Teaching Commons > Teaching Guides > Course Design > Attendance, Participation & Late Work Policies

​​​​Beyond completing the BlueStar Attendance/Participation survey early in the quarter, as an instructor you have wide latitude on what kinds of attendance, participation and late work policies to set for your classes. In some cases, specific policies are set by your department or program, so check with your department chair or program manager if you are unsure.

One important thing to keep in mind is how your attendance policy corresponds with your course's teaching modality . For example, if your course is listed as "Flex," which allows students to join your class on campus or via Zoom throughout the quarter, you cannot adopt an on-campus-only attendance policy. 

In a whitepaper for Macmillan Learning, which provides attendance tracking services to institutions, Bergin and Ferrara  argue that class attendance is an important early indicator of student success, particularly for non-traditional students. They cite a 2010 meta-analysis that found "class attendance is a better predictor of college grades than any other known predictor of academic performance."

However, some scholars have questioned the benefit of compulsory class attendance, arguing that the relationship between student attendance and performance is statistically significant, but with a weak effect size ( Buechele 2020 ) and does not control for other variables such as motivation ( St. Claire 1999 ). Buechele further argues that it is not attendance per se, but "in-class engagement" that explains the positive correlation. Indeed, active learning —which requires student engagement during class—has been extensively shown to positively impact student success ( Freeman et al., 2014 ). 

The takeaway is that students engaging cognitively and behaviorally with course content increases the likelihood of their success. Providing an incentive for students to attend your class can increase the likelihood of engagement, but only to the extent your class sessions engage them.

No matter what policy you set, you should be explicit about your expectations in your syllabus and early communications with your students.

Example Attendance Policy

Your attendance will be measured by your presence in our synchronous class sessions. After one absence, your final attendance grade will be marked down by [insert grade deduction] for each additional absence.

Much of our learning happens while working with peers, discussion, and participation in a community. These are learning experiences that are almost impossible to make up individually. If you have concerns about your ability to attend synchronous class sessions this quarter, please reach out to me via email to discuss your concerns.

How can I take attendance using Zoom or in a Zoom+/Trimodal Room?

If you want to take attendance in Zoom or in a Zoom+/Trimodal Room, there a few ways you might consider doing so:

• You can take attendance as you would in an on-campus class, by call-and-response.
• If you plan to rely on usage reports to take attendance, make sure students are using a name in Zoom that you'll be able to easily connect with their name in your class roster.

Although it's unlikely to be an issue in your course, it's possible for a student to log in with two devices and rename the other device as another student, thereby "cheating" this system. This may be more likely to occur if class attendance is worth a significant portion of students' grades.

• You can use proxies for taking attendance, like having students complete a survey, poll, or quiz during the class session. These measures can also be "defeated" by students sharing links to surveys, polls, or quizzes, so this method is not foolproof, either.

What is the absense notification service that the Dean of Students offers?

When a student has missed or fallen behind in class for a documented medical, mental health or personal emergency, the Dean of Students Office may notify faculty. Students must submit an absence notification/request for flexibility form along with supporting documentation. Learn more about Absence Notifications  from the Dean of Students.

Participation

Many instructors prefer to assign grades based on students' levels of participation in their class sessions. This strategy corresponds with research that indicates students' levels of engagement are greater predictors of success than just attendance in a physical or virtual room. Key questions to ask yourself are

• What does active participation look like in your teaching context? 
• How will you evaluate your students' participation? 
• What kinds of opportunities for participation will you provide?

In order to increase the likelihood of students' participation, be sure to establish a welcoming and inclusive environment with your students and incorporate active learning techniques . Use icebreakers to get people talking, and continue engaging students personally throughout the quarter.

Example Participation Policy

This is a class in which participation (in a variety of forms) is key to developing your skills and knowledge. Your participation during the synchronous sessions will also help us to build our classroom community. Your participation grade will be determined by your engagement with synchronous class discussions and activities, asynchronous discussion forums, responses to short written assignments, and completion of knowledge-check quizzes.

Your participation in synchronous class sessions will be evaluated based on quality. I will ask you to participate in a variety of forms, including raising your hand and contributing via speaking, posting responses to the Zoom chat, and adding content to Google Docs that will be available via our D2L course site.

You'll earn 1 point for each class session if you

• Contribute unique ideas and personal examples when prompted
• Build on previous comments and contributions
• Provide evidence and support for claims and ideas (especially evidence that is derived from our course texts and materials)
• Ask relevant questions that advance the discussion

All other participation grading guidelines are available as part of the individual activity and assignment instructions.

Like attendance, instructors can set their own policies for late work in the absence of specific criteria set by their college or program. And also like attendance, instructors have a wide range of opinions on late work. For some, deadlines are fixed and only an extreme circumstance such as health emergency, death in the family, etc. will satisfy the requirement for an extended deadline.

However, the ongoing public health emergency related to the novel coronavirus has highlighted how strict deadlines, no matter how well intentioned, can disproportionately impact the most at-risk students. Typically these are students who are working one or more jobs while attending school, raising children, caring for elders, or managing other obligations that limit their time for study and academic work.

Many instructors try to balance the need for establishing a course rhythm with weekly deadlines while also building in enough flexibility so that students are not unduly penalized for work that is late. Brenda Thomas, writing in Faculty Focus , notes how strict penalties for deadlines can inadvertently penalize strong work submitted late while rewarding mediocre work that is submitted on time. She has adopted a semi-flexible policy where late work can be submitted without penalty for five days, with the opportunity for revising and resubmitting, but beyond that late work is penalized at 5 percent each day it is late and precludes the possibility for revising/resubmitting.

Another option you may want to consider is simply reducing the severity of your late penalty based on the number of days an assignment is submitted after the deadline. For example, if you currently deduct one letter grade for each day an assignment is late, consider these alternatives:

• a deduction of one third of a letter grade per day overdue
• a very small deduction for the first day (e.g., the equivalent of one point out of 100) and a larger deduction (2 or 3 points for each day thereafter)

If you're concerned about potential grading bottlenecks due to many students submitting work long after the original deadline, you may want to set a limit on how long you'll accept late work. For instance, you might deduct a small number of points per day late but only accept work a maximum of five or seven days after the original due date.

(41) Where the University attaches conditions to an offer of admission, the conditions will be detailed in the letter of offer. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, providing certified documentation or other evidence of meeting admission requirements and/or meeting visa or other legal obligations.

(42) The University may make a packaged offer to an applicant, which is an offer of admission to two or more courses. Conditions attached to packaged offers are set out in the Admissions Procedures (Coursework) .

(43) Where the number of applicants who meet the admission requirements exceeds the number of places available in a course, the University may rank the applicants and offer places in order of selection rank.

(44) If an applicant wishes to accept an offer of admission they will do so in accordance with the process specified in the letter of offer. Failure to do so may result in the offer of admission being withdrawn.

(45) The University reserves the right to set expiry dates on offers.

(46) An applicant, who has received an offer of a place, may request to defer their offer for up to one (1) calendar year.

(47) Deferred entry is not available for all courses and applicants are advised to contact the Admissions Office for further information.

(48) Deferred entry is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the Delegated Authority.

(49) The University may, at its discretion, withdraw a deferred offer if the applicant fails to enrol in the deferred course by the enrolment date or fails to comply with any requirements prescribed by the University in relation to the deferment.

(50) An applicant taking up their deferred offer will be admitted under the current set of course rules and curricula, provided that the course has not been discontinued, in which case the applicant will be offered admission to a comparable course.

(51) The University may withdraw an offer of admission or refuse admission where the offer is made on the basis of incomplete, inaccurate, fraudulent or misleading information supplied by the applicant or by a certifying authority.

(52) The University reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission made in error.

(53) The University may refuse admission to an applicant, who otherwise meets the admission requirements for the selected course, on the following grounds:

• the applicant has previously been suspended or excluded from the University or any other tertiary institution for academic reasons, including but not limited to academic misconduct or unsatisfactory academic progress;
• the applicant has outstanding fees owing to the University;
• the applicant is unlikely to satisfy the Australian Government’s visa requirements; 
• the applicant fails to meet the inherent requirements specified for their selected course;
• where evidence from the applicant’s history as determined by the Director, Student Administration Services Division in consultation with the relevant Associate Dean, Education, makes them unsuitable to study the course for which they have applied on academic or non-academic grounds provided that the applicant is supplied with written notification of the reasons for refusal;
• the quota of places for a course or the diversity target for a course has been reached; or
• there are not appropriate and sufficient personnel, resources or number of applicants to enable the course to be offered.

(54) University staff responsible for making admission decisions and offers of admission are to disclose any personal relationships with an applicant in accordance with the Conflict of Interest Policy .

(55) Applicants may appeal the following decisions on the sole ground that there has been non-compliance with these Rules:

• assessment on whether an applicant satisfies the admission requirements of a course;
• withdrawal of an offer of admission pursuant to clause 51 to 52 (above); or
• refusal of admission pursuant to clause 53 (above).

(56) Further information on the lodgement of an appeal and how it will be reviewed and determined is set out in the Admissions Procedures (Coursework) .

(57) Students who have activated an offer will be deemed to be registered for a course, and will be required to enrol in subjects for their enrolment to be completed. Once enrolled, students will be then subject to all relevant rules, policies and other requirements.

(58) Some courses may only be available on a full-time or part-time basis, or in other modes of delivery as specified in the Course Handbook.

(59) Continuation of enrolment is contingent upon compliance with any approved conditions imposed at initial registration or thereafter.

(60) Except with approval by the delegated authority in exceptional circumstances, a student is subject to the course time limits set out in clauses 99 – 100 inclusive.

(61) During prescribed periods in each year, a student will enrol in a program in accordance with requirements of these Rules and pay any required charges.

(62) Except with approval by the delegated authority, a student will not be enrolled concurrently in more than one course of study. Where a domestic fee-paying student is approved to enrol in more than one course concurrently, the student must maintain an equivalent full-time enrolment in one of the courses of study in every session in which the student is active in order to maintain eligibility for Commonwealth income support for which they are otherwise eligible.

(63) Students enrolled under a Twinning, Joint or Dual award agreement between the University of Wollongong and another institution, or in any form of cross-institutional study, must follow the rules and policies with regard to their enrolment in that subject at the University of Wollongong or the other institution of study at which they are enrolled.

(64) International students on student visas are required to complete their course within the duration as registered for that course on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for International Students (CRICOS). The registered duration is determined as the time to complete the course under a standard full-time study load.

(65) International students can only exceed this duration as a result of:

• approved extension to their course duration on the basis of compassionate or compelling circumstances as evidenced by the student and approved by the delegated authority; or
• participation in an approved element of an intervention strategy activated for the student as outlined in the Course Progress Policy ; or
• an approved deferment, leave of absence or suspension of study.

(66) The duration of course completion for individual international students may be shortened as a result of credit transfer granted for prior study.

