REQUIREMENTS FOR DP
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION VERY CAREFULLY
In order to qualify for a DP (that is, in order to be permitted to write the October/November examination), a
student must
• attend and participate in a minimum of 75% of all tutorial classes. Please note that this is not a
correspondence course, and that the 25% which may be missed includes any tutorial which you may have
missed due to illness. The onus is on you to sign the tutorial attendance register and to provide
a medical certificate for any missed tutorials.
• satisfactorily complete 75% tutorial assignments (hand-in tutorials), regardless of whether or not you
attended the tutorial session itself (you must obtain an average of 40% for all marked tutorials; this is an
average of all tutorials for the course, regardless of whether or not you handed them in on time – see later
for what happens if your tutorials are handed in late)
• submit 2 satisfactorily completed assignments (you will given more information about the requirements in
class)
• write all tests and examinations
• obtain a minimum year mark of 40%
• obtain a sub-minimum of 50% in the final examination to pass the course.
These requirements will be strictly enforced.
Please note that all work which you submit for marking must be done on an individual basis, except for group
assignments. This means that collaborative work is not acceptable. Copying another person’s work is cheating,
and students suspected of this will be referred to the University authorities.
Late tutorials will not be marked.
Assignments/projects submitted late for this course will incur a penalty of 10% per day, or part thereof (and
this includes Saturdays and Sundays). This will be strictly applied, only a satisfactory medical or other
certificate recognised by the University will be accepted.
Plagiarism Declaration
It is University policy that all work submitted for evaluation must include a plagiarism declaration. Such a
declaration must accompany every tutorial and assignment handed in. Plagiarism Declarations are available
from the secretaries on 4 th Floor Leslie Commerce or from the Vula course website. No tutorials or
assignments will be marked without a plagiarism declaration.
