The score for all assessment items will be aggregated for the final grade however ALL assessment items must gain a pass mark to pass the course. Assessment item will be given an A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C,C-, D or E, and this will become part of the overall course grade. All parts of the assessment MUST receive a minimum of a C- grade in order to pass the course.
Calculating the final assessment grade
The course grade will be the calculated using assessment grades if attendance and participation are sufficient to meet the learning outcomes of the course. The final grade will be calculated as (Total score for assessment item 1*0.34) + (Total score for assessment item 2*0.33) + (Total score for assessment item 3*0.33). The final assessment grade given will be based on the final mark.
Internal cross-lecturer moderation will occur for each assessment item.
External moderation will follow External Moderation Procedures for the School of Sciences and Physical Education.
No work will be marked if it is handed in after the due date without an extension being granted.
FLO students:
Please refer to the Assessment Guidelines for students.
FLO assignments submitted by hand, email, fax, drop-box or any other online repository after the due date, with no extension granted, are considered late.
FLO assignments submitted by post or courier which are date stamped by the College's Academic Services Team more than two days after the due date are considered 'late'.
No work will be marked if it is handed in late (as defined above) without an extension having been granted.
Extensions are reserved for exceptional circumstances only and are not granted automatically. The lecturer must be contacted at least 3 days prior to the due date of the assessment item. Applications must be supported by relevant evidence of the special circumstances (e.g. medical certificate) and made in writing (email or letter).
In the event that an assessment item has achieved most, but not all, of the required learning outcomes a resubmit may be granted. This decision will be made at the discretion of the lecturer. However:
• Students are restricted to one resubmit in any one curriculum area within the course (ie one resubmit for the entire course of 3 subject areas)
• The maximum grade for a resubmitted assessment item will be C
• Assessment items for which an extension has been given are not eligible for a ‘resubmit’
• Students will not have the opportunity to resubmit an item that has already been resubmitted.
• Students who have had unexplained absences will not be eligible for a resubmission for the assessment item in that area.
• Late assessment items will not be accepted.
Timetable for Resubmits: A maximum of one week or five working days from the day assignments are returned is allowed for resubmissions.
Criteria for resubmission: Conditions or criteria for resubmissions will be clearly outlined on the returned assignment.
On Campus students’ assignments are to be submitted with a Cover Sheet to the Assignments Room in Ōrakipaoa, accessed from the back doors closest to The Collective (the USCA Cafe), by 5.00pm on or before the due date. Hours of operation are 11am-2pm weekdays. For dropping off assignments outside these hours, please use the drop boxes placed at the back entrance to Ōrakipaoa.
Pick up Arrangements: It is your responsibility to pick each assignment up from the Academic Services Team. Lecturers will not follow up on resubmits and fails. This is your responsibility.
