Submission requirements:
This assignment counts for 25% of your final marks in this subject.
This assignment is due in by 11.59pm, 5 May 2021.
An essay submitted after the due date without an extension having been granted attracts a penalty of 5% per day (or part thereof) of the marks available for the task. No marks will be given for an essay submitted after any response to this assignment has been marked and returned to any member of the class.
The Subject Learning Guide sets out the policy on the granting of extensions. Please note that if you are unable to submit your essay by the due date you should consult your tutor beforehand to see if there are grounds for an extension. Extensions will only be given for very good reasons, normally only medical grounds or other serious interruptions in your ability to work. They are not granted for reasons that were reasonably foreseeable at the time of enrolling in the subject.
The total assignment word limit is 1500 words excluding references. 10% over is the limit. Responses more than this may be penalised by the deduction of up to one-half of one of the marks awarded for every 100 words by which the response exceeds the limit. There is no minimum amount of words.
Please see Assessment Rubric below. Attention to presentation, expression, and the correct citation of cases, statutes and secondary sources will be rewarded. Use APA 6th or 7th Edition for references. No bibliography/reference list is required.
Plagiarism will be heavily penalised. Plagiarism is defined and discussed in the Academic Misconduct Policy available on the LMS.
Assignments are to be submitted on-line via Turnitin on the LMS.
Ensure your name and student number is clearly visible on your assignment. Please also provide your tutor’s name on the assignment.
Keep a copy of your work for your records.
