• Assignments:  There are two short release assignments. Your work for each assignment must be submitted electronically via Canvas by the deadline. Note that your submission will not be marked if it is illegible or if it is submitted sideways or upside down. It is your responsibility to check that your assignment has been submitted correctly and that it is complete (check that you can view each page). Late submissions will receive a penalty. A mark of zero will be awarded for all submissions more than 10 days past the original due date. Further extensions past this time will not be permitted. The maximum extension you can be awarded through Special Consideration for the assignments is 7 calendar days. If you are affected for more than 7 calendar days you will be granted a mark adjustment. This means that your final exam mark will count instead for the assignment mark. The closing date for submissions (with a late penalty) is the same for all students. It is not changed if you are granted an extension. This allows for timely release of the marks and feedback. Note that the assignments are not eligible for a Simple Extension through the Special Consideration system since they are short release assignments (released to you to complete within 10 working days).
• Quiz: One quiz will be held in-person on campus during Week 7. You must sit the quiz at the time and location that appears as Assessment in your timetable. If you are unable to sit the quiz at that time, then you must apply for Special Consideration or Special Arrangements. Quiz feedback will be returned through Canvas.
• Weekly Online Quizzes: There are ten weekly online quizzes (through Canvas and equally weighted) and the marks for the best eight count. The first two are used for the Early Feedback Task. Each online quiz consists of a set of randomized questions. You should not apply for special consideration for the quizzes. The better mark principle will apply for the total 8% - i.e. if your overall exam mark is higher, then your 8% for the weekly online quizzes will come from your exam. The deadline for completion of each quiz is 23:59 Sunday (starting in week 3). The precise schedule for the quizzes is found on Canvas. We recommend that you follow the due dates outlined above to gain the most benefit from these quizzes.
• Workshop Participation: This is a satisfactory/non-satisfactory mark assessing whether or not you participate in class activities during the workshops. It is 0.25 marks per workshop class up to 8 workshops (there are 11 workshops).
• Final Examination: The final exam for this unit is compulsory and must be attempted. Failure to attempt the final exam will result in an AF grade for the course. Further information about the exam will be made available at a later date on Canvas. If a second replacement exam is required, this exam may be delivered via an alternative assessment method, such as a viva voce (oral exam). The alternative assessment will meet the same learning outcomes as the original exam. The format of the alternative assessment will be determined by the unit coordinator.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.

Even though the use of AI is allowed for some assessments, it is better for your learning to do your own work to complete your assessments.
