Extensions In order to ensure that students who hand their assignments in on time are not disadvantaged, and to enable the lecturer to comply with the requirement to return assignments to the class within 21 days, the following rules about extensions will be strictly enforced: Extensions be granted for online tests, as these have to be done within a specific time cannot frame, after which the answers are released to the class automatically. Computer problems and normal work-related pressures and family commitments do not constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions. If it becomes obvious that you are not going to be able to submit an assignment on time because of an unavoidable problem, you must submit your request for an extension to the Subject Coordinator in writing (email or post) to the due date. prior Requests for extensions will not be granted on or after the due date so you must make sure that any extension is requested prior to the day on which the assignment is due. You are expected to do all you can to meet assignment deadlines. Work and family related pressures do not normally constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions or incomplete grades. If you apply for an extension, you may be asked to email your lecturer on what you have done so far on the assignment. You must be able to provide (such as a certificate from a doctor or documentary evidence counsellor) justifying the need for an extension as soon as practicable - but please note that if the circumstances giving rise to the request for an extension arise on a day when you cannot get documentary evidence, you must still apply for the extension and before the due date submit the documentary evidence afterwards. Given the tight deadlines involved in returning assignments to students and putting feedback on Interact, the maximum extension granted generally will be seven (7) days from the . due date Assignments received more than 10 days after the due date or extension date will not be marked unless the staff member decides otherwise. Items received late will be penalised at 10% of the mark available for the assessment item per day it is late (see below). Note that for purposes of measuring lateness, the 'day' begins just after 00.00 hrs AEST - so an assignment received after midnight of the due date will be penalised 10% for lateness. This rule will be applied to all students uniformly. Penalties for Late Submission The Faculty of Business has determined that the penalty for the late submission of an assessment task (without obtaining the Subject Coordinator's approval for an extension) will be: , of the maximum marks allocated for the assessment10% deduction per day, including weekends task, i.e. 1 day late 10% deduction, or 2 days late 20% deduction. An example of the calculation would be: Maximum marks allocated = 20 Charles Sturt University Subject Outline MGT501 201730 SM I-20 January 2017-Version 1 Page of 17 18 Penalty for one day late = 2 marks (so, a score of 18/20 becomes 16/20 and a score of 12/20 becomes 10/20). If an assignment is due on a Friday but is not submitted until the following Tuesday, then the penalty will be four days (40% deduction or 8 marks in the example above). Submissions more than 10 days late will be acknowledged as received but will not be marked.

Student Feedback and Learning Analytics Evaluation of Subjects CSU values constructive feedback and relies on high response rates to Subject Experience Surveys (SES) to enhance teaching. Responses are fed back anonymously to Subject Coordinators and Heads of Schools to form the basis for subject enhancement and recognition of excellence in teaching. Schools report on their evaluation data; highlighting good practice and documenting how problems have been addressed. You can view a summary of survey results via the Student Portal SES Results (https://student.csu.edu.au/study/subject-experience-survey-results) page. We strongly encourage you to complete your online Subject Experience Surveys. You will be provided with links to your surveys via email when they open three [3] weeks before the end of session.