(67) It is the obligation of the International Student to ensure that they are enrolled in the equivalent of a full-time study load at all times, and where they become aware that they are under-enrolled, to seek academic advice.

(68) An International Student on a student visa fails to enrol in a full time study if they enrol in fewer subjects that constitute a full time load, or as a result of withdrawing from a subject or subjects. Where the University becomes aware that an International Student on a student visa has failed to enrol in a full time study load without academic approval to do so, (for example, through the activation of elements of an intervention strategy), the following will apply:

• The international student will be required to contact the Head of Students for the course-owning Faculty, and seek approval for a reduced study load;
• Where the student can demonstrate the existence of circumstances as outlined in clause 65.a (above), the University may approved a reduced study load and assist the student in processing an extension to their CoE, and supporting applications for an extended visa;
• In the absence of approval to undertake a reduced study load, as outlined in clause 68.a (above) the student will be required to demonstrate to their Course Progress Advisor how they intend to undertake additional study in order to complete their course of study within the expected duration. Should the student fail to demonstrate a viable plan to complete their course of study within the expected duration, the University will inform the student they are unable to complete their course and will take action to cancel their Confirmation of Enrolment.

(69) A student may have their enrolment cancelled as a consequence of failing to comply with University rules.

(70) Where a student is admitted to a course of study on the basis of documentation or information that is later discovered to be incomplete, inaccurate, fraudulent or misleading, the University may cancel the student’s enrolment.

(71) Where a student fails to meet the minimum rate of progress in a course they may be suspended or excluded from the University, as specified in the Course Progress Policy .

(72) Students may be excluded from the University for either academic or non-academic misconduct as specified in the Student Conduct Rules .

(73) A student may be suspended, excluded or expelled from the University where, following a risk assessment taking into consideration the student’s history and/or other circumstances, it is determined that the student’s continued registration in the course may cause a substantial risk to the health or safety of members of the University community.

(74) The student may be excluded from the course if the Executive Dean of the relevant course-owning faculty student determines the student is unsuitable to commence or continue in a mandatory placement or mandatory professional experience component of a course on the basis that:

• the student fails to perform satisfactorily in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of the course or for other specified reasons is subsequently assessed to be unlikely to perform satisfactorily in that practical placement or professional experience component and therefore has been deemed to be as unsuitable to continue in such placement program or professional experience component by the Academic Program Director;
• the student is required to complete a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course with an external agency, and the external agency has refused to permit that student access to their facilities for legitimate reasons; or
• for another specified reason, the student is assessed to be unlikely to perform satisfactorily in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course.

(75) The Academic Program Director for the course must first give the student notice in writing setting out the proposed reasons for assessing the student as unsuitable, and must give the student ten (10) working days from receipt of such notice in which to comment in writing to the Academic Program Director on the student’s suitability to commence or continue to participate in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course.

(76) Where the Academic Program Director, taking account of any comment received in writing from the student, forms the view a student is unsuitable to commence or continue to participate in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course for one or more of the reasons set out in clause 74 above, the Academic Program Director must refer all relevant information on the matter to the Faculty Executive Dean for a decision. The Executive Dean will consider this information and determine the matter and advise the student in writing of their decision within ten (10) working days after receiving the referral from the Academic Program Director.

(77) A student may appeal the decision of the Faculty Executive Dean using the process outlined for appeals against course exclusion in the Course Progress Policy , subject to the following variations:

• be lodged in writing with the Student Administration Services Division within 20 working days after receipt of notification of exclusion,
• a statement in response to the factors that contributed to the student being assessed as unsuitable to commence or continue in a mandatory placement or mandatory professional experience component of a course; and/or
• a statement detailing how those contributing factors will be managed in the future;
• provide any relevant documentary evidence to support the appeal, which may include but not be limited to medical certificates, statutory declarations, counselling reports, references, statements by academic teaching staff, and relevant correspondence.

(78) The student will not be excluded from the course until either the timeframes outlined in the policy for lodgement of an appeal have passed and the student has failed to lodge an appeal, or the appeal is determined and the exclusion is upheld.

(79) The Coursework Exclusion Appeals Committee only shall consider and determine the appeal as follows:

• appeal denied; or
• appeal upheld with a recommendation to the Vice-Chancellor and President or the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Student Life) to revoke the exclusion and reinstate the student’s enrolment without condition; or
• suspend the student for a specified period; or
• undertaking a prescribed learning support program;
• seeking language and learning support;
• seeking academic advice;
• seeking faculty-based learning support;
• referral to a Student Support Advisor; and/or
• referral to another appropriate support service.
• Any excluded student retains the right to appeal externally to the NSW Ombudsman .

(80) The period of suspension will comprise one or more sessions and the remainder of the session in which the suspension is applied. At the end of the period of suspension, the student may be re-enrolled in the course.

(81) The period of exclusion will comprise one or more years, and the remainder of the session in which the exclusion is applied. Students who are excluded must re-apply for admission directly to the University at the end of the exclusion period, and are required to declare this period of exclusion at the time of applying.

(82) After consultation with an Academic Adviser, a student may apply to the delegated authority for permission to change registration from one course to another, change location (campus) or change mode of delivery within a course.

(83) The delegated authority must not grant permission to change registration from one course to another unless satisfied that the student will be able to attain the course learning outcomes for the course to which registration is changed upon completion of the course.

(84) Permission for a student to change registration is contingent upon:

• the delegated authority being satisfied that the student will be able to meet the course learning outcomes for the course to which registration is changed upon completion of the course;
• the course to which registration is changed being a course currently on offer at the time of the proposed change of registration or being a suspended or discontinued course that is the only available exit pathway for the student;
• any restriction that may be imposed on the number of students to be registered for a particular course, location or mode of delivery; and
• satisfaction of any specific admission criteria for a particular course.

(85) The delegated authority may grant a student permission to declare a major study or minor study that is not available to a student registered for the course in which the student is registered at the time permission is sought or granted provided that:

• the delegated authority is satisfied that the student will be able to meet the course learning outcomes for the course as varied; and
• the major or minor study approved for variation is not suspended or discontinued at the time permission is sought or granted.

(86) Variation of enrolment associated with change of registration is contingent upon restrictions imposed by relevant provisions of clauses 58 – 62 inclusive and clauses 113 – 121 inclusive.

(87) Upon change of registration, a student becomes subject to rules relating to the course to which registration is changed and from the year in which the change occurs.

(88) A student for an honours Bachelor degree may apply to change candidature from full-time to part time or from part time to full-time prior to the census date for the current session of enrolment.

(89) Except with approval to the contrary from the delegated authority, restrictions imposed on enrolment or registration of a student prior to, or at the time of a change of registration, will continue to apply after change of registration.

(90) Permission for a student to enrol in a subject is contingent upon restrictions imposed by relevant provisions of clauses 58 – 62 inclusive and clauses 101 – 111 inclusive and the deadlines for enrolment as specified below.

(91) Where a commencing student enrols late under clause 101, they may be required to meet with a Head of Students. Where the Head of Students determines that the student is at risk of not achieving satisfactory course progress, the University may activate elements of an intervention strategy for the student.

(92) A student enrolled in a Coursework degree:

• becomes eligible for leave of absence at the beginning of the second session of enrolment;
• may take leave of absence for up to one year provided that they provide written notification to the University before Census date of the session for which leave is sought; and
• must gain approval of the delegated authority if seeking an extension to their current leave of absence, or for a period beyond one year.

(93) Where a student submits a request for a Leave of Absence after the deadline outlined in clause 92 (above), will be subject to the deadlines contained in the withdraw from subjects clauses 112 – 120. Academic penalties may be applied, and financial penalties will apply for the subjects studied as per the UOW Fees Policy .

(94) In addition to clauses 92 – 93 leave of absence requests from international students on student visas must gain approval of the deleted authority and will only be granted under the following specific circumstances:

• compassionate or compelling grounds as evidenced by the student and approved by the delegated authority; or
• administrative grounds for example where the University is unable to offer a pre-requisite unit; or
• participation in an approved element of an intervention strategy activated for the student as outlined in the Course Progress Policy .

(95) Where an international student on a student visa is granted leave of absence as specified in clause 94 (above) and this leads to an extension to the duration of the student's course of study a new Confirmation of Enrolment must be provided to reflect the extended period.

(96) Where it is deemed appropriate by the relevant delegated authority, a student may be granted a retrospective leave of absence for a session that is already complete where they are able to prove the existence of compassionate or compelling circumstances

(97) A student enrolled in an end-on honours Bachelor degree as listed in Appendix 1 may be granted leave of absence for up to one year provided:

• that the student has the written consent of his/her supervisor; and
• that written application is made to the delegated authority before the last day to enrol with academic permission of the first session for which leave is sought.

(98) Students who take leave of absence from their course for more than one year should note that the course rules and conditions under which they originally enrolled may change during their period on leave and that they may be subject to the rules and conditions as they apply at the time that they return to their course.

(99) The maximum time limit for completion of courses applies, as outlined in clause 100, except when approved by the delegated authority to the contrary in exceptional circumstances. Periods of approved leave of absence are not included as part of the total course duration for the purpose of 100. International students on student visas have specific requirements as detailed in clauses 64 – 68 inclusive.

(100) Students enrolled in Undergraduate courses and Postgraduate Coursework courses may be registered for a maximum period of three times the duration for completion of the course under a standard full time load, as outlined in the Undergraduate Student Handbook and Postgraduate Student Handbook.

(101) A student must enrol in a subject through Student OnLine Services (SOLS) before:

• the end of the second week of the session for a standard session; or
• as specified in the Key dates for a non-standard session.

(102) After the dates stated in clause 101 (above) has passed, under compassionate or compelling circumstances, a student may enrol in a subject with academic approval from the delegated authority before the end of the third week of the session for a standard session or as specified in the Key dates  for a non-standard session.

(103) Where a commencing student enrols late under clause 101, they may be required to meet with a Head of Students. Where the Head of Students determines that the student is at risk of not achieving satisfactory course progress, the University may activate elements of an intervention strategy for the student as outlined in the Course Progress Policy .

(104) Enrolment requests made after the census date for the current session of enrolment will only be approved if due to administrative error and require approval from the delegated authority in consultation with the relevant Faculty.

(105) The provisions for cross counting are that:

• Unless otherwise authorised by the relevant delegated authority, students will follow the prescribed course structure in which they are enrolled, as outlined in the Course Handbook for the year in which they commenced the course. Where a subject listed in that year’s course structure is no longer available, alternative arrangements must be discussed and approved by the delegated authority. Any variation to the prescribed course structure will only be authorised where the delegated authority is satisfied that the student will meet or has met the course learning outcomes for the course as varied.
• more than one major study or specialisation; or
• more than one minor study; or
• a major study and a minor study; or
• a major, specialisation, or minor, and core degree requirements for the same course.
• the course rules for a course expressly restrict or allow the cross counting of subjects for any purpose as outlined in Course Handbook;
• academic approval for the cross counting of more than one subject is obtained from the delegated authority.

