Coursework logistics
The coursework assignments should be done in groups of up to 4 people. Note that there will be no ‘concessions’ in terms of marks for working in a smaller group.
You will be working with the same group for both courseworks.
Every group member is expected to contribute sufficiently to the implementation of both courseworks.
Group formation
Please form your groups by the end of Week 2. This is so that we can generate the Gitlab repository for your group at the beginning of Week 3 to work on your first coursework.
You can still change members before the deadline of coursework 1 if needed.
Handing in your coursework
You will first need to form a group on Scientia.
- Pick a leader.
- The leader of the group will be the only person allowed to submit.
- The leader will add the remaining members to the group on Scientia.
- Each group member will then sign an individual declaration to confirm that (s)he is part of the group. This has to be done separately for each coursework before the deadline.
More details about what to submit will be given in the coursework specifications.
If your leader cannot find you on Scientia, it means that you have accidentally declared yourself as a leader. Please delete your submissions (if any), and then delete your individual declaration that you signed. Your leader will then be able to find you and add you on Scientia. Then you can sign your group declaration AFTER you have been added.
Late submission penalties
CATE is very very strict with deadlines. The departmental late submission policies will apply:
- Up to 24 hours: Mark is capped to pass.
- Beyond 24 hours: Mark = 0
It is ok if a member signs his/her declaration late, but the leader must NOT submit late, or the above penalties will apply.
If your group needs an individual extension or need to submit late with a valid reason, you should formally apply for extension via your degree coordinator who just so happens to be Josiah Wang for MSc Computing students.
