You are expected to read all assigned papers and submit at least one “review” per week. Each review must follow the provided review form [PDF] [Latex source]. Each “review” is worth 10% of your total mark and is marked out of 100 with 60 a passing grade. Marks will be awarded and penalties for late submission applied according to ACS Assessment Guidelines. No extra marks are available for submitting more than one review in any week, and it is likely only one submission will be marked.
In addition to the 70% of your total mark available for your “reviews”, 20% of your total mark is available for the quality of your presentation(s). The remaining 10% is available based on your active participation in class discussion during the course.
Submissions are via Moodle and are due by 11am on the Thursday prior to the class. We will do our best to get them marked and returned to as soon as possible. You may make submissions at any point before the relevant deadline.

Be sure to familiarise yourself with the University's rules on plagiarism – plagiarism is one sure way to attain a failing grade!
Finally, note that this module is exempted from the self-certified extension process as the cadence of review submissions and class sessions makes that impractical. Please contact us, as far in advance as possible, if you believe there is some insurmountable reason why you will miss one of the coursework submission deadlines or class sessions.
