online learning support. It is essential that you log in regularly to keep abreast of unit-wide announcements and use the resources to supplement your learning. Lecture slides are available by before each lecture for you to download from iLearn. Solutions to homework problems are made available online after the problems are discussed in class.

Delivery Format and Other Details: Students are required to enrol in one three-hour class per week and to attend the class in which they are enrolled. See details from the timetable. Classes will typically consist of a two-hour lecture plus a one-hour tutorial. Lectures are used to set the scene and show how the topic fits into the overall unit of study aims. You will be expected to have read the required reading before that week's class. Tutorials are essential for helping address any misunderstandings and to apply concepts to more difficult problems. Participation is strongly encouraged so students can check their understanding of concepts. Students should be prepared to present their homework solutions in the tutorials and/or to discuss the related conceptual issues.

Other Course Materials: Homework will be assigned at the end of lectures and these should be completed before coming to the following week's tutorial where students get to discuss their homework solutions.
