How many assignments are there?
Each module has several assignments, some quizzes and one final written paper. Students must pass every assignment in order to pass the module.
Who marks my assignments?
Quiz assignments are marked automatically. Written assignments are marked by the module tutor, who will be either an internal or external Gafta expert.
How do I pass the assignments?
Each assignment is related to the content within the module. You must read each section carefully and apply your knowledge in order to pass.
What if I fail an assignment?
Quizzes: You will get 2 chances to pass each quiz assignment. At the end of your first attempt, you will see which questions you got wrong, so you have a chance to go back and re-read the relevant content before you attempt a second time. IF you fail the second time, you have failed the assignment and the module.
Written assignments: Your first submission will be marked by the tutor and feedback will be given on the platform. If you have passed, a 'pass' grade will be assigned. If you have failed, the tutor will give you some tips on what you have missed and you will get 1 chance to re-submit. IF you fail your resubmission, you have failed the assignment and the module.
Are there assignment deadlines?
Yes, all assignments must be completed by the deadlines given in your module instructions.
Can I get assignment extensions?
Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances, such as bereavement, illness etc. Students are expected to manage their own workload and balance it appropriately with their day-to-day responsibilities. An increased workload does not constitute exceptional circumstances.
Plagiarism
Any student who is found to have plagiarised their work will receive an automatic failing grade for that module. If an original piece of work is re-submitted within 48 hours, then this will be considered and marked by the course tutor. Students who repeatedly plagiarise their assignments may have their course access
revoked. No refunds will be issued in this case.
