Sometimes one of the effects of putting an assignment back is that you have to put the others back too, or else the sequence of marking and returning work gets snarled. 

This has happened in AM1111. Because we put the first assignment back to help late arrivals to the class, we think it is best to put the others back too.

The next assignment is the iterative essay. That's an essay that you write twice. The first time we grade it, the second time we grade the improvements you make to it in response to our comments. It's a way of trying to get students to understand the importance not just of essays but of feedback and drafts. As you are required to re-write it, we need to make space for you to consult with us. That all pushes things back.

So, here is the change to assignment schedule:

The Iterative Essay is now due Week 9. 

We will return it to you three weeks later, Wk 11. 

That leaves you time to have a tutorial (in person or by email) in Wk12, which also gives you a chance to review your progress with us.

That inevitably means the rewrite now has to be due on the first day of semester 2.
