Assessment
Assessment will be based on the student's knowledge and understanding of the topics as per the course outline. Students should keep a copy of all work submitted for assessment. Loss or corruption of data (student's electronic based work) is not a valid reason for late or non-submission of work. Assignments that do not conform to the required format will be returned to the student for resubmission. Assignments must be received by the due date otherwise the student will incur a grade penalty. Any resources used in the student's work must be cited properly. Submitting substantially similar work to meet requirements of any other subject is not permitted without the written permission of the lecturer.