(106) A student may enrol in a subject provided that:

• the conditions for enrolment specified for that subject are satisfied, save that a prerequisite or co-requisite requirement may be waived by the delegated authority;
• the student is not prevented from enrolling by any restriction that may be imposed on the number of students to be enrolled in that subject;
• the subject is available in the nominated session or sessions;
• the student is not suspended, excluded or expelled from any tertiary institution;
• there has been no determination by the delegated authority that there are inappropriate and insufficient personnel and resources to enable the student to undertake the subject; and
• enrolment is not restricted to students in a specific course, location (campus) or mode of delivery. This may be waived by the delegated authority.

(107) Except with the approval by the delegated authority, a student will not be permitted to enrol in a program which exceeds more than one third above the standard full-time load for that session. This means no more than:

• 32 credit points for a standard session;
• 64 credit points for an annual load; or
• the maximum load specified by the delegated authority for all other sessions.

(108) For the purposes of clause 107 (above), where a student is enrolled in multiple overlapping sessions, the load will be distributed on a pro-rata basis.

(109) A student enrolled in a subject in contravention of the conditions for enrolment specified in the Course Handbook or subject requirements will be withdrawn from that subject unless permitted by the delegated authority to remain enrolled.

(110) A student who, in a particular year, is not permitted to enrol in a subject pursuant to these Rules may apply for permission to enrol in the subject in a subsequent year.

(111) A student who is refused continuation of registration, through suspension or exclusion may not enrol in any subject.

(112) Subject to clause 114, a student may withdraw from a subject provided such withdrawal is made no later than the deadlines for withdrawal as specified below. A student who withdraws from all subjects in a session without obtaining an approved leave of absence, as per clause 92 – 98 inclusive, may have their enrolment lapsed. Once enrolment has lapsed, the student must re-apply for admission.

(113) A student may not withdraw from a subject with or without penalty if it is a subject in respect of which they are being investigated for academic misconduct unless the investigation (and any subsequent appeal process) has been finalised and there is no finding of academic misconduct made against the student. Any purported variation to the student’s enrolment in these circumstances will be of no effect.

(114) Subject to clause 112, a student enrolled in a coursework subject may withdraw from a subject without academic penalty and without the subject appearing on the official academic transcript if they withdraw:

• before the end of the ninth week of session for subjects in a standard session; or
• before the last day to withdraw without academic penalty, as specified in the Key dates for subjects in a non-standard session.

(115) Where a student seeks to withdraw from a subject between the last date to withdraw without academic penalty as outlined in clause 114 (above) and ten working days after the declaration of the individual student’s final grade for the subject or subjects, the following rules will apply:

• An application to withdraw from a subject or subjects must be made on the appropriate form for consideration by the delegated authority;
• The student must demonstrate the existence of compassionate or compelling circumstances that impacted the student’s ability to undertake their studies for a significant proportion of the session in question;
• The student must demonstrate the existence of reasons why the student did not seek to withdraw from a subject or subjects until after their results have been declared;
• Where withdrawal is not being sought for all of the subjects in which the student was enrolled for the period in question, the student must be able to demonstrate the reasons why the circumstances did not impact on all of the subjects in which they were enrolled; and
• The delegated authority must deem that the circumstances had enough of an impact on the student’s ability to study for a significant enough period of the session in question to warrant withdrawing the student from the subject or subjects.

(116) After the deadline outlined in clause 115, a student may only be withdrawn from a subject if they fulfil the requirements of Schedule 3 Clause 5 of the Delegations of Authority Policy .

(117) If an application for withdrawal from a subject without academic penalty is approved, the student will be deemed to have withdrawn from the subject without academic penalty for the purposes of Course Progress Policy and the subject will be recorded as “Approved withdrawal” on the enrolment record and the subject will not appear on the academic transcript.

(118) If an application for withdrawal from a subject without academic penalty is not approved, the enrolment will stand and a grade will be declared for that subject. The student may appeal the grade received in accordance with the Review and Appeal of Academic Decisions Policy .

(119) Where:

• a student can demonstrate the existence of an enrolment error; or
• the delegated authority so authorises on the basis that the delegated authority determines that there are exceptional circumstances;

(120) the student or a cohort of students may be withdrawn from a subject following the release of results without application. For the purposes of the Course Progress Policy , if a student is affected by an authorisation under clause 119(b), the student’s course status will be determined based on student’s grade prior to their withdrawal without academic penalty. Following the student’s withdrawal, the subject will be recorded as either “Approved withdrawal” or “Withdrawn late with approval” on the student’s enrolment record and the subject will not appear on the student’s academic transcript.

(121) There are four circumstances under which a student may apply to a delegated authority to have their Academic Record amended once results for a subject have been released, as follows:

• there has been an enrolment error (as determined under clause 123);
• a student has successfully applied under the Review and Appeal of Academic Decisions Policy to have a mark or grade altered; or
• a student has either applied for academic consideration under the Student Academic Consideration Policy ;
• a student has been granted a withdrawal under clauses 112 – 120.

(122) No amendment can be made to an academic record after the student’s course has been conferred.

(123) A student may apply to have their academic record amended where the student has either:

• not attempted a subject for which they were formally enrolled as a result of an enrolment error; or
• attempted a subject for which they were not formally enrolled as a result of an enrolment error and need to be enrolled to have a grade declared.

(124) Applications under clause 123 must be made on the appropriate form, which must:

• include appropriate details to support the application; and
• be lodged on the appropriate form no later than ten days after the declaration of the individual student’s results for a subject

(125) Under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 , domestic students are not eligible for Commonwealth support or assistance for subjects enrolled after the census date if the reason for late enrolment is student error. In these cases Commonwealth supported students will only be able to enrol in subjects on a full fee paying basis. For courses where there are no full fee paying places offered, students will be required to enrol on a non-award basis and pay the non-award fees upfront. Non-Commonwealth supported (full fee paying) students will be required to pay the relevant tuition fees upfront.

(126) All awards of the University are conferred in accordance with the University’s Conferrals and Issuance Policy .

(127) A course award may be conferred upon a student who has complied with relevant parts of these Rules, is not indebted to the University, and has met the requirements for the course as specified in the Course Handbook, or as varied by the delegated authority under clause 105.a. A student enrolled in a double degree course does not meet the requirements for the course unless the requirements for both strands of the double degree course (as varied) are met.

(128) Applications to have an award conferred must be made on the appropriate form and by the due date for each session. It is the responsibility of the student to lodge an application to graduate in order to have their award formally conferred. Failure to do so will result in the student being unable to receive their official documentation or attend a graduation ceremony.

(129) In the event of the death of a student or of a student becoming permanently incapacitated and discontinuing study :

• if in either case the student has completed the requirements of either the course they are enrolled in or an award at a lower level, as specified in clause 127, the Vice-Chancellor and President may confer the award on the student; or
• if in either case the student has completed a substantial proportion of the course requirements for either the course they are enrolled in or an award at a lower level, Vice-Chancellor and President may confer an award for either the enrolled course or for an award at a lower level, on the recommendation of the relevant Faculty Executive Dean and with an endorsement from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Student Life).

(130) Recommendations to the Vice-Chancellor and President under clause 129 (above) would normally be made within two years of the student’s last enrolment and must be supported by relevant documentation.

(131) Undergraduate subjects listed on the General Elective Schedule are open for enrolment by any undergraduate student.

(132) This is subject to the structure and requirements of the undergraduate courses. Courses may prescribe content by reference to a general schedule of elective subjects as part of course requirements.

(133) The approval process for a general schedule of elective subjects is provided for in the Course and Subject Approval Procedures (Faculty Delegated Course and Subject Amendments) .

(134) In addition to requirements set out in the Course Rules, students must satisfy the relevant requirements listed below:

(135) Requirements for StartSmart are detailed on the ‘How uni works’ webpage and are accessible via the ‘Get Started’ module for current students .

(136) Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coursework students must complete StartSmart in their first session of study.

(137) Students who fail to complete StartSmart will have their results withheld.

(138) Requirements for CareerSmart are detailed on the ‘How uni works’ webpage and are accessible via the ‘Get Started’ module for current students.

(139) Undergraduate students must complete CareerSmart in their first session of study.

(140) Students who fail to complete CareerSmart will have their results withheld.

(141) Requirements for Consent Matters are detailed on the ‘How uni works’ webpage and are accessible via the ‘Get Started’ module for current students.

(142) Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coursework students studying in Australia must complete Consent Matters in their first session of study.

(143) Students who fail to complete Consent Matters will have their results withheld.

(144) In course of study where a zero credit point professional experience subject is a course requirement, students must complete the subject before their course can be conferred.

(145) Where a student remains enrolled in the subject over multiple sessions, the student’s record for the subject will have a grade of IPC (in progress coursework) recorded until the subject is completed.

Assessment Task requirements

(146) All students are required to complete assessment tasks in line with the requirements of the Teaching and Assessment: Assessment and Feedback Policy and the Examination Rules .

(147) Coursework and Honours students must meet any mandatory minimum attendance requirements, as set out in the relevant Subject Outline and/or Honours Guide. Failure by a student to comply with mandatory minimum attendance requirements may constitute grounds for the award of a grade of Technical Fail (TF) in that subject.

Determination and Declaration of Results

(148) A mark and an approved grade of performance will be determined and declared for each subject in which a student is enrolled in accordance with the Standards for the Finalisation of Student Results and the Teaching and Assessment: Assessment and Feedback Policy . The responsibilities of the Faculty Assessment Committee and the Academic Unit Assessment Committee in these processes are set out in the Standards for the Finalisation of Student Results.

Release of Results

(149) After results are declared in each subject, the results will be released by the Director, Student Administration Services Division in a form and at a time determined by the Director, Student Administration Services Division. Students access their results via their enrolment record on Student OnLine Services (SOLS) on and from the day of release of results. No information concerning results will be given by telephone.

(150) The approved grades of performance and associated ranges of marks for 100, 200, 300, 400, 800 and 900 level subjects are as follows:

(151) For approved undergraduate and postgraduate coursework subjects, performance will be determined as:

(152) The delegated authority may, in exceptional circumstances as determined by the delegated authority, authorise the substitution of the grades of performance specified in clause 150 (above) with those specified in clause 151 (above), with respect to a subject, a student or cohort of students, and subject to any condition or conditions specified in the authorisation.

(153) In addition to the determination of performance in clause 150 (above), subjects from Graduate Medicine that are completed with a high standard of performance may be awarded the grade of Excellent instead of Satisfactory. 

