Students will
be required to send their completed assignments to both the tutors
tsmb@mail.cryst.bbk.ac.uk and
the course administrator [Maureen
Austin] by email. This will be four times a year, in December, February,
April and July. Exact deadlines will be posted on the timetable and these will be followed by the
release of the course work answers by individual email after the final
deadline. However, students are strongly advised to complete their coursework
as soon as possible, after it is made available, and submit it then rather than
wait to send all of them in at the very last minute. It is usually better to submit part of the
coursework on time than to submit all of it late.

Work in on time
Work on time,
handed in on or before the correct submission deadline [http://tsmb08.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/course/index.html]
will be marked normally.
Work that is handed in late
Work that is
handed in after the correct submission deadline, but before the
final deadline which is two weeks after the inital
deadline, will be marked normally. Then two marks will be recorded, (a) the
penalty mark of 50% [or the actual mark if below 50%] and (b) the real mark
that would have been awarded if the work was not submitted late, but on
time. Only if you submit accepted
mitigating circumstances do you get a mark above 50% (see below).
Work that is
handed in after the final deadline, when model answers are published, it will
be awarded 0% . No mitigation will apply.
Work that is handed in late for good reason
