In extreme cases lack of citation or referencing may lead to the assignment not being marked, or the work being failed because of plagiarism. All assignments must have a signed school cover sheet attached. Where the work has more than one author, all must sign. Assignments without this sheet will not be accepted, and will be treated as late if they are not presented in acceptable form before the deadline. Cover sheets may be collected from the School office.
All dates given for assignments are firm deadlines.
There will be no pro rata application of late penalties. No assignment will be accepted more than 3 working days after its due date and the student will receive 0 for that assignment. In the event that there is a genuine and unforeseen difficulty in meeting a deadline you must see the course coordinator to discuss the matter before the due date. Extensions will only be granted in exceptional circumstances, and will not be granted in any case when application is made on, or after the advertised due date. Strategies such as simply slipping a note under my door asking for an extension will not suffice.
