Assignments include questions and exercises that must be typed and submitted for marking by email and in hardcopy by the due data for marking. You should keep your own copy for future reference.
If they are late assignments will be marked out of half the marks.
You will receive comments on the marked assignment.
Hand in dates are the Monday in the week before the next block in all cases to allow time for marking and feedback.
The 7 tasks need similarly to be completed and submitted a week before the following block. If the hand in date is late there will be a zero mark for that step.
It is very much to your advantage to work as hard as you can on the assignments through the years as the marks count for a large proportion of the total (49%). On the other hand it is also easy to squander or lose marks that are easy to obtain by handing in late (work will be marked out of 50% of the mark value) or by not handing in at all.

At the beginning of each block students will be handed an evaluation form which can be filled in as the activities unfold and you are exposed to the different activities and teachers. A special section will be added this year to obtain your evaluation of the electronic nature of materials - both within the block and also between blocks. The class representative will be responsible for collecting these forms during the last afternoon of each block and for organising and chairing a session just after lunch on that day where verbal evaluatory input can be given in the presence of the programme and/or course convenor. This will not take more than 15 to 30 minutes and is an invaluable way of effecting rapid response to student inputs.
