Apply problem-solving skills to novel situations related to disease pathogenesis. Academic staff in charge of various courses or Units of Study will notify students early on in the program of the deadlines for submission of assignments. A receipt for the assignment will be issued immediately or by email with 2 working days. The date of receipt of the assignment will be stamped on it by the Department. Final policy will be in place by 31 August, 2001.
Faculties set rules for final receipt of student marks at the end of semesters.
If a student has not finished all the required assessment tasks, including submission of written assignments, then a final mark for that course or Unit of Study cannot be issued by the University. If permission was not obtained, then the overall mark for the rest of the course will be submitted. Academic staff need time to mark assignments and this is best done for the class as a whole over a short period. In view of the points set out above, deadlines for written assignments should be adhered to. If a student desires an extension to a deadline for handing in a written assignment, then they should contact the academic in charge of that part of the course, as far in advance as possible, and make a request in writing.
