Places and times for assessment will be posted here, but for the final exam also cross-check against the entry at the ANU timetabling information centre.

Postponing assessments is always possible with good reason. Good reasons are mostly issues which are not under your control. If you e.g. feel sick on the day of an assessment, please do not sit the exam. See a doctor instead and provide a certificate which indicates your condition. If you already know beforehand that a specific assessment date or deadline does not work for you, then contact us right away and we will work something out for you. In the interest of fairness we obviously will always require good reasons, which is specific to you and not under your control. All supplementary assessments are oral examinations.

If studying previous exam papers, please note that the underlying material changes between years. This year the course was significantly updated. Thus material from previous exam papers is only partly relevant for 2012. There will be an exam preparation lecture where the style and the relevant material for 2012 is discussed in detail.
