General Instructions to Students

 1 mark will be deducted by default for failure to follow format and instructions.
 Zero marks will be given for failure to complete and submit the assignment.
 Late submission will not be entertained.
 Plagiarism is a serious offence. The lecturer has the rights not to accept submission
of plagiarised or duplicated work.
 Plagiarism include the following behaviours (but not limited to):
o copy another student’s work,
o hire or ask another individual to complete the assignment for you,
o copy too many words or ideas from one or two sources, that makes up a
significant portion of your work, even with proper citation.

Group work
 Each group member must actively participate in the completion of the assignment.
Free-riding is unethical and extremely unfair to fellow group members.
 Each group member is expected to keep the contact numbers and e-mail addresses
of the other members of the group.
 The group leader has the responsibility to ensure that all group members play a part
in the completion of the assignment. The group leader is also responsible to ensure
that all members’ names are written on the final submission.
 It is the responsibility of each group member to ensure that the final submission is
complete and of the acceptable standard. Should any errors or omission occurred in
the final submission, each group member is held accountable for negligence – in
other words, failure to perform their responsibilities as expected.