(154) Students must not have a blank declaration of results. An interim grade must be given when a grade of performance for a subject has not been declared at the release of results. Interim grades may be given as follows:

• for investigative grounds; any formal investigation carried out by a person or committee authorised to conduct the investigation under University Rules or policy; or
• due to unavoidable delays in marking an assessment task and/or finalising a grade.
• WS (withheld supplementary): due to a supplementary assessment or supplementary examination being offered.
• WD (withheld deferred): due to a deferred assessment or deferred examination being provided in response to a successful academic consideration application.
• IPC (in progress coursework): where a subject spans session dates (for example any subject lasting two sessions or longer), or under the conditions outlined in clause 157 (below).
• ND (not declared): generated by the student system when a grade of performance or other interim grade has not been declared at the release of results.

(155) With the exception of IPC grades, where an interim grade (outlined above) is given, a grade of performance for the subject must be declared within ten weeks after the release of results date. Failure to declare an interim grade within ten weeks after the release of results will result in a mark of zero and grade of Fail, or an Unsatisfactory grade for subjects with a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading scheme, being applied. Failure to declare an IPC grade within one year of the release of results will result in a mark of zero and grade of Fail, or an Unsatisfactory grade for subjects with a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading scheme, being applied.

(156) Where a WH or ND grade is given, it is the student’s responsibility to take the appropriate action relative to the interim grade given.

(157) Where a subject does not span session dates but requires the use of the IPC grade, an IPC grade may be given under the following conditions:

• the subject is a professional placement or professional experience subject with a requirement that a minimum number of placement hours be undertaken during the session, as specified in the subject outline;
• for students who have, for whatever reason, been unable to complete all of the placement hours during the required session, the period during which a student can complete the placement exceeds the ten week period following the release of results as outlined in clause 154; and
• the use of the IPC grade for the subject due to professional placement or professional experience is approved by the delegated authority.

(158) Where a subject is required to be undertaken over more than one session, a grade will be declared at the end of each session prior to the final session as IPC (in progress coursework).

(159) When the subject has been completed a grade of performance, as per clauses 150 – 153 (above) inclusive, will be declared for the final session of enrolment. All previous session enrolments may be declared as CO (Complete) for the purpose of counting the total credit points for the subject.

(160) If a student is deemed to be making unsatisfactory progress during a multi session subject and is not permitted to continue their enrolment in the subject, a grade of U (Unsatisfactory) will be applied to the current session of enrolment.

(161) If a student withdraws from a multi session subject a grade of U (Unsatisfactory) may be declared if appropriate to indicate that the student has ceased the subject before completion.

(162) A student who is awarded a mark of 49 or less, or is awarded a grade of TF in an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework subject, may be offered a supplementary assessment in accordance with the requirements of the Supplementary Assessment Procedure .

(163) The following provisions apply to the mark and/or grade a student receives as a result of undertaking a supplementary assessment:

• where a student achieves a composite mark of 50 or more for the subject, the student will receive a mark of 50 for the subject and a grade of Pass-Supplementary (PS);
• where a student achieves a composite mark of less than 50 for the subject, the student will receive their original mark and a grade of Fail; and
• where a student gains a composite mark of 50 or more for the subject but does not meet a specified level in the supplementary assessment task required to pass the subject, the student will receive a Technical Fail and the provisions of clause 164 (below) will apply.

(164) Where a student gains a mark of 50 or greater and does not meet a specified level in one or more assessment tasks required to pass the subject, a Technical Fail grade will be used. Where a Technical Fail is given the following applies:

• the student has failed the subject;
• TF (Technical Fail) without a mark will be granted;
• a TF will be presented on the student’s academic transcript; and
• the allocated mark of 49 will be used as the weighted average mark calculation for subjects at all levels.

(165) Where a subject has a minimum performance level required for either the subject, and/or for specific assessment tasks or attendance that are part of the subject, this must be included in the Subject Outline with the statement that students who do not meet the minimum performance requirements as set out in the Subject Outline will be given a TF grade on their academic transcript.

(166) A student’s Average Mark will be determined at a course level using the calculation as follows:

(167) A student’s Weighted Average Mark will be determined using the calculation as follows:

(168) Summation in the numerator and denominator includes:

• all subjects attempted while registered for the course they are completing
• credit for subjects completed at UOW (previously known as advanced standing).

(169) Subjects which are graded Satisfactory (S), Unsatisfactory (U) or Excellent (E) are not to be included in the calculations.

(170) A student must be enrolled in one of the following courses to be considered for an award “with Distinction”:

• a pass Bachelor degree; or
• a Masters by Coursework degree.

(173) An undergraduate student, including a student enrolled in a program delivered in conjunction with an approved partner institution, must have completed at least 50% of the credit points for their degree in a University of Wollongong accredited course.

(174) A postgraduate student, including a student enrolled in a program delivered in conjunction with an approved partner institution, must have completed at least 66% of the credit points for their degree in a University of Wollongong accredited course.

(175) Students enrolled in a double degree will be assessed for eligibility for the award “with Distinction” for each degree separately.

(176) A degree containing more than 50% of credit points that are graded at the level of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory will not be eligible for the award “with Distinction”.

(177) To be eligible for the award ‘with Distinction’, at least 50% of the credit points counted towards the award must be graded in accordance with clause 150. Where credit (specified or unspecified) is granted, but no grade is recorded against a subject for which the credit is granted, this will not be not be counted towards the calculation for an award ‘with Distinction’.

(178) Except as provided in clause 179 (below), every attempt at a subject in the course is to be included in the determination in clause 171 (above).

(179) Subjects which are graded Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U) under clause 151 (above) are not to be included in the determination in clause 171 (above).

(180) The methods to be adopted for determining Honours grades are outlined in the Honours Policy .

(181) The University reserves the right to retain, at its discretion, the original or one copy of any work submitted for assessment in a course, competition or a subject (other than a research subject) offered or conducted by the University.

1. Academic Information & Policies

1.21 use of course work & materials.

HBS has specific rules that govern the ways in which students may share their knowledge and work products and materials with other students and audiences outside of HBS. The following policies outline these rules and provide students with information on how faculty may use their work.

Publication or Sale of Course Work

Both during and after their time at HBS, students are not permitted to sell or publish case analyses and classroom notes. However, with prior approval from the Division of Research and Faculty Development and the related faculty sponsor, students may publish other course-related reports or papers prepared while at HBS. Prior to publishing reports or papers involving fieldwork at a company site, students must obtain an authorized release of company information and follow HBS policies to protect the intellectual property rights of others. For more information, students should contact the Division of Research and Faculty Development ( [email protected] ).

Guidelines for Properly Using HBS Course Materials

To protect authors’ rights, copyright interests, and the confidentiality of certain information, students must obtain advance clearance from HBS Publishing to make course materials available to individuals or organizations. This rule applies to both printed and electronic course materials. Reproducing copyrighted materials without express permission violates copyright law.

Faculty Guidelines for Properly Using Student Work for Teaching

Immediately following exams, faculty in some courses will place unattributed “sample answers” on reserve in Baker Library for a brief period for student reference and review. Students may request not to have their exams used in this way by contacting faculty members before or immediately after the exam. On occasion, a faculty member may wish to have HBS publish a student report or paper for use in one of the school’s regular teaching programs. The faculty member must first receive permission from the student and consult with the Division of Research and Faculty Development before using this material.

Your Guide to Conquering College Coursework

Getting good grades in college can be a lot tougher than in high school. For many students, it requires building new skills and establishing new habits. Learning those skills now—before starting college—will help make your transition as easy and as successful as possible.

Mary Sharp Emerson

The transition from high school to college is a big one. Meeting new friends, living on your own, and creating your own schedule are just some of the new, exciting challenges that await you.   

In the excitement of starting a new life on campus, college coursework can sometimes become a second priority.

However, adjusting to college coursework is often the biggest challenge of all. Even the best students may be surprised at how difficult college courses are. The subject matter is more complex. The workload is larger. And instructors’ standards are higher.

Mastering college-level courses requires a new level of independence, advocacy, engagement, and time management.

You can prepare yourself to succeed before you even get to campus. Identifying the skills you need, and building those skills into established habits, will help make your transition to college academics, and college life, easier, less stressful, and more successful.

Be engaged in your college coursework

College courses require your full attention and active participation.

And the more you engage with your teachers, teaching assistants, and classmates both in and out of the classroom, the easier it will be for you to succeed in that class.

The importance of active listening

Active listening is one of the most critical parts of engaging in a course, according to Gina Neugebauer, assistant director of Harvard Summer School’s Secondary School Program.

“Professors and teaching assistants can tell if you’re actively listening. They notice if you’re taking notes and making eye contact. They also notice if you’re distracted by your phone or computer,” notes Neugebauer.

Active listening means not checking your social media accounts or texting friends during class.

It also means really giving the instructor and your classmates your full attention.

It sounds easy in theory but it takes practice. It can be tough to not think about all the work you have or your next party. But the more you work on actively listening, the easier it will be to not get distracted and miss important information in class.

Different ways to actively participate

Beyond active listening, there are many ways to participate in a course. And you can tailor your level of engagement to your personality and comfort level.

“It’s all about gauging what you’re comfortable with,” says Neugebauer.

“You may not be the person who raises their hand all the time but you actively respond to online discussion posts, for example. You may not feel comfortable talking in front of hundreds of students in a large lecture hall but you take advantage of TA office hours and email the instructor with questions.”

But don’t be afraid to push yourself if you aren’t someone who usually speaks up in class.

It’s ok to start small. Work on raising your hand in small seminars or discussion sections. As you gain confidence, you’ll find it gets easier to answer questions and share your opinions.

Build independence and advocate for yourself

In college, you are responsible for your own success. You will need to advocate for yourself and know when—and how—to ask for help. That requires a level of independence that you may not have needed in high school.

The good news is that instructors and teaching assistants want to help you.

“Instructors, on the whole, enjoy hearing from you. And they’d rather hear from you right from the start, rather than have you struggle on your own for three weeks,” says Neugebauer.

If you have a question about an assignment, send your instructor an email. Are you upset about a grade you got on a recent test? Visit your instructor or TA during office hours to discuss what went wrong and how you can improve.

But remember, says Neugebauer, professors are busy and you are only one of many students.

“Your email should include your full name, what course you’re taking, and a brief description of your question or concern. And you cannot expect an answer at 2 a.m. because that’s when you’re studying. When you reach out to an instructor, give them 24-48 hours to respond.”

And remember, always be respectful and non-confrontational.

Challenge yourself in a college course. Get a sneak peak at college life.

Don’t be afraid to seek help

If you have excelled in high school without extra help, you might be tempted to persevere on your own.

In college, Neugebauer points out, asking for help is the norm.

“Once you get into your undergraduate program, you’ll find that almost everyone has, at some point, asked a TA for extra tutoring, gone to a tutoring center, or a writing or math center for extra help. It’s part of the learning process of an undergraduate program,” Neugebauer says.

Colleges have a variety of support systems in place to help you succeed.

