HFL1501 Assignment 4 Semester 1 2023

HFL1501 Assignment 4 Semester 1 20231. General HFL1501 assignment and examination information Assessment criteria It is essential that you are able to master all the learning outcomes for this module. These are provided in the Study Guide at the start of each learning unit. Assessment plan Please take note of the following regarding the calculation of your year mark for HFL1501, as well as your admission to the module’s take-home examination. To pass the module HFL1501, you must obtain at least 50% for your final mark. Your FINAL MARK for this module consists of your YEAR MARK (20%) and your EXAM MARK (80%). However, your year mark is only considered if you obtain a minimum of 40% in your exam. To be allowed to submit the HFL1501 exam, you must submit any ONE of the two assignments (either Assignment 1 OR Assignment 2). This means that you will be admitted to the examination if you submit one or both assignments before their respective due dates. If you submit no (zero) assignments, you will not be allowed to submit the HFL1501 examination, and you will have to reregister for and repeat the module at a later time. However, BOTH assignment marks will count towards the calculation of your year mark. If you submit only one assignment, this will seriously impact your year mark. How will this work in practice? • Your YEAR MARK counts 20% (Assignment 1 counts 10% and Assignment 2 counts 10%) of your final mark. • Your EXAMINATION MARK counts 80% of your final mark. The take-home question paper is for 80 marks. • Your FINAL MARK for the module will thus be calculated as follows: 20% (year mark) + 80% (examination mark) = 100% (final mark). Look at the following examples to better understand how this works in practice: • Lucy submits Assignment 1 and Assignment 2. She will be admitted to the takehome examination, regardless of her assignment results. Her assignment marks are 50% and 85% respectively. This means that her year mark is 68% (50% + 85% divided by 2). To calculate her final mark, her year mark of 68% will be converted to a mark out of 20, which will ultimately be added to her exam mark (which is out 3 of 80 marks) if she meets the 40% subminimum requirement for the exam. If Lucy gets a mark of 48/80 for the exam, her final mark will be 13.6 (which is 20% of her year mark) + 48 (exam mark) = 61.6 = 62% • Jane submits Assignment 2, but not Assignment 1. She will be admitted to the examination, regardless of her assignment results. She receives a mark of 50% for Assignment 2. Her year mark is 25% (0% + 50% divided by 2). If Jane also obtains 48/80 for the portfolio, her final mark will be 5 (which is 20% of her year mark) + 48 (exam mark) = 53% • Matt submits both Assignments 1 and 2 and receives very good results for both (80% and 90% respectively). His year mark is therefore 85% (80% + 90% divided by 2). However, Matt decides that his year mark is so good that he doesn’t need to prepare for the HFL1501 exam and that he will rather use the time to prepare for his other modules. He underestimates the HFL1501 exam and does very poorly, scoring only 36%. Because Matt has not met the 40% subminimum requirement for the exam, his year mark cannot be taken into account. His final mark is 36% and he fails the module. He has to reregister for HFL1501 again the next semester. • Susan does not submit Assignment 01 or Assignment 2 before the prescribed due dates. She is not allowed to sit for the HFL1501 exam and will have to reregister for the module at a later time. To summarise: If, for whatever reason, you are only able to submit one assignment, you will still be allowed to submit the HFL1501 examination. However, we strongly advise you to submit both assignments, as this gives you a better year mark and improves your chances of passing the module. Take note: You need to obtain at least 40% in the examination before your year mark will be considered. This means that if you obtain a mark of 39% or lower for the examination, your year mark will not count towards your final mark, even if your year mark is 95%! 4 Assessment numbers and due dates The module HFL1501 offers four assessment opportunities.
