WHAT IS ELE?
This module is designed to improve your written and oral
communication skills, and give you a stronger foundation for
the other communication modules you will be taking in NP.

The module is pass/fail, and is not credit-bearing, so it will

not affect your GPA. However, your result for ELE will still
appear on your transcript, and you are expected to pass the
module, in order to carry on with your communications
module in Semester Two.

the whole semester.

Lessons will still follow your timetabled classes, and will

make use of a variety of platforms – don’t worry, your tutor
will take you through these!

ASSESSMENTS
Assessment tasks and rubrics can be found on MeL.
Late Submission
For each day past the deadline, 10% of the total possible marks will
be deducted up to a maximum of 7 calendar days, after which a zero
mark is given. You can request for an extension only if there is a
valid reason supported by a valid document such as a medical
certificate.
Plagiarism
All assignments must be your original work. Do not attempt to copy
from any source. If you are found to have copied from any source
e.g online source or another student’s work, you will receive a zero
mark. Do NOT lend anyone a copy of your assignment for reference
because both lender and borrower will get a zero mark.
