Attendance at class sessions is expected throughout the course. Students must attend and participate in the course sufficiently to meet the learning outcomes.

Formal and informal evaluation will take place in accordance with the relevant Course Evaluation Policy, to provide feedback to teaching staff about the relevance and validity of what has been learned as well as the quality of course delivery.

Departmental quality assurance for all courses on a rotational basis.

Work handed in after the due date with no extension granted is considered late. Late work will  incur a late penalty of one-mark reduction  (e.g., B to B-). Lecturers reserve the right not to mark late work, and no work will be accepted after assignments have been returned.

Written assignments must be word processed. Assignments should not be presented in clear files.  Assignments will be submitted electronically.
Keep a copy of all assignments.

Under exceptional circumstances (eg illness, accident, bereavement or critical personal circumstances) individual students may be granted an extension of the due date for an assignment. There is, however, a limit to the length of time that an extension can be granted and this should be negotiated with the relevant lecturer in the first instance. Extensions will not normally be given for longer than one week from the due date, unless exceptional circumstances prevail. Extensions are not granted automatically to students. Requests for extensions should be emailed to the lecturer at least two days prior to the due date for the assignment. Relevant evidence such as a medical certificate or a letter from a counsellor may be required in order for the lecturer to make a decision about whether or not to grant an extension. A copy of the lecturer’s email confirming the extension (if granted) and any supporting documentation must be attached to and submitted with the assignment. Extensions will not normally be granted because of pressure of university study, eg several pieces of work being due at about the same time. Students are encouraged to plan their work in a realistic manner and in advance so that they can meet their assessment deadlines.  Only one piece of work in a course may be aegrotated, and the other pieces of work must be passed with a C+ or better.

Resubmissions of assignments are not permitted in this course.

Only one piece of work in a course may be aegrotated, and the other pieces of work must be passed with a C+ or better.  The test is compulsory, and if the test is missed, a make-up test will be scheduled.

Students should refer to Regulation H of the General Course and Examination Regulations.

Students will be expected to submit their assessment via the online assessment system in the Learn class site by 5.00pm on or before the due date.  The lecturer may also ask 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, after 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. If you require assistance, please email ictservicedesk@canterbury.ac.nz, or phone 366 7001 ext 6060.
