Penalties apply for late submissions including monthly reports.
- To ensure the quality of the report, you are strongly encouraged to meet with your allocated Communication Tutor and have her review your report before submission. As an FYP/FYT student, you are required to meet with your Communication Tutor twice to check your reports before the submission of the Final Report.
- Please check with a Communication Tutor if you are unsure of any specific case in your reports.
- Penalty: any of the following items lead to the lowering of your FYP letter grade (e.g. from A to B) or failure of the FYP:
- Missing or invalid monthly reports (invalid means inadequately filled)
- Any late submission of the proposal or other reports, including monthly reports
- Plagiarism refers to paraphrasing or quoting of other people’s work and/or using others’ ideas without appropriate acknowledgement. Students please be very careful about rephrasing or excessive quoting from other sources and make sure to cite all sources. Reports will be checked through Turnitin. Those suspected of containing plagiarized material, including unreferenced diagrams, will be referred to the department for investigation and will be penalized accordingly, including failure of the FYP.
