Attendance

Attendance is compulsory in all on-campus sessions. Students must engage with course materials via online theory modules in the LEARN site, and participate in the weekly online group discussion forums. Students must notify lecturers prior to their absence (via email) with an explanation. Multiple absences must be accompanied by a medical certificate or similar.

Evaluation

The course will be formally evaluated.

Grade moderation

Subject to internal and external moderation procedures.

Late submission of work

Work is late if it is handed in after the due date, without an extension having been granted. Work submitted up to five working days of the due date will be marked, but will only be eligible for a minimum passing mark in that assignment. Work received after five working days will not be marked and will receive a failing grade.

All assignments will be submitted via Learn dropboxes.

Requests for extensions

Extensions are reserved for exceptional circumstances only and are not granted automatically. In exceptional circumstances (e.g. illness, accident, bereavement or critical personal circumstances) individual students may be granted an extension of the due date for an assignment. Extensions will not be granted because of pressure of university study, eg several pieces of work being due at about the same time. Students are encouraged to plan their work in a realistic manner and in advance so that they can meet their assessment deadlines.

A request for an extension should be emailed to the Course Coordinator (patrick.shepherd@canterbury.ac.nz) at least three days prior to the due date for the assignment. If you apply for an extension, you will be asked to supply a medical certificate or other relevant evidence of special circumstances (e.g. a letter from a counsellor). Students who cannot meet these regulations because of extended illness or unusually exceptional circumstances must apply to the Head of School (or their nominee). Students will be notified of the outcome of their extension application via email.

Extensions will not normally be given for longer than one week from the due date unless exceptional circumstances prevail. No extensions will be granted after the due date of the assignment.

Resubmissions

Resubmissions are not available for this course.

Special Considerations

Where for reasons beyond their control, students are prevented from completing an assessment or suffer significant impairment, they may apply for what is known as “special consideration”. University of Canterbury Special Consideration provisions may apply to impaired performance, non-completion of assessment items, and to late discontinuation (withdrawal) from a course.

A detailed description of special consideration and materials to support the applications process are available at: Special Considerations Process.  


Generally speaking, applications for special considerations should be lodged within five working days of the due date of that assessment item. For more details on this, please refer to the Special Considerations Regulations.


This information replaces any previous references to special consideration, Aegrotat or Backdated (Late) Withdrawal in the Course Information System, Learn or Course Outlines. If you are unclear about the implications or process please discuss with your Course Coordinator or contact the Student Advice team for assistance.

Course website

Students display academic integrity when they submit for assessment work that is their own. When this is not the case, the students are engaging in cheating or dishonest practices. All forms of cheating and dishonest practice are taken seriously and penalties will result. Students should refer to Regulation J of the General Course and Examination Regulations. It is unacceptable to submit sections of work completed for one course as part of an assignment for another course.

Where to submit and collect work

All assignments will be submitted via Learn dropboxes.
