MIS771 Assignment Two

Background

Assignment Two is an individual assignment. You need to analyse the given dataset and then interpret and draw conclusions from your analysis. You then need to convey your findings in a written report to an expert in Business Analytics.

Submission instructions

The assignment must be submitted by the due date electronically in CloudDeakin. When submitting electronically, you must check that you have submitted the work correctly by following the instructions provided in CloudDeakin. Please note that we will NOT accept any paper or email copies or part of the assignment submitted after the due date.

Information for students seeking an extension BEFORE the due date

If you wish to seek an extension for this assignment before the due date, you need to apply directly to the Unit Chair by completing the Assignment and Online Test Extension Application Form before Thursday 5 pm 16^th September 2021. Please make sure you attach all supporting documentation and a draft of your assignment. The request for an extension needs to occur as soon as you become aware that you will have difficulty meeting the due date.

Please note: Unit Chairs can only grant extensions up to two weeks beyond the original due date. Therefore, if you require more than two weeks or have already been provided with an extension by the Unit Chair and require additional time, you must apply for Special Consideration via StudentConnect within three business days of the due date.

Conditions under which an extension will usually be considered include:

• Medical – to cover medical conditions of a severe nature, e.g. hospitalisation, severe injury or chronic

Note: temporary minor ailments such as headaches, colds, and minor gastric upsets are not severe medical conditions and are unlikely to be accepted. However, severe cases of these may be considered.

• Compassionate – e.g. death of a close family member, significant family and relationship
• Hardship/Trauma – e.g. sudden loss or gain of employment, severe disruption to domestic arrangements, a victim of crime.

Note: misreading the due date, assignment anxiety, or multiple assignments will not be accepted as grounds for consideration.

Information for students seeking an extension AFTER the due date

If the due date has passed, you require more than two weeks, or you have already been provided with an extension and require additional time, you must apply for Special Consideration via StudentConnect. Please be aware that applications are governed by University procedures and must be submitted within three business days of the due date or extension due date.

Please be aware that in most instances, the maximum amount of time that can be granted for an assignment extension is three weeks after the due date, as Unit Chairs are required to have all assignments submitted before results/feedback can be released back to students.

Penalties for late submission

The following marking penalties will apply if you submit an assessment task after the due date without an approved extension:

• 5% will be deducted from available marks for each day, or part thereof, up to five
• Work submitted more than five days after the due date will not be marked; you will receive 0% for the task.

Note: 'Day' means calendar day.

The Unit Chair may refuse to accept a late submission where it is unreasonable or impracticable to assess the task after the due date.
