Task description

This assessment task requires submission of a two to three page (A4) answer to Assessable IL&AC Tutorial Submissions (ATS) scheduled for a tutorial during the semester at scheduled times during the semester (see Learning Activities). Each of the five (5) submissions are IL&AC problem questions using the IL&AC technique and are worth two (2) marks each (Five submissions at 2% each totalling 10% of the overall course mark). The two (2) marks will be allocated for the identification and treatment of the issues relevant to the solution of each submission. Further details about the ATS will be provided in tutorials and on Blackboard during the semester. Students must make a serious and reasonable attempt to answer each ATS.

Please take note of the following:

  • The answer for each ATS will be discussed in the relevant Tutorial itself. Tutorials are not recorded and whilst brief guidelines about the answer to each submission will be released at the end of each week, these guidelines will not be a full and formative answer to a submission - students must attend the scheduled tutorials during the semester each week to obtain the full benefit of the discussion since this will aid them in their understanding of both the subject material and answer technique;
  • At the end of the semester, a mark out of 10 will be given to each student if, in the overall judgement of the course coordinator, the criteria set out in the ECP have been satisfied.
  • Student answers to these submissions must be typed and must be submitted electronically in Word in the relevant submission folder in the course Blackboard site. Students only need to submit their final draft answer for submissions. 

This assessment task evaluates student’s abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Students are advised that the use of AI technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Submission guidelines

Assignments must be submitted electronically via the submission link on the course Blackboard site.
