Students will be allotted virtually one yellow card at
course initiation. If a student is unable to submit material for a tutorial assignment by the prescribed deadline, then the yellow card will redeemed (and no mark will be recorded). Students who retain their yellow card may exchange it one-to-one for a perfect evaluation ( i.e., the yellow card may replace any tutorial assignment score). Yellow cards are non-transferable.
The yellow card system is implemented to recognise that sometimes circumstances conspire beyond predictable control (e.g., a pregnant dog goes into labour the night before an assignment is due) … ‘stuff happens!’ Yellow cards allow students to miss one assignment without penalty and teaching assistants to be efficient (i.e., ruthless) in processing assignments.
