Assessment

Assessment Due Date Percentage 
Nutrient management design report (groups of 2) 20%
Assignments on nutrient management (2 * 3% each) 6%
Mid term test (1 h, nutrient management) 14%
Drinking water treatment design report (groups of 2) 20%
Assignments on drinking water treatment (including lab reports) (4 * 3% each) 12%

You cannot pass this course unless you achieve a mark of at least 40% in both the term test and the final exam. A student who narrowly fails to achieve 40% in either the test or exam, but who performs very well in the other, may be eligible for a pass in the course at the discretion of the course co-ordinator.

Students may apply for special consideration if their performance in an assessment is affected by extenuating circumstances beyond their control. Applications for special consideration should be submitted via the Examinations Office website http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/exams/ within five days of the assessment. Where an extension may be granted for an assessment, this will be decided by direct application to the course co-ordinator and an application to the Examinations Office may not be required.  Special consideration is available only for the test and examination—not for the lab or the design assignments.
