Hi,
I'm a student at RMIT in grad school, early childhood education, and had a large essay due at 11:59 pm yet submitted it exactly 24 hours later and believe I may have failed due to this or poor referencing and citing even though referencing is only worth 10%.
They may have made a rule saying marks deducted every business day, but what about if it is due at 11.59pm?
They (and the whole education faculty) don't specify what the late policy or mark deduction is but the rmit university as a whole has a clear Assessment and Assesment flexibility policy which may include that each day late results in 5 or 10% of the total mark and I have always believed every university has this policy.
I've been a student in many tertiary courses and it has always been this way. I'm also a LLB student with swin online and have failed assessments due to this reduction policy such as getting 2/10 on these assignments and would end up nailing the exams and passing overall whereas unfortunately the rmit education courses I'm in do not have final exams for me to get marks back on.
Can they be this strict? (I've also been a Vet Med and now law student which seem far more important than Education so im confused and sad to say I do not care if I was to get expelled or leave voluntarily as I have these other degrees and courses to fall back onto). Can rmit do this?
