Timeline
The following chart shows the timeline for the term-time assessment in this module.
About Feedback Dates
The provisional feedback date is normally 15 working days after the date of hand-in for the assessment.
If there is expected to be a delay on the feedback, you will be notified by email and the date on this page
should be updated. The date for feedback might also be more than 15 working days if the University is
closed during that time, e.g. during part of the vacation or if the marker has some planned annual leave. The length of time might also be longer if the
marking period includes necessary maintenance of Blackboard/TurnItIn (planned or unplanned) during the
marking period.