TA office hours are a great place to start if you find yourself struggling with a specific concept or assignment. Peer tutoring programs enable you to learn from students who have been through the course themselves. Academic coaches can help with more general study tips or exam-related stress.

The key is seeking out help proactively, before you get too far behind. As the courses become more difficult, catching up becomes increasingly difficult.

Build time management techniques

Balancing everything that comes with life on a college campus can be difficult for many incoming college students.

“The biggest challenge we see facing high school students who are trying to adapt to college life is overcommitment. Students want to engage in every activity, a full course load, and even sometimes a part-time job. They don’t schedule enough time for self-care, quiet time, doing laundry, and plenty of study time. All those things take time,” Neugebauer says.

Good study habits and time management are key to avoiding the stress that comes from getting overcommitted.

Neugebauer recommends getting into the habit of keeping an accurate and up-to-date calendar.

“The best thing I can recommend is a calendar, such as Google Calendar. Use it to schedule everything: your class, your lunch time, time at the gym. It may seem counterintuitive, but work on scheduling literally everything, even sleep.”

Be sure to include assignments, tests, and other deadlines, as well as office hours for your instructors, TAs, and academic coaches.

Use your calendar to block off dedicated study time. And once you schedule it, stick to it! Avoid the temptation to procrastinate or use that time to hang out, play video games, or scroll on your phone.

Your calendar should also include dedicated time for self-care.

Regular mealtimes, good exercise habits, and a full night’s sleep are not only critical for your physical and mental health. You’ll also be surprised at how much they contribute to your academic success.

Challenge yourself as you engage in college coursework

Getting outside your comfort zone is a critical part of preparing yourself for the exciting challenges that await you in college.

“Being uncomfortable allows for growth. It means saying to yourself, ‘this is new. I want to try it. I want to see how it feels.’ This is all about adapting to a new environment but also examining yourself as a person,” says Neugebauer.

Taking on a new challenge—regardless of the ultimate outcome—builds resilience, mental toughness, and confidence, all of which you will need to succeed in your college courses.

But, warns Neugebauer, it’s also important to know your limitations.

“That uncomfortable feeling should be manageable. It should be a challenge but not so challenging that you feel panicked and wake up in cold sweats every night. It should be something that gets you a little nervous but also excited about what you’re involved in every day.”

However you decide to challenge yourself, it’s never too early to start if college is in your future. The sooner you start identifying and mastering the skills you need in college, the better prepared you’ll be to succeed right from day one.

Course vs Coursework: Meaning And Differences

When it comes to education, the terms “course” and “coursework” are often used interchangeably. However, they have distinct meanings and it’s important to understand the difference between the two.

We should clarify that both words are proper and can be used appropriately depending on the context.

A course refers to a series of lessons or lectures on a particular subject, often leading to a qualification or certification. It can be taken in person or online and may include assignments, exams, or projects to assess learning.

On the other hand, coursework typically refers to the specific assignments, projects, or essays that are completed as part of a course. It is the practical work that students must complete in addition to attending lectures or lessons.

Understanding the difference between these two terms is essential for anyone pursuing education or looking to communicate effectively about their academic experiences.

In the following sections, we will explore the nuances between courses and coursework, including how they differ in terms of structure, purpose, and assessment.

Define Course

A course is a unit of study offered by an educational institution that typically lasts for a specific period of time and leads to the attainment of a degree, diploma, or certificate. It is a structured program of learning that covers a particular subject or topic and is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to succeed in their chosen field.

Courses can be offered in a variety of formats, including online, in-person, or hybrid models. They can range in length from a few weeks to several months or even years, depending on the level of study and the requirements of the program. Courses can also be categorized into different levels, such as introductory, intermediate, or advanced, depending on the complexity of the subject matter.

Define Coursework

Coursework refers to the assignments, projects, and assessments that students are required to complete as part of a course. It is the practical application of the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom and is designed to assess a student’s understanding of the subject matter.

Coursework can take many forms, including essays, reports, presentations, exams, and practical tasks. It is typically graded and contributes to a student’s overall grade or GPA. Coursework can also be used to develop a student’s research, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, as well as their ability to work independently or as part of a team.

Coursework can be completed individually or in groups, and can be submitted in various formats, such as hard copy, online, or through a learning management system. It is an integral part of the learning process and is designed to help students apply what they have learned in a practical and meaningful way.

How To Properly Use The Words In A Sentence

Proper usage of words is essential in any form of writing, especially when it comes to academic writing. In this section, we will discuss how to use the words “course” and “coursework” correctly in a sentence.

How To Use “Course” In A Sentence

The word “course” has multiple meanings, but when used in the context of education, it refers to a series of lessons or lectures on a particular subject. Here are some examples of how to use “course” correctly:

• I am taking a course in biology this semester.
• The course on Shakespearean literature was very challenging.
• She completed her course on web design with flying colors.

As seen in the examples above, “course” is used to refer to a specific class or subject of study. It is important to note that “course” can also refer to a path or direction, such as in the following sentence:

• The hurricane changed course and headed towards the east coast.

How To Use “Coursework” In A Sentence

The word “coursework” refers to the assignments and tasks that students are required to complete as part of a course. Here are some examples of how to use “coursework” correctly:

• The professor assigned a lot of coursework for the semester.
• She spent all weekend working on her coursework for the marketing class.
• His coursework in physics included several lab reports and a research paper.

As seen in the examples above, “coursework” is used to refer to the various assignments and tasks that are part of a course. It is important to note that “coursework” is a non-count noun, meaning that it cannot be pluralized.

More Examples Of Course & Coursework Used In Sentences

In order to fully understand the difference between course and coursework, it is important to see how they are used in context. Here are some examples of how both words can be used in a sentence:

Examples Of Using Course In A Sentence

• She is currently taking a course on digital marketing.
• The golf course was in pristine condition for the tournament.
• He had to drop out of the course due to scheduling conflicts.
• The university offers a wide range of courses in various subjects.
• After completing the course, she received a certificate of completion.
• The new employee had to go through a training course before starting work.
• The history course was taught by a renowned professor.
• The online course was accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
• The course material was challenging but informative.
• He decided to audit the course instead of receiving a grade.

Examples Of Using Coursework In A Sentence

• Her coursework in college focused on environmental science.
• The final grade for the class was based on coursework and a final exam.
• He spent hours each night working on his coursework for the MBA program.
• The coursework included a research project and a group presentation.

• He was able to transfer some of his previous coursework to the new university.
• The coursework was designed to be completed over a 12-week period.
• She received a high grade on her coursework for the architecture class.
• The coursework for the nursing program included both classroom and clinical components.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

When it comes to using the terms course and coursework, many people make the mistake of using them interchangeably. However, these two words have distinct meanings and should not be used in place of each other. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

Mistake #1: Using “Course” To Refer To A Specific Assignment Or Project

One common mistake people make is using the word “course” to refer to a specific assignment or project. For example, saying “I have a course due tomorrow” instead of “I have coursework due tomorrow.” The word “course” refers to the entire class or program of study, while “coursework” refers to the individual assignments and projects within that class.

Mistake #2: Using “Course” As A Synonym For “Program”

Another mistake is using “course” as a synonym for “program.” For example, saying “I’m enrolled in a business course” instead of “I’m enrolled in a business coursework program.” The word “course” refers to a single class, while “coursework” refers to the entire program of study.

Mistake #3: Using “Coursework” To Refer To A Single Class

On the flip side, some people make the mistake of using “coursework” to refer to a single class. For example, saying “I have to study for my coursework” instead of “I have to study for my calculus course.” Coursework refers to the assignments and projects within a class, while “course” refers to the class itself.

Tips To Avoid These Mistakes

• Be mindful of the context in which you are using these words.
• Double-check your usage of “course” and “coursework” to ensure that you are using the correct term.
• If in doubt, consult a dictionary or style guide for clarification.

Context Matters

When it comes to choosing between the terms “course” and “coursework,” the context in which they are used can play a significant role. While both terms are related to education and learning, they have distinct differences that can affect how they are used in different situations.

A course is typically defined as a series of classes or lectures on a specific subject, usually taken by students in pursuit of a degree or certification. It can also refer to a specific subject or topic of study, such as a math course or a literature course. In this context, the term “course” is often used to refer to a structured program of study that has a clear beginning and end.

For example, a college student might enroll in a biology course as part of their degree program. The course would consist of a series of lectures, assignments, and exams that are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. In this context, the term “course” is appropriate because it refers to a specific program of study that has a clear structure and purpose.

Coursework, on the other hand, refers to the assignments, projects, and other tasks that are assigned to students as part of a course. It can include everything from written essays to lab reports to group projects. In this context, the term “coursework” is often used to refer to the practical work that students are expected to complete as part of their studies.

For example, a student enrolled in a biology course might be assigned coursework that includes conducting experiments in a lab, writing research papers on specific topics, and giving presentations on their findings. In this context, the term “coursework” is appropriate because it refers to the practical work that is assigned to students as part of their studies.

Contextual Examples

The choice between course and coursework can depend on the context in which they are used. Here are some examples of different contexts and how the choice between course and coursework might change:

• Academic Setting: In an academic setting, the term “course” is often used to refer to a specific program of study, while “coursework” is used to refer to the practical work that is assigned to students as part of that program.
• Professional Setting: In a professional setting, the term “course” might be used to refer to a training program or workshop, while “coursework” might be used to refer to the specific assignments or projects that are assigned as part of that training.
• Online Learning: In an online learning environment, the term “course” might be used to refer to a self-paced program of study, while “coursework” might be used to refer to the specific assignments or projects that are assigned as part of that program.

Overall, the choice between course and coursework can depend on the context in which they are used. Understanding the differences between these terms can help you communicate more effectively in different educational and professional settings.

Exceptions To The Rules

While the rules for using course and coursework are generally straightforward, there are a few exceptions to keep in mind.

1. Colloquial Language

When speaking informally or using colloquial language, the rules for using course and coursework may not be as strict. In these cases, it is more important to convey your meaning clearly than to adhere to strict grammar rules.

For example, in casual conversation, it is acceptable to say “I’m taking a course in history” or “I have a lot of coursework to do this semester,” even if technically the word “coursework” should only be used to refer to the assignments and projects associated with a course.

2. Regional Differences

There may be regional differences in the use of course and coursework. In some areas or dialects, one word may be used more frequently or in a slightly different way than in others.

For example, in British English, the word “coursework” is more commonly used to refer to the assignments and projects associated with a course, while in American English, the word “coursework” may also be used to refer to the entire course itself.

3. Technical Jargon

In certain fields or industries, there may be technical jargon or specific terminology that uses the words course or coursework in a different way than the general rules dictate.

For example, in the field of education, the term “course of study” may be used to refer to the specific classes and requirements for a degree program, rather than to individual courses. In this context, the word “course” would not be interchangeable with “coursework.”

