The course-wide rules for late work, extensions, academic integrity and getting help.

Policies and support#

Late work#

Work submitted after the deadline loses 5% of the available marks per day, to a maximum of five days, after which it is not accepted. The midterm has no late-work provision — it is sat in tutorial, under the conditions described on its page, or not at all.

Extensions#

Ask your tutor before the deadline, not after. A short, specific reason is enough; you do not need to disclose more than that. Extensions requested after work is already late are considered case by case and are not guaranteed.

Academic integrity#

The analysis must be yours. Discussing a case with a classmate is encouraged — half the point of a market is that other people see things in it you don’t — but the signal design, the redesign, and the argument you submit must be your own work, correctly cited where it draws on someone else’s. The work must be yours; the market failure isn’t.

Every persona, profile, and case used across this course’s assessments is fictional. Submitting a real, identifiable person’s real profile or relationship — yours or anyone else’s — is itself a breach, independent of what mark it might earn.

Getting help#

Tutorials are the first place to ask — bring the specific thing you’re stuck on, not a general “I don’t get it.” Outside tutorial hours, contact your tutor directly; contact details are on the people page.
