Assessment policy for the unit
Penalties for late submission of assignments
Students will incur penalties if their work is submitted late without an
extension.
Assignments handed in late, without an extension, will incur a penalty of 2%
per day, up to 14 calendar days.
Assignments received more than two weeks late without an extension will not
be accepted, and will be returned unmarked. No extension will be granted for
more than 14 days unless forms part of a special consideration application.
Extensions
Extensions must be applied for before the due date, and I will send you two
copies of an official extension slip, one for you to keep, one to return with your
work.
Return of assignments
Assignments submitted on time will be marked and returned within three
weeks.
Rewrite/resubmission of failed assignments
The Faculty policy is that rewrites are only permitted in FIRST year units. The
implication of the policy for this unit is that if you fail your Workbook
assessment you fail the unit, including the placement, and will need to repeat
both next year. You will note that all pieces of work must be passed for a pass
in the unit.
Grading
Each piece of work will be graded according to the Monash system:
High Distinction

safeguard in the event of a disputed grade or a lost assignment.
Plagiarism
The School Policy on Plagiarism defines those forms of writing that are
regarded as plagiarism. Any form of copying of another student’s work, and
any unacknowledged use of written material from any source constitutes
plagiarism. The policy is not reprinted in full in guides for upper level units.
Make sure that you are clear about the ‘rules’ for referencing.
Please refer to the School’s policies for more detail and observe the referencing