4. Idiomatic Expressions

There are also some idiomatic expressions that use the words course or coursework in a non-literal way. These expressions may not follow the usual rules for using the words.

For example, the phrase “stay the course” means to persevere or continue on a particular path, even in the face of obstacles or challenges. This usage of the word “course” is not related to a specific academic class or program.

While the rules for using course and coursework may seem simple, there are exceptions to keep in mind. In some cases, colloquial language, regional differences, technical jargon, or idiomatic expressions may cause the words to be used in a different way than the general rules dictate.

Practice Exercises

One of the best ways to improve your understanding and use of course and coursework is through practice exercises. These exercises will help you to apply the concepts you have learned and to identify any areas where you may need further clarification.

Exercise 1: Fill In The Blank

Complete the following sentences with either course or coursework:

• After completing the ______, students will receive a certificate of completion.
• He decided to change his major halfway through his ______.
• She is currently enrolled in a ______ on business writing.

Answer Key:

Exercise 2: Multiple Choice

Choose the correct option to complete each sentence:

• ______ is the material that is covered in a class.
• b. coursework
• ______ refers to the specific assignments and projects that are completed in a class.
• Which of the following is an example of coursework?
• a. Attending lectures
• b. Taking quizzes
• c. Writing a research paper
• d. All of the above

By completing these practice exercises, you will be able to improve your understanding and use of course and coursework. Remember to always refer back to the definitions and examples provided to ensure that you are using these terms correctly in your writing and communication.

In conclusion, the difference between course and coursework is significant and should not be overlooked. While a course refers to a series of classes or lectures on a particular subject, coursework is the work assigned to students as part of the course. It is essential to understand this difference to avoid confusion and use the terms correctly.

Moreover, the proper use of grammar and language is crucial in any form of writing, whether academic or professional. It is essential to pay attention to the details and nuances of the language to convey the intended message effectively.

Therefore, readers are encouraged to continue learning about grammar and language use to improve their writing skills. There are numerous resources available online, such as grammar guides, style manuals, and writing courses, that can help individuals enhance their language skills.

Guidelines and steps for writing a coursework | Tips for good writing

What is a coursework and why to write a coursework.

A coursework is a written or practical work done by student in form of thesis, dissertation, project or paper as a part of course. This is often an essential requirement for being awarded a degree and counts towards successful completion of the course. A coursework is assessed by class instructors or by other teachers in the school. Many students cannot clearly define what is a coursework. In a nutshell, at the “A” and GSCE level , a coursework is written in the form of projects or essays. There are few guidelines and good practices which should be followed while writing a coursework. Perfect examples of a coursework include extended essay, field studies, practical activities, design studies and internal assessment test set. Conversely, each coursework have differing objectives from one course unit to another. In addition, a coursework may incorporate work for which the experiments, topics, themes or parameters of a project or essay have been designed by the teacher, or specified in the syllabus, or selected by the students themselves. Therefore, a coursework is presented in a form of a research assignment meant to reflect the understanding of topics and concepts by the student. Students can handle their coursework either at school under the controlled conditions in class sessions, and/or as homework.

Some rules & guidelines for writing a coursework

 All these rules are constantly restated in coursework prompts and rubrics to ensure one does not derail and violate them when they are figuring out on how to start a coursework.

Deciding good topic for a coursework

The steps on how to finish a coursework is easy as it necessitates one to edit their papers prior to the submission. Prior to the submission, students would have time to proffered and confirm features such as word count, word choice, grammar errors, spellings as well as the punctuation mistakes. It is advisable to carry out a manual proofreading as the modern spell checking and grammar checking software can overlook some common mistakes. Importantly, a student is required to include in-text citation according to the writing style used. A well-written coursework is thought-provoking, enjoyable for the reader and enhances the reader’s knowledge.

• How to Make Your Coursework as Good as It Can Possibly Be

Many GCSE and A-level subjects are assessed in part by coursework in addition to exams, meaning that the mark you receive for coursework contributes to your overall grade. Many students prefer coursework, because it’s a chance to showcase your academic abilities away from the high-pressured environment of the exam room, making it ideal for those who don’t perform to the best of their abilities in exams. However, the time you have available for coursework, in contrast with the time constraints of the exam room, can lull some students into a false sense of security. Coursework is arguably just as challenging as exams, just in different ways – and, given the fact that you have more time, much higher standards are expected of you in coursework than in exams. Careful planning and research are needed for successful coursework, as well as strong data-gathering and essay-writing skills. In this article, we look at how to produce excellent coursework, from planning to proofreading. This information might also be useful to you if you’re planning on attending an Oxford Summer School this summer.

What is coursework?

GCSE and A-level coursework typically takes the form of an extended essay or project. Its objectives vary from one subject to another, but there’s usually an emphasis on the student conducting independent research into a topic of their own choice. Thus coursework often takes the form of some sort of investigation; it may, therefore, help to have your ‘detective’ hat on as you explore, investigate and analyse your topic. You can usually work on your coursework at home, though it’s sometimes completed under controlled conditions through sessions at school. To give you a better idea of how coursework varies from one subject to another, here are some examples:

• English – English coursework usually takes the form of an extended essay with a title of your choice. You’re usually given a choice of themes and/or texts to explore, and you could choose a format such as a comparison between a set text and another one.
• Geography – Geography coursework usually focuses on the gathering, reporting and interpretation of data designed to answer a particular geographical question. You could investigate usage of a shopping centre, for example, or look at erosion on a particular beach.
• Sciences – coursework for science subjects often takes the form of a scientific project or experiment that you conduct and report on yourself.

Before you start work on your coursework, it’s essential that you have a thorough understanding of the rules. Failing to conform to the rules – inadvertently or not – may result in your coursework (or possibly even your entire qualification) being disqualified, so it’s a serious matter.

• No plagiarism – this is particularly dangerous given the ready availability of relevant information on the internet these days. Make sure everything is in your own words; you’ll need to sign a declaration stating that it’s your own original work.
• There’s only so much help your teacher can give you . They can provide guidance on what you need to include, and on what the examiners will be looking for. You can ask them questions, but they’ll usually only be able to check through your first draft once and offer broad hints on updating it.
• Check the word count , and stick to it. Find out whether footnotes, appendices and bibliographies are included in the word count.
• Check what topics you’re allowed to do your coursework on; if there’s an exam on this topic, you’ll almost certainly have to choose a different one for your coursework.

Choose your topic wisely

Ideally, choose something you’re genuinely interested in, as your enthusiasm will come across and you’ll find it more enjoyable to write. If there’s something you’ve been working on for the course so far that you’ve particularly enjoyed, you may be able to focus more on this as part of your coursework. For science coursework, you’ll need to choose something to investigate that you can measure, change and control; it should be what’s called a ‘fair test’, meaning that you have to acknowledge all the controls you use in the experiment and why. Try not to pick a topic for which the scope is too vast, as you’ll struggle to research it properly and you’re unlikely to do it justice, and it’ll be hard to keep within the word limit. Ask your teachers for some guidance on choosing your topic if you’re not sure what to write about; they might even tell you a bit about what previous students have done to give you some inspiration.

Plan how long it’s going to take

Never leave your coursework until the last minute, even if this is your normal approach to essays and it usually works for you. Make sure you understand when the deadlines are, including time for submitting a first draft for comments from your teacher. Then schedule blocks of time for working on it, allowing plenty of time before the deadline to cater for any unexpected delays. Allow ample time for making corrections based on teacher feedback on your first draft, and keep some time aside before the deadline for final editing and proofreading. Because actual deadlines are few and far between, you’ll need to take responsibility for the writing process and impose some deadlines on yourself to ensure it’s finished in time. Write down your deadlines on a calendar, with the coursework broken into stages and dates assigned to each, by which time each task should be complete. You can base your stages on the next few points in this article – research and data gathering, a structure plan for the piece of work, writing up, and so on.

Conducting your research and gathering data

As coursework is primarily a research exercise, the research phase is crucial, so don’t be tempted to skimp on it and go straight to writing up. Use as many different resources as you can to gather data: books, journals, newspapers, television, radio, the internet and anything else you think might be relevant. For science and Geography coursework, you’ll need to base your work on a hypothesis, so the research stage should start by coming up with at least one hypothesis, otherwise your research will lack direction. The research phase for some subjects may involve site visits for gathering data, so allow plenty of time for this, particularly if you need your parents to drive you somewhere to do so. If it’s a scientific experiment you’re conducting for your coursework, you’ll need to pay careful attention to planning the experiment using rigorous scientific methods (also noting what Health and Safety precautions you are taking), as well as reading up on the background and theory so that you have an idea of what to expect from the outcome of your experiment. In the research stage, make notes about what you expect to happen, so that you can later compare your expectations with what actually did happen. The experiment itself also forms part of the research and data-gathering stage for your science coursework; in the write-up stage, which we come onto shortly, you analyse and write up the results.

Plan your structure

Once you’ve completed your research, the process of writing up begins. Before you get down to the actual writing, however, it’s advisable to write a plan for how you’re going to structure it – essentially an essay plan for English coursework and other subjects for which the coursework is based on an extended essay. It’ll look slightly different from an essay plan for science subjects and others that revolve around project work, but the principle is the same: plan out what order you’re going to present your information in. For big projects, this is particularly important, because with a lot of information to convey, you risk being disorganised and waffling.

Writing up your project

For any coursework, but particularly coursework based around an extended essay, you’ll need to perfect your essay-writing abilities. For science coursework, writing up your project also involves data analysis, as you interpret the results of your experiment and work your notes into formal scientific language. Follow the links below to find lots more useful advice on writing great essays.

• How to write more original essays
• Techniques from creative writing that can improve your essays

When you’re writing up, it’s important to find a place where you can work quietly, without distractions that could cause you to make careless errors. You wouldn’t want noise or distractions when you were in an exam room, so treat your coursework with the same reverence.

Supporting materials and images

For some subjects, namely the sciences and Geography, it would be appropriate to include images, graphs, charts, tables and so on in your coursework. For example, for Geography coursework, your extra material could include annotated images and maps of the site you’re talking about, plus tables, graphs and charts. An appendix could then detail your raw data; if, for example, your coursework focused on the results of a survey, you could put the raw survey responses in an appendix and provide summaries and analysis in the main body of the coursework.

Footnotes and bibliography

As we said earlier, it’s important that you always use your own words in your coursework to avoid the possibility of falling foul of plagiarism rules. However, it’s acceptable to quote from another source, as you would in any piece of academic writing, but you must make sure that you state where it is from and use quotation marks to show that it’s a quote from somewhere else. The best way of citing another work is to use a footnote; word processors will allow you to insert one, and it just puts a little number at the end of the sentence and another in the footer of the document, into which you put the name of the author and work, and the page within that work that the quote can be found. At the end of your piece of work, include a bibliography that includes a list of every external source you’ve used in the creation of your coursework. Stick to a set formula when including books. A common format is: Author Surname, Initial. (Date) – Title of Book , page number For example: Lewis, C.S. (1960) – Studies in Words , p. 45 When you get to university, you’ll be expected to include footnotes and bibliographies in all your essays, so it’s a good habit to get into and coursework gives you good practice at it.

