Attendance

Due to the student centred and workshop type nature of most classes students must attend 80% of sessions (i.e. if a course has 10 sessions then students must attend at least 8 sessions). This will ensure that students can make sense of course progressions and do not miss vital information.  Exceptions to this will be considered by the lecturer on a case by case basis  Students will be required to supply supporting documentation and evidence (e.g a medical certificate) to present a case to the lecturer when considering waivers for this requirement

Evaluation

Students will be asked to complete course and teacher evaluations, using the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring surveys.  Survey responses are conducted electronically and are confidential. The Faculty of Education will conduct regular graduate surveys.

Grade moderation

All course assessments in the Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) are internally and externally moderated.  A sample of your work may be used as part of this moderation process. Regular examiners meetings monitor the distribution of final grades in courses and adjustments are made if necessary to ensure reasonable consistency and comparability of course grades

Late submission of work

An assessment is late if it is handed in after the due date, without a formal extension.  If an assessment is submitted after the due date, 5% will be deducted from the final grade for every day the assessment is late.  No assessments  will be accepted after a period of 3 days after the due date, unless an extension has been granted

In circumstances where this is not appropriate, the student should discuss their situation with the course lecturer as soon as possible.

Students will have the opportunity to resubmit one failed piece of assessment that originally received a mark between 40% - 49%, provided they have passed all other major assessments for the course. The resubmission will receive a maximum pass grade of 50%. Resubmissions will not apply to any examinations held during the University of Canterbury examination periods.
