The ‘45% rule’ does not apply to this course. That is, student does not need to reach 45% weighted average across invigilated assessments. Please refer to https://learn.canterbury.ac.nz/course/view.php?id=7744 for further information. Late AssignmentsOur strong preference is for assignments to be handed in by the due date and time. In the consulting world, delays in delivering reports are bad for your business credibility. However, stuff happens. If you have to submit your assignment late, provide supporting documentation if appropriate (e.g., medical certificate). All late submissions will be accepted but may incur a penalty (5% per day). Any penalties imposed will be at the discretion of the course coordinator and will be based on the reason given and the lateness of the submission.Assessment In Te Reo MāoriIn recognising that Te Reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand, the University provides for students who may wish to use the Te Reo Māori in their assessment. If you intend to submit your work in Te Reo Māori you are required to do the following: Read the Assessment in Te Reo Māori Policy and ensure that you meet the conditions set out in the policy. This includes, but is not limited to, informing the Course Coordinator 1) no later than 10 working days after the commencement of the course that you wish to use Te Reo Māori and 2) at least 15 working days before each assessment due date that you wish to use Te Reo Māori.GradingMarks for assessment work may be scaled before a final grade is determined. You should not regard a raw score of 50% as a pass mark.