The final pre-submission check

Having completed a first draft, received feedback from your teacher, and honed your work into a finished piece of coursework, have a final check through it before you send off your coursework for submission.

• Sense check : have a read through your completed piece of work and check that it all makes sense. Make sure you haven’t contradicted yourself anywhere, or repeated yourself, or laboured the point. If there are any facts that you may have meant to look up to double check their accuracy, do so now.
• Word count : ensure that the completed work falls within the word count, and double check whether the bibliography should be included in the word count. If you’ve exceeded it, you’ll need to work through the piece and tighten up your writing, omitting unnecessary information, reordering sentences so that they use fewer words, and so on.
• Proofread : check your spelling and grammar, and ensure that there are no typos. Don’t just use the spellcheck – go through it with a fine toothcomb, manually, and if you can, ask someone to read through it for you to see if they spot anything you haven’t.
• Formatting : check that you’ve included page numbers, and that the font and line spacing is consistent throughout the work. Ensure that the font is plain and easy to read, such as Arial or Times New Roman.
• Bibliography : check that you’ve included everything, that the format is the same for all sources mentioned, and that the right information is included for each.

Once this stage is complete, you’re ready to submit your coursework along with your declaration that it’s entirely your own work. Get ready for a feeling of immense satisfaction when you finally send off your hard work!

10 Rules of Engagement When You Attend Training

When you attend training in your work world what are your expectations? I am sure yours are like mine. Interesting, relevant and useful are right at the top of most people’s list. Have you ever considered what the trainer’s expectations are? That might put a different spin on your perspective.

I have been a trainer for financial institutions for several decades and here are a few of the rules of engagement for the attendee:

• Come prepared to engage in the learning.
• Be on time.
• Bring an open mind.
• Don’t forget a sweater or a jacket if you tend to be cold-natured.
• If you bring a laptop or tablet, don’t cause a distraction to others by keyboarding or checking your email or Facebook.
• Leave your cell phone on vibrate or off and in your pocket or handbag.
• Participate; ask questions, speak so everyone in the room can hear you.
• Take notes.
• Return to your workplace prepared to discuss what was covered.
• Provide feedback on your evaluation about how the training experience was for you.

Virtual Classroom Rules: Enhancing Online Learning & Participation

This post has been updated to reflect 2023 data and trends.

Discover how virtual classroom rules transform online learning dynamics and boost engagement.

Every day, thousands of virtual classroom sessions take place — meetings, webinars, comprehensive training programs. In fact, according to Backlinko, as of 2023, the number of annual meeting minutes on Zoom is over 3.3 trillion, which translates to approximately 9.04 billion minutes per day. This is just for Zoom, and it doesn't account for other platforms like Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.

This trend does not surprise us — the world, and our classrooms, have changed. And while instructional design and facilitation approaches need updating, learners also have to adapt to this learning environment. Participation, collaboration, interaction, and contribution look different in the virtual classroom, and there are virtual classroom rules that should be followed.

Visualizing the Impact: Virtual Classrooms With and Without Rules 

In virtual learning, the presence or absence of classroom rules can dramatically alter the educational experience. Here are some examples:

With Virtual Classroom Rules :

• Focused Learning: Students log in to a distraction-free environment, with notifications silenced and a "Do Not Disturb: sign on their door. This practice fosters a concentrated learning atmosphere.
• Active Participation and Environmental Engagement: Students are aware of the expectation to engage, leading to lively discussions and interactive sessions. The "hand raise" feature is used effectively, ensuring orderly and inclusive participation.
• Structured Communication: Inquiries and feedback are systematically managed through chat and verbal responses, maintaining a smooth flow of the session.

Without Virtual Classroom Rules:

• Disorganized Environment: Without guidelines, students may face constant interruptions from emails, calls, or family members, leading to a fragmented learning experience.
• Passive Engagement: In the absence of participation norms, students might remain silent spectators, missing the benefits of active engagement and collaborative learning.
• Chaotic Interaction: Questions and feedback can become overwhelming without a structured approach, leading to confusion and an unproductive learning environment.

Clearly, establishing and adhering to virtual classroom rules transforms a chaotic online space into a thriving hub of learning and interaction.

5 Must-Follow Rules for Top-Notch Virtual Classrooms

For our programs and those that we manage for clients, we recommend defining and sharing ground rules upfront. Not only does it help learners to better understand expectations, but also it wards off underwhelming training that may neglect the learners' needs.

Generally, learners want to do a good job. In our experience, the following five rules help learners learn effectively online:

1. Minimize distractions

Ask learners to consider their training area and eliminate any possible interruptions. Independent of your virtual classroom setup, the best practices include 

• logging out of email,
• silencing the cell phone (and desk phone if applicable),
• and going inactive in instant messaging applications like Slack and Skype.
• If the learners have coworkers or family in the immediate space, ask them to place a “do not disturb” sign on their office door.

2. Participation

Most learners experience the virtual classroom for the first time in a webinar format, which involves very little contribution . In true virtual classroom training or collaboration events, learners need to come ready to participate. Virtual f acilitators should prepare learners at the outset that they will call on learners by name and ask them to give feedback and answers verbally.

3. Encourage interaction with the "hand raise"

Most virtual classroom platforms have a “hand raise” interaction tool option. Without express permission to use this tool, though, learners may keep urgent questions or feedback to themselves. Facilitators or session producers need to not only show learners where to find the hand raise option but also encourage its usage throughout the session by responding to inquiries that come through.

4. Have patience

Learners who ask questions in face-to-face trainings expect immediate answers. Sometimes those answers are not given in the virtual classroom, especially if learners submit questions via the chat feature.

Let learners know that the instructional team will monitor chat and respond via text or verbal response when they can. This rule provides another opportunity to direct learners to use the hand raise tool if they have an urgent question or concern.

5. Ask to be kept in the loop

Even engaged learners invested in the training process may need to step away from their desks to use the restroom or grab a cup of coffee or even leave the training due to an unexpected emergency. Remind learners to use the coffee cup emoticon (if available) or to private chat the facilitator to let them know if they take a break. Keeping lines of communication open help ensure that the virtual session goes smoothly for everyone.

Case Study: How a Multinational Software Company Enhanced Virtual Training with Classroom Rules

We had the opportunity to work with a multinational software company to implement virtual classroom rules across their global training programs. Previously, their online sessions struggled with low engagement and participation. We introduced key rules: ensuring minimal distractions, mandating active participation, promoting the use of interactive tools like "hand raise," educating about response time expectations, and maintaining open communication for any learner needing to step away.

Then we taught the facilitators how to ensure these rules were followed in a way that was inclusive and engaging.

The results were remarkable. The company saw a significant increase in participant engagement and retention — largely because they realized the facilitator and the company took virtual training seriously, and so should they.

 This real-world application demonstrates how structured virtual classroom rules can profoundly impact the efficacy of online training.

Measuring Success: The Impact of Ground Rules on Virtual Learning

Our experience consistently shows that implementing and enforcing virtual classroom rules leads to tangible improvements in learner engagement and retention. 

But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s some data:

In a study titled " Web-based virtual learning environments: A research framework and a preliminary assessment of effectiveness in basic IT skills training ," it was found that standardizing the learning model, which can include setting clear ground rules, could potentially enhance the effectiveness of learning.

Another paper titled " On Measuring Learning Success of Students with Disabilities in Virtual Environments " suggests that ground rules can represent a good starting point in preparation of specific measures of virtual learning success.

This success translates to learners being more immersed in their learning journey, demonstrating better understanding of the material, and applying their new skills more effectively in their work or studies. This evidence underscores the power of structured rules in creating a conducive and productive virtual learning environment.

Coursework Simplified – What is Coursework?

Coursework papers can be described as an extension of a school project or essay. The role of coursework varies from different disciplines that a student is majoring in. When writing your coursework paper, conducting relevant research plays a very vital role. The emphasis required is independent for various topics. Doing the research is like an investigation, and every bit of detail matters largely. Act like a detective when searching, analyzing, and investigating sources of information for your topic.

How to Write a Good Coursework

We strongly recommend you to begin your coursework as soon as you are given such a task. Brilliant coursework needs a lot of time, so you have to start as early as possible. Always stay calm so that you cannot mess up your performance due to pressure. Do not rush to complete your assignment on one sitting. Divide your workload precisely and work slowly from day to day. This way, you can have manageable work to do every day, enabling you to pay great attention to your assignment.

Brilliant Writing Tips – How to Start a Coursework

The most important and vital part of coursework writing is research. Always make sure all the sources of information you use are credible. Various sources like material written by authentic writers, visiting the libraries, surfing the internet, or written class notes can be used as great sources.

Try to be organized and make an efficient timetable before you start working on your assignments. Follow your set timetable and avoid rushing your work. Never work on your coursework when your deadline is approaching. In case of emergencies, preset a completion date before you are required to submit your work.

The Perfect Way on How to Structure a Coursework

If you want to excel in coursework writing, you need to have a good structure. This means:

• Structuring your coursework is essential for all academic writing for a reason. A structure allows a writer to thoroughly layout your assignments and plans on how your final paper will look.
• A coursework structure is created after finishing the studying of your research sources. When doing this, you can loom at good coursework written by other students.
• Be careful not to have plagiarism because it is a huge mistake that can cause you to ultimately fail your coursework paper.
• Create a structure that can provide you with reliable follow up when writing your assignment.

A Proven and Brilliant Coursework Introduction

The introduction is what draws in a reader. It should be enticing but short. Your beginning statement should always draw in your reader. This will make the argument or information interesting, leaving your reader asking for more. Once you have a great beginning and all the context needed, countercheck your paper to make sure it is consistent and coherent. Don’t be discouraged if you write your introduction many times, it means you have a grasp of the right thing to do.

A Great Coursework Body

The body is where a writer states the main argument and fully develops it. Each paragraph should contain a key point clearly supporting an argument. The follow up should support all key points and be backed up with substantial evidence. The body of the essay is the building block for the coursework assignment. The body paragraph will be quite readable if it doesn’t contain large chunks of text. Simple paragraphs of 4-5 lines are quite enough.

A Moving Coursework Conclusion

A conclusion plays an important role in paper writing. It helps to reinforce your argument or main idea of your paper. Our experts insist that you have to restate the thesis statement and main idea of the coursework. Without a good conclusion, your essay will look blunt. This will make your assignment seem incomplete.

