Students will be expected to submit their assessment via the online assessment system in the Learn class site by 4.00 pm on or before the due date.  The lecturer also requires students to submit assessment work through the software Turnitin, to check for plagiarism. If this option is available students will submit work through Turnitin and obtain a report. They can then edit their asignment to reduce similarity before submitting assignments for marking via the Learn site.

It is the responsibility of the students to check their Internet access and ability to submit their work via the online system.  Any technical difficulties should be notified well in advance of the due date so that assistance can be provided or alternative arrangements can be negotiated.
