Expectations for independent work

COVID19 has meant that we've had to change a lot about how we teach and do the course. We wanted to give you all a fair opportunity to complete the assignment in a timeline that suits you. So we have given you 24 hours to complete the exam.

Please make sure that you don't cheat, and be fair. Penalties for cheating will carry the same academic penalty

• Open book
• Internet access
• No contacting / messaging / communicating friends during exam (penalty will be the same as cheating in exam)
• No collaborating with others (students, anyone online)
• No discussion on anything related to this exercise with others, the work submitted should reflect entirely your own work.
• Clarification questions can be asked between 12-2pm on Wednesday at the lecture zoom chat
