OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    In  order  to fully meet the objectives of this unit,  attendance
     and  participation in lectures and tutorials  is  required.   For
     this  reason,  attendance  and  participation  form  10%  of  the
     semester  mark.  Failure to attend a minimum of 80% of  scheduled
     classes  (without medical certificates) will therefore result  in
     the  forfeiture of the 10% attendance and participation component
     of the assessment.
2    Unless  approval  for  late submission has  been  obtained,  late
     assignments  will  be  penalised  at  the  rate  of  10%  of  the
     assignment's mark per working day overdue. For internal  students
     assignments are due by 4.00pm on the due date. Extension requests
     must  be  made in writing no later than 24 hours before  the  due
     time,   and   supported  by  documented  evidence,   eg   medical
     certificate.
3    A  final  grade  is  determined on the basis of  the  accumulated
     points,  ie  if the accumulated percentage across  all  items  of
     assessment  is within the Credit range, then the final  grade  is
     Credit  (B);   if  the total is within the Pass range,  then  the
     final grade is Pass (C), etc.
