Deadline(s): March 17th 2019 + oral presentations week 9

Projects must in hard copy to the academic office and be loaded on Turnitin by midnight on March 17th 2019 Only when this has been done will the project be considered submitted.

Oral presentations will be due in week 9 @class time. Students absent on the day of the presentation without any justification will get 0 for the oral component.

Late submission:

Coursework may be accepted after the deadline, but 5% will be deducted from the face value mark (5 marks) for work submitted before the end of the day after the due date, and 10 marks for course work submitted up to one week after the due date. (For example, if a piece of work deserves a mark of 48pc, 43pc will be recorded if the work is submitted before the end of the day, and 38pc - fail – if the work is submitted up to a week late). If the imposition of the penalty deduction results in a fail mark, the student will be deemed to have failed the assessment. Assessments which are marked with a literal grade, or which take the form of presentation, performance or exhibition may not be submitted late. Submission of coursework arising from reassessment may not be submitted late.

If you fail to submit an electronic version of your work, your mark will normally be recorded as a non-submission. However, if on the due date for your assignment, Turnitin is unavailable due to technical difficulties, students must submit the electronic version of your work as soon as possible to the academic Office. Your tutor will be aware of the situation and may well have informed you of such problems, so you will not risk penalties. You should submit the hard copy of your work as normal by the deadline. A paper copy of the project must be delivered to the lecturer at the start of the next class after the deadline.
