Attendance and class requirements

This unit will be delivered fully online in Semester 2020.

Attendance Requirements: Each week, students are required to watch an on-line lecture and to attend a one-hour Zoom tutorial (if enrolled in RE mode) or a one-hour in-person tutorial (if enrolled in CC mode). Students must attend 90% of scheduled classes, in this case, 12 of 13 lectures and 11 of 12 tutorials.

Lectures -will be available on the HSBH1013 Canvas site by Monday of that week at the latest. Please note that lectures are designed to prime students for the weekly tutorial readings by providing a broad overview and theoretical framework for the tutorial topics. All material covered in lectures is assessable (e.g. in the take-home exam) and material discussed in the lectures and/or provided online is regarded as having been provided to all students in the unit. 

Tutorials – students are allocated a tutorial class time and day when they enrol in this unit. Please attend the class you have been assigned to via Zoom. Please note if you are enrolled in RE mode you must attend an on-line tutorial and if you are enrolled in CC mode you must attend an in-person tutorial. Tutorial attendance will be recorded each week. Students may only miss one tutorial (without a Special Consideration). Students who miss more than one tutorial without a Special Consideration will be penalised by 2 marks from the overall final mark for the unit for each day of non-attendance over and above the one absence allowed.

Late Penalties: Unless an application for special consideration or special arrangement has been approved, students must submit all assessment for a unit of study on the due date specified in the unit of study outline. If the assessment is completed or submitted within an approved period of extension by way of an approved special consideration application, academic plan adjustment, no academic penalty will be applied to that piece of assessment. If an assessment is submitted after the due date (or extended due date as described above), the late submission of assessment will result in an academic penalty as follows:

Written work submitted electronically after 11.59 pm on the due date will be considered to have been submitted late.

For every calendar day up to and including ten calendar days after the due date, a penalty of 5% of the maximum awardable marks will be applied to late work. For work submitted more than ten calendar days after the due date a mark of zero will be awarded.”
