Submission of assessment items

Extensions & Late submissions

The assessment items reflect a logical progression commencing with the initial project proposal, a work-in-progress update report, through to the completion of the final seminar and written final report. Each project is different, for example, some projects may be industry-based and some may be research-based. The student and supervisor work closely together. This unit is a final year unit that deploys knowledge and skills that students have developed in earlier units. Students should keep a copy of all assessment items that are submitted.

There is no final examination in this unit.
