ONLINE QUIZZES

Quizzes will be online. They will consist of 10 questions and you will be given 10mins to complete each one. You will only be allowed one attempt at each question and one attempt for the whole quiz. Feedback to the test will be given once the quiz window has closed (i.e. after Sunday 8pm)

There will be 7 quizzes during the semester, the best 5 will be counted for your final grade. The quizzes will be opened on the Friday evening of the allocated week at 5pm. It will close on the Sunday at 8pm. 

The schedule of quizzes and their topics can be seen below. The material will include all lecture, practical and tutorial material. 

PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS

Practical examinations will be held in the usual scheduled practicals in weeks 6 and 13. You must attend the class you are enrolled in unless permission has been granted by Campus well being.

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.

If a practical 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.

THEORY EXAMINATIONS

The University Examination period for Semester 1, 2019 is from June 10th to June 28th 2019.

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 circumstance. In these circumstances you may wish to consider applying for Special Consideration. Information about short-term, serious and unavoidable circumstances 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 attend and complete an examination or assessment you are declaring that you are fit to sit that assessment and special consideration will not normally be granted. 

Serious and unavoidable disruption: The University classifies a disruption as serious and unavoidable if it:

• could not have reasonably been anticipated, avoided or guarded against by the student; and
• were beyond the student's control; and
• caused substantial disruption to the student’s capacity for undertaking assessment for the unit(s); and
• occurred during an event critical study period and were at least three (3) consecutive days duration or a total of 5 days within the teaching period and/or
• prevented completion of an assessment task scheduled for a specific date (e.g. final examination, in class test/quiz, in class presentation).

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.

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.

Fit to Sit Model

Macquarie University operates under a ‘Fit to Sit’ model. This means that, in sitting an examination and/or in-class test or otherwise submitting an assessment, a student is declaring that they are fit to do so. It is the responsibility of the student to determine whether they are fit to sit an examination or test, or otherwise submit an assessment. Therefore, if a student is feeling unfit to sit the examination or test, or otherwise submit the assessment, they should not do so.

Nonetheless, a student may submit an application for Special Consideration if they can demonstrate that:

• they were unfit to make reasonable judgement on their fitness to undertake the assessment, due to mental illness or other exceptional circumstances, or
• they were taken ill during the assessment (in the case of an examination or test), and this can be independently corroborated.

In cases where a student is taken ill during an examination/class test, the student must advise the examination supervisor, who will record the case on the Examination Room Report Form.

3.   One 2-hour laboratory class per week, Weeks 1-13

4.   One 1-hour tutorial class per week, Weeks 1-13

5.  3-4 hours per week self-instructional learning, set readings from the text and exercises on lecture topics

Class times and locations
