ASSIGNMENTS

Grading of assignments
The purpose of the preparatory assignments is to practise and learn, so you will gain full points by completing each one acceptably, on schedule and according to  the instructions. However, points will be deducted due to deficient or incomplete submission; e.g. missing elements, obviously poor English (clearly below B2), or late submission. In some cases rewriting may be required before accepting the task; for example, if the first version has been clearly off target. The final assignments, final report and presentation,  are graded based on the grading rubrics.

Deadlines
The required course assignments are all submitted to MyCourses. The deadlines are normally by midnight before the next lecture.
