Submit Assignments through MyLearningSpace.
You must adhere to our standards when submitting your assignments. You may use whatever tools you wish to create your assignments, but it is your responsibility to meet these standards:
login_a n.zip.
For example, if the user barn4520 submits Assignment 1, the
project name should be: barn4520_a1. Give your .zip file
the same name when exporting your project. Thus with the previous
example the .zip file must be named barn4520_a1.zip.
If there are problems with a assignment submission that would have been caught by the Validator, but you did not use it (or ignored the errors), we will not regrade the assignment.
Take the time to adhere to these standards. Don't wait until five minutes before the due date to try and make your program work on the WLU network, or to convert your text from Electric Pencil 5.2 to ASCII.
We strongly suggest you keep back up copies of your assignments on a network drive or memory stick. You are responsible for the back up of your course material.
After marking your assignments your marker posts your mark and comments on MyLearningSpace. Markers have two weeks after the assignment submission to return your marked assignment to you.
You may request a reassessment of your assignments by specifying the reasons for such request in writing. The assignment are completely reassessed and the reassessment may result in raising or lowering of your marks.
If you have problems, get help before the assignment is due.
Our markers spend a fair amount of time with students discussing assignment issues involving only one or two marks. Because the impact of the number of marks involved in these discussions is so insignificant, we would like to reduce this time. In order to do this we are adding a Benefit of the Doubt (BD) Mark to assignment marks. The way this mark works is this:
When your assignment is graded, this mark is added to the final assignment grade. If your assignment is regraded at your request, this mark is removed from the final assignment grade. Thus, it is not worth bringing your assignment to your marker's attention for only 1 or 2 marks as the final assignment grade is unchanged (or lowered!). The only exception is simple addition errors which corrected by your marker without affecting the BD mark.
