Marking policy for assignments

General marking policy

• Students should be given three attempts for submitting their assignments (before the deadline). First attempt must provide the student with SafeAssign match report for plagiarism level. So, the student gets the chance to revise their assignments by using the additional attempts.
• Mark will be awarded for the last submission attempt. This must be clarified to the students.
• No more attempts or marks for resubmitting the assignment should be given to the students after the marks are shown on BB.
• If the instructor requested additional requirements for the course’ assignments, these requirements must be clearly clarified verbally to the students during a course’s session and posted on BB.
• One mark will be deducted for not including the cover page with all required information. In case the student included the cover page with some missing information, (0.5) mark will be deducted.
• 20% of the total grade will be deducted for providing a poor structure of the assignment. For example, if the assignment is marked out of 15, the student provided an excellent content and answer that met all the requirements of the assignment’s question with poor writing structure. Then the student will get 15 based on the content and you will deduct up to 20% (3 marks) from the total grade (5% for paper style, 5% spelling and grammar errors, 5% for referencing and 5% for word count).
• No email submission is accepted.
• ONLY WORD file format is accepted. Other file formats (PDF, JPG…etc.), the assignment will award ZERO mark.
• Marks will be available on BB after one week of due dates.
• If the SafeAssign match report equals 20% and above, the assignment must be reviewed by the instructor.
• The cover page and assignment’ questions match percentage must be excluded from the overall match percentage of SafeAssign report.
• 80% and above of the answer is plagiarised, the assignment will award ZERO mark. (including identical assignments, both students award ZERO mark)
• 20-79% of the answer is plagiarised, these plagiarised parts should be highlighted, and only non-plagiarised parts must be marked.
• It aims to ensure that all students are treated equitably and do not gain an unfair advantage by choosing to submit their work late.
• Penalties for late submission shall be 10% of the total mark of the assignment for each day of late submission up to six calendar days after the due date.
• Assignments will not be accepted after the sixth day and the student will award ZERO mark.
• All late submissions must be made electronically through BB.
