Assignment Requirements:

Instructions:

The assignment must be a product of your own work, except for the use of resources supplied with the course, discussions conducted with the lecturers, and other assistance shown as acceptable in the section Assistance to Other Students below.

Assistance to other students:

Students themselves can be excellent resources to assist the learning of fellow students, but there are issues that arise in assessments that relate to the type and amount of assistance given by students to other students. It is important to recognise what types of assistance are beneficial to another’s learning and also what types of assistance are acceptable in an assessment.
