Each quiz is worth 15% of your final raw mark. You must sit for the quiz during the tutorial in which you are enrolled. Your quiz mark will not be recorded if you sit for the quiz in a tutorial in which you are not enrolled. Assignments. One assignment will be marked, and will be worth 5% your final raw mark. The assignment will be due on Thursday 20 May. Please see page 26 of the Junior Mathematics Handbook for details relating to the submission of assignments.

Course Goals
This unit contributes to the achievement of the following course goals:
| Attribute | Practiced | Assessed |
| Scientific problem-solving | No | 100% |
These goals are selected from Engineering/IT Graduate Attribute Matrix 2009 which defines overall goals for courses where this unit is primarily offered. See Engineering/IT Graduate Attribute Matrix 2009 for details of the attributes and levels to be developed in the course as a whole. Percentage figures alongside each course goal provide a rough indication of their relative weighting in assessment for this unit. Note that not all goals are necessarily part of assessment. Some may be more about practice activity. See Learning outcomes for details of what is assessed in relation to each goal and Assessment for details of how the outcome is assessed. See Attributes for details of practice provided for each goal.
