Assignment Overview The actual tasks are given in the lab sessions and will start with the first few pages, which need to be downloaded from Learning@Griffith before, in order to work on the preliminary questions. The preliminary questions must be completed before taking the lab. A separate lab report is not necessary, as the answers are entered directly into the online system.

The student is responsible for a suitable PC, software, and reliable internet connection during this task, as no special considerations can be given based on technical difficulties.

Brief Summary of Assessment Requirements The assessment is designed as a lab-based task that focuses on student preparedness, independent problem-solving, and accurate submission through an online system. Rather than submitting a traditional lab report, students are required to directly enter their responses during the lab session.

Key Requirements and Pointers: Pre-lab preparation is mandatory: Students must download the initial pages of the assessment from Learning@Griffith before attending the lab.

Completion of preliminary questions: These questions must be completed prior to the lab session to ensure readiness for the actual tasks.

Lab-based execution: The main assessment tasks are delivered during scheduled lab sessions.

Direct online submission: Answers are entered directly into the university’s online system; no separate lab report is required.

Technical responsibility lies with the student: Students must ensure access to a suitable PC, required software, and a stable internet connection, as technical issues are not grounds for special consideration.