SUPPLEMENTAL RULES FOR ADMIRALTY OR MARITIME CLAIMS AND ASSET FORFEITURE ACTIONS SUPPLEMENTAL RULES FOR SOCIAL SECURITY ACTIONS UNDER 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) Leave your cans out, park your truck: DeSantis signs bill to rein in overbearing HOA fines Hoa directors, managers have new education requirements. Florida residents with oppressive and obsessive HOAs , your day of freedom may be at hand. Homeowner associations (HOAs) were created to maintain standards, uniformity and a sense of community while collecting dues to pay for common areas, services and general neighborhood improvements. But they also tend to attract people with strong opinions about what their neighbors can do. It seems that everyone who has lived in an HOA has  a horror story  about petty or arbitrary  fines that keep increasing, harassment, inflexible and overly  restrictive rules  regarding the appearance of homes and lawns, the lack of budget transparency, or just the ongoing grind of living under the watchful eyes of HOA  busybodies  with tape measures and a lot of free time who care deeply about where you park. A new bill, signed Friday by Gov, Ron DeSantis, may change all that when it takes effect July 1. Or at least make life a little more manageable. HB 1203 , Homeowners' Association, was just one of several HOA bills introduced in this year's legislative session but it may be the most sweeping one, amounting to essentially a Homeowner's Bill of Rights. Under state law, HOAs will be restricted from some of the most complained-about rules and fines and required to be more transparent. This law comes just after another one forcing HOAs to allow homeowners to harden their homes against hurricanes. Here's what changed. What Florida HOAs can't do to homeowners anymore As of July 1, 2024, HOAs will be prohibited from: Enforcing rules on some residents but not others Banning homeowners or their invited guests from parking personal, business or first responder vehicles (including pickup trucks) that are not commercial vehicles in their driveways or any other area where they have a right to park per state, county and municipal regulations Banning contractors or workers from the homeowner's property Fining residents for leaving garbage cans at the curb or the end of their driveway within 24 hours of a scheduled trash collection Fining residents for leaving up holiday lights or decorations past the HOA's rules without prior notice, after which the homeowner will have one week to take them down Limiting or creating rules for the inside of a structure that isn't visible from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course Banning vegetable gardens or clotheslines, if they can't be seen from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course Require review and approval of plans for central air conditioning, refrigeration, heating or ventilation system that isn't visible from the street, a neighbor's property, an adjacent common area or a community golf course and is similar to previously approved systems If a construction or improvement request is denied, the HOA also must provide written notice "stating with specificity" exactly why and under which rule or covenant. Law requires HOA transparency Every HOA must keep its official records (bylaws and amendments, articles of incorporation, declaration of covenants, current rules, meeting minutes, insurance policies, contracts, financials, budgets, tax returns, voting records, etc.) for at least seven years. Destruction of accounting records within that time is a first-degree misdemeanor. HOAs with more than 100 parcels must post all of their rules, convenents, budgets and related documents on their websites by Jan. 1. HOAs must provide notice and agendas for any scheduled meeting of its members at least 14 days in advance in plain sight on its website. Any document to be considered and voted on must be posted online at least seven days before the meeting. An HOA with at least 1,000 parcels must prepare audited financial statements. Official records must be made available to a parcel owner within 10 business days of receipt of their written request, with some restrictions on how many physical copies are permitted, or the HOA must pay damages. Violation is a second-degree misdemeanor. Refusal to comply with the intent of avoiding criminal investigations or punishment is a third-degree felony. If an HOA receives a subpoena for records from a law enforcement agency, they must provide a copy or make them available for copying within five business days. Every three months, a homeowner may make a written request for a detailed accounting of any and all money they owe to the association related to their parcel, and get it within 15 business days. If the board does not comply, any outstanding fines the person owes older than 30 days that they never received written notice of will be waived. HOA director education, and bribes A newly elected or appointed director must complete education on financial literacy and transparency, recordkeeping, levying of fines, and notice and meeting requirements within 90 days and repeat it at least every four years. On top of that, the director of an HOA with fewer than 2,500 parcels must complete at least four hours of continuing education every year or be suspended until they do. An HOA officer, director or manager who solicits offers or accepts kickbacks commits a third-degree felony and must immediately be removed from office. HOA managers or management firms have to be involved and easy to find An HOA manager or a representative of the HOA management firm must: Attend, in person, at least one annual member or board meeting Provide the name and contact information for every HOA manager or management form rep assigned to the HOA along with their hours of availability and a summary of their duties, which must be posted to the HOA's website and kept current Provide a copy of the contract between the manager or management firm and the HOA and keep it with the HOA records Complete at least five hours of continuing education on HOAs, with three hours relating to recordkeeping What are HOAs? A Homeowner's Association or HOA is an organization in a planned community, neighborhood subdivision or condominium building that creates and enforces rules for the properties, residents and guests. It charges fees to be used for the maintenance of the community and may levy fines against residents who violate the rules. HOA rules are often in place to maintain conformity among the permitted architecture, color schemes, landscaping and decorations. HOAs also enforce parking restrictions, noise complaint policies, home occupancy limits,  vacation rentals  and more. Anyone buying property within the jurisdiction of an HOA automatically becomes a member of the HOA and subject to its restrictions and covenants. 40 Facts About Elektrostal Written by Lanette Mayes Modified & Updated: 01 Jun 2024 Reviewed by Jessica Corbett Elektrostal is a vibrant city located in the Moscow Oblast region of Russia.

Fact Sheets Fact Sheet: Presidential Proclamation to Suspend and Limit Entry and Joint DHS-DOJ Interim Final Rule to Restrict Asylum During High Encounters at the Southern Border Today, the Biden-Harris Administration took decisive new action to strengthen border security, announcing a series of measures that restrict asylum eligibility, and significantly increase the consequences for those who enter without authorization across the southern border. These extraordinary steps, which will be in effect during times when high levels of encounters exceed our ability to deliver timely consequences, will make noncitizens who enter across the southern border ineligible for asylum with certain exceptions, raise the standard that is used to screen for certain protection claims, and speed up our ability to quickly remove those who do not qualify for protection. These actions follow a series of steps that the Administration has taken over the past three years as it prepared for the end of the Title 42 public health Order, and since it was lifted last year, including surging personnel, infrastructure, and technology to the border, issuing the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways Rule, and referring record numbers of noncitizens into expedited removal. Over the past year, we have removed or returned more than three quarters of a million people, more than in any fiscal year since 2010. Despite these efforts, our outdated and broken immigration and asylum system, coupled with a lack of sufficient funding, make it impossible to quickly impose consequences on all noncitizens who cross irregularly and without a legal basis to remain in the United States. The Administration has repeatedly called on Congress to provide the resources and legal authorities needed to secure our border. The measures announced today will better enable the Department to quickly remove individuals without a legal basis to remain in the United States, strengthening enforcement and change the calculus for those considering crossing our border irregularly. However, they are no substitute for Congressional action. We continue to call on Congress to provide the new tools and resources we have asked for to support the men and women on the frontlines. President Biden issued a Presidential Proclamation to temporarily suspend the entry of noncitizens across the southern border. The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General also jointly issued an interim final rule that, consistent with the Proclamation, generally restricts asylum eligibility for those who irregularly enter across the southern border – including the Southwest land and the southern coastal borders. The rule also limits fear screenings to those who manifest a fear or express a desire to file for protection and heightens the screening standard for statutory withholding and claims under the Convention Against Torture. Taken together, these measures will significantly increase the speed and scope of consequences for those who cross our borders irregularly or who attempt to present themselves at Ports of Entry without authorization, allowing the Departments to more quickly remove individuals who do not establish a legal basis to remain in the United States. The restriction on asylum eligibility will be discontinued when encounters fall below certain levels but will come back into effect if encounters rise again. The rule makes three key changes to current processing under Title 8 immigration authorities during periods of high border encounters: First, noncitizens who cross the southern border unlawfully or without authorization will generally be ineligible for asylum, absent exceptionally compelling circumstances and unless they are excepted by the Proclamation. Second, noncitizens who cross the southern border and are processed for expedited removal while the limitation is in effect will only be referred for a credible fear screening with an Asylum Officer if they manifest or express a fear of return to their country or country of removal, a fear of persecution or torture, or an intention to apply for asylum.   Third, the U.S. will continue to adhere to its international obligations and commitments by screening individuals who manifest a fear as noted above and do not qualify for an exception to the Rule for withholding of removal and Convention Against Torture protections at a reasonable probability of persecution or torture standard – a new, substantially higher standard than is currently applied under the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule.   Like the Proclamation, the rule provides for an end to these enhanced measures following a sustained reduction in southern border encounters. Specifically, these measures are in effect until 14 calendar days after there has been a 7-consecutive-calendar-day average of less than 1,500 encounters between the ports of entry. The measures would again go into effect, or continue, as appropriate, when there has been a 7-consecutive-calendar-day average of 2,500 encounters or more. During periods of high encounters, the Proclamation will apply across the southern border. Lawful permanent residents, unaccompanied children, victims of a severe form of trafficking, and other noncitizens with a valid visa or other lawful permission to enter the United States are excepted from the Proclamation. In addition, the suspension and limitation on entry and rule will not apply to noncitizens who use a Secretary-approved process—such as the CBP One mobile app—to enter the United States at a port of entry in a safe and orderly manner or pursue another lawful pathway. Noncitizens who cross the southern border and who are not excepted from the Proclamation will be ineligible for asylum unless exceptionally compelling circumstances exist, including if the noncitizen demonstrates that they or a member of their family with whom they are traveling: faced an acute medical emergency; faced an imminent and extreme threat to life or safety, such as an imminent threat of rape, kidnapping, torture, or murder; or satisfied the definition of “victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons” currently provided in 8 CFR 214.11. Consequences Noncitizens who are subject to the rule’s limitation on asylum eligibility and who manifest or express a fear of return to their country or country of removal, express a fear of persecution or torture or an intention to apply for asylum, but do not establish a reasonable probability of persecution or torture in the country of removal will be promptly removed. Those ordered removed will be subject to at least a five-year bar to reentry and potential criminal prosecution. The Proclamation and rule will significantly enhance the security of our border by increasing the Departments’ ability to impose swift consequences for individuals who cross the southern border irregularly and do not establish a legal basis to remain in the United States.  Together, the Proclamation and rule make critical changes to how the Departments operate during times when encounters are at historically high levels—levels that, in the absence of these changes, undermine the government’s ability to process individuals through the expedited removal process. These changes will enable the Departments to quickly return those without a lawful basis to stay in the United States and thereby free up the asylum system for those with legitimate claims. These extraordinary measures are a stop gap. Even with these measures in place, the Departments continue to lack the authorities and resources needed to adequately support the men and women on the frontlines. The Administration again calls on Congress to take up and pass the bipartisan reforms proposed in the Senate, which provide the new authorities, personnel, and resources that are needed to address the historic global migration that is impacting countries throughout the world, including our own. Until Congress does its part, we will continue to take any actions needed under current law and within existing resources to secure the border.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that.  The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role.  I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL.  Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST) Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST) Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST) Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST) Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.  Loading comments...
