I am a little annoyed. My last assignment was due on the 24th. I unfortunately am an idiot and ended up submitting it on the 2nd. Results for the subject were also due on the 24th, so my mark has been put in as a fail grade, and I have to attend a hearing to see if I’m allowed to stay in my course. However, there are two caveats here.
The results policy says they take 5% of marks off for every WORKING day over due date and time so if we count the working days, it should be 25% off the grade, or 30% if they count the day I submitted, if it’s before the due time.
It also says that the assignment will not be marked if it’s over 10 or more working days over due.
I have emailed the subject coordinator, because if my last assignment got 70%, and this one was probably about the same standard if not higher, I should still have enough marks to pass the subject. The subject coordinator has not replied. I think they are on holidays now.
I wonder if something can be done or if I have to fail because of this. Based on the policy, I should still be able to get it marked. Unless there is a line here saying that if it was submitted after results release, I can’t get my assignment graded.
I failed digital programing 2 in 98 doing that. Late assignments are one thing. The end of subject and result submission are another. The subject has a deadline, without a prior extension I expect you’ll be stuck with it. It sucked for me.
Tbh. I should never have been in that course to begin with. I only went to uni due to high school pressure to do so. My parents encouraged a take drugs and party lifestyle which didn’t help either.
uni rant

Don’t know if it will apply, a million years ago I got a “automatic 50% unmarked submitted too late”
Automatic 50% passing grade? Or 50% deducted?
Automatic pass, for that paper. Everything else still mattered overall.
Ie, you could have 1 massive Fuckup and still get through

Oh no :( how did that change the trajectory of things for you?
I’m still going to write in my submission to the hearing about their policy and see what happens. I didn’t work on that assignment for nothing.
