The following information to to help you navigate what tasks are eligible for special considerations.

• Evaluate Quizzes: The  Evaluate Quizzes are randomised quizzes on Canvas, which help you to review each week’s topic. They are worth 8%, and due at 23:59pm each Sunday night in weeks 1-8 and 10-12 (unless there's a public holiday , when it is due the next work day). Quiz 3 is designated as the 'Early Feedback task'. Once started, the Quizzes cannot be re-set. The Early Feedback Task. will count, plus the best 7 of the remaining 10 Quizzes. If you miss a Quiz, it is not eligible for special consideration. Instead, the better mark principle will be used for the total marks on the Quizzes, towards the exam. This means that the total Quiz mark counts if and only if it is better than or equal to 8% of your exam mark. If your total Quiz mark is less than 8% of your exam mark, then 8% of your exam mark will be used instead. This allows you to improve in the exam.

• Projects: The data projects are designed to develop your statistical thinking and computational skills. They must be submitted electronically, via the DATA1001 Canvas site by the deadline. Late penalities apply. It is your responsibility to check that your project has been submitted correctly, otherwise it will not be marked. 

  • Project 1 (group & individual) are not eligible for special consideration, as they are formative tasks.

  • Project 2 (group) is not eligible for special consideration, as it involves group work.

  • Project 2 (individual) and Project 3 are eligible for special consideration. You can be granted a simple extension, or if eligible, a longer extension up to a maximum of 10 days. If you do not submit by the approved deadline, you will need to re-apply for a special consideration. No submissions can be made more than 10 days past the original date - any further special considerations can only be granted a mark adjustment for the final exam.

  • The better mark principle will be used for Project 2, towards Project 3. This means that the Project 2 mark counts if and only if it is better than or equal to your Project 3 mark. If your Project 2 mark is less than your Project 3 mark, then your Project 3 mark will replace your Project 2 mark. This will not happen if your Project 2 mark is less than 50%.

• Participation mark: This is a satisfactory/non-satisfactory mark assessing whether or not you participate in class activities during the labs. It is 0.25 marks per lab class up to 8 labs (there are 12 labs). You can apply for a special consideration - if eligible, it will be a mark adjustment for the final exam.

• Final exam: The final exam for this unit is compulsory and must be attempted. Failure to attempt the final exam will result in an AF grade for the course. If a second replacement exam is required, this exam may be delivered via an alternative assessment method, such as a viva voce (oral exam). The alternative assessment will meet the same learning outcomes as the original exam. The format of the alternative assessment will be determined by the unit coordinator.
