IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COURSEWORKS AND TUTORIALS
ASSIGNMENT STRUCTURE AND SUBMISSION
The module includes 10 formative assessments, 10 mock quizzes, and 2 courseworks.
Each formative assessment and each mock quiz correspond to the material covered in the corresponding week.
Each coursework counts 10% towards your module mark. There will be 2 such assessed courseworks, covering materials up to weeks 1-6 and weeks 8-10 with deadline in weeks 7, 11.
Coursework 1 will be a Quiz. You can attempt the quiz any
time during an entire week
If your attempt is still in progress at the deadline the answers you have filled in so far will be automatically submitted (whether or not you are actively working on the quiz-coursework). However, for your own reassurance, you are recommended to explicitly submit your attempt wherever possible. Note that if you start an attempt, or even just look at the questions, but are unable to finish due to Extenuating Circumstances (ECs) such as illness you must email maths@qmul.ac.uk (with cc to the lecturer) before the deadline; if you do not do this, your half-finished attempt will be automatically counted and any subsequent EC claim is likely to be rejected.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
You are encouraged to discuss the course material and lecture notes with other students. However, your coursework submission must be your own work. In particular, this means the following.
- You should do the quiz-coursework questions by yourself, from your own computer, and not share answers. It's OK to say to a friend "I think I need to understand the inclusion-exclusion principle, can you explain it to me?" but it's not OK to say "What is the answer to Question 2?".
TUTORIALS
The tutorials will take place every week starting
from week 1 with the exception of week 7 (reading week).
In the tutorials you will receive the training to complete your courseworks and you will receive general feedback on past courseworks. There will also be practice and exploratory questions whose solution you don't need to turn in, but which you should be ready to discuss in the tutorial. There will also be an opportunity to discuss general course-related queries.
FEEDBACK / MARKING
Feedback on courseworks
As soon as the quiz-coursework deadline has closed, you will be able to see whether your answers to the quiz were right and what your marks are. Finally, complete answers to each quiz-coursework will be posted on QMplus after all the tutorials have taken place.
