Due Date: 10 am Friday, May 2nd
Weighting: 45%
Penalties:
• Late submission: Lateness penalty will be applied as 5% of the total mark for that assignment for every day late, therefore an assignment worth 30% of the total mark for the unit will incur a 1.5 mark deduction every day until the assignment is submitted.
• Over-Length: Writing over the allocated word limit attracts a penalty of 5% of the maximum mark for every 100 words over the stated word limit. Therefore, for the assignment (worth 45%
of the overall assessment) if the assignment is 100 words over the limit (2,100 words) then 5% x 45 = 2.25 marks will be subtracted from whatever the student received for the assignment.
Submission:
• The assignment should be submitted on TURNITIN. The submission procedure will be provided in the next tutorial.
