GENERAL INFORMATION RELATING TO ASSESSMENT

The Cebu Normal University Student related policies and procedures manual describes the University policy and procedures relating to assessment. The Cebu Normal Universitys policy on assessment allows students to negotiate possible changes to assessment details. Should you believe that you are disadvantaged with respect to the assessment methods for this topic you should, in the first instance, contact the Topic coordinator.

Assessment grades
Students should refer to the Cebu Normal University Student related policies and procedures manual for detailed information on grading etc.

Policy on submission of late assignments

We have based the policy on a balance between issues of equity and recognition of the fact that many students have heavy workloads and need flexibility in their study programs. Assignments are to be submitted by the day indicated on the Statement of assessment methods forms for internal students and in the Assessment summary in the Topic information for external students.

Due date
The due date refers to the last day of submission of an assignment and is given to students when they receive details of the assignment.

Submission of assignments
Assignments must either be received in the College of Nursing on or before the due date or be postmarked on or before the due date.

Penalties
When assignments are not submitted by the due date and/or where a request for an extension is not received by the due date, at the discretion of the Topic coordinator, a penalty of 2% per calendar day may apply.

17

Students requiring extensions should contact either the Topic coordinator or the Administrative Officer (Academic) before the due date of the assignment. Request for extensions for seven or more calendar days will only be considered when accompanied by a medical certificate and/or other appropriate documentations that explain in full detailed reasons why request is made and includes a clear indication of when the assignment will be delivered.

Feedback to students on written work prior to submission of an assignment

In ordinary circumstances, staff will not accept draft versions of assignments for marking. Where individual students receive such feedback prior to submission of an assignment for marking, it can be seen to privilege those students above their fellows. It is recognized that the request for such feedback often stems from a students desire to produce high quality work. Students may discuss and clarify the assignment question and requirements with their tutor. However, in order to ensure all students are treated equally in terms of assessment, draft work will not be accepted by staff.

Topic specific submission policy

Topic coordinators will advise students of additional (topic specific) assessment and submission information and/or requirements. This advice must include:

Assessment criteria
Students must be advised of criteria to be met in order to satisfy topic requirements (for example, 50% overall, complete and satisfy in all assignment etc.).
