TUTORIALS

Students are strongly encouraged to attend and actively participate in all tutorials in this unit.  Tutorials have been designed to align with learning outcomes and assessment tasks within this unit.

QUIZZES

Quizzes will be available through ilearn unless otherwise indicated.

It is expected that the academic honesty policy (http://mq.edu.au/policy/docs/academic_honesty/policy.html) be followed at all times.  Breaches of the academic honesty policy may result in disciplinary procedures for the involved student.  

All quizzes should be attempted.  Quizzes will open each week on Wednesday at 10am and close the following Tuesday at 1pm.  Quizzes will not be reopened after they are closed for any reason. If submission is affected by technical difficulties, you can send your answers to the unit convener (hazel.jenkins@mq.edu.au) PRIOR to the closing time of the quiz for manual grading.

COMPETENCY AND SLIDE EXAMS

If a competency assessment or slide exam is missed a supplementary exam will only be considered under the Special Consideration policy (https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special-consideration), applied for through www.ask.mq.edu.au within 5 days of the assessment.

Attendance at a slide exam or competency declares that you are fit to sit the exam.  Re-sitting of slide exams or competencies will only be considered under the Special Consideration policy (https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special-consideration), applied for through www.ask.mq.edu.au within 5 days of the assessment.  If a re-sit occurs, either a VIVA (oral) or written format may be used.

THEORY EXAMINATIONS

The University Examination period for Semester 2, 2019 is from November 11th to November 29th 2018.

You are expected to present yourself for examination at the time and place designated in the University Examination Timetable. The timetable will be available in Draft form approximately eight weeks before the commencement of the examinations and in Final form approximately four weeks before the commencement of the examinations.

You are advised that it is Macquarie University policy not to set early examinations for individuals or groups of students. You are expected to ensure that you are available until the end of the teaching semester that is the final day of the official examination period.

The only exception to not sitting an examination at the designated time is because of documented illness or unavoidable disruption. In these circumstances you may wish to consider applying for Special Consideration. Information about unavoidable disruption and the Special Consideration process is available at https://students.mq.edu.au/study/my-study-program/special-consideration, applied for through www.ask.mq.edu.au within 5 days of the disruption

If you receive special consideration for the final exam, a supplementary exam will be scheduled in the interval between the regular exam period and the start of the next session.  By making a special consideration application for the final exam you are declaring yourself available for a resit during the supplementary examination period and will not be eligible for a second special consideration approval based on pre-existing commitments.  Please ensure you are familiar with the policy prior to submitting an application. You can check the supplementary exam information page on FSE101 in iLearn (bit.ly/FSESupp) for dates, and approved applicants will receive an individual notification one week prior to the exam with the exact date and time of their supplementary examination. If you are approved for Special Consideration and granted a supplementary exam, only your supplementary exam result will be counted towards your final grade.

If you attend and complete an examination you are declaring that you are fit to sit that assessment and Special Consideration will not normally be granted. 

Students with a pre-existing disability/health condition or prolonged adverse circumstances may be eligible for ongoing assistance and support.  Such support is governed by other policies and may be sought and coordinated through Campus Wellbeing and Support Services.
