No they can't reduce your mark, if its an A grade then its an A grade. But I believe they can refuse to mark it and not enter you for the module (I believe but I may be wrong) However, I doubt anyone would ever do this as it is no advantage to them or their student.

They can lie to you and tell you they have. Also they can not enter it, but I don't know any teacher who would do that because it's just a bit mean :frown:

If the deadline's an exam board one, then you may not be allowed to submit it/may have your marks reduced. If it's an internal one, I suppose the teacher could reduce your marks but it would hardly be in their interests to do so. Still a possibility though.........

If its an internal deadline - plead and work your butt off for the next week, your teacher will most likely relent. If its a unmissable exam board deadline - and the cwd have been sent off - well you're scupered unless you can produce valid medical evidence for a appeal. Alternatively submit your coursework for the next session ie - June.

What's if you've missed the internal deadline by 1 month.

As it's only an internal deadline, I don't think the teacher can reduce your mark, but I'm not 100% sure. As others have said, they could just refuse to mark it and not enter you, but it's not exactly going to reflect well on them if someone in their class does badly, so I very much doubt they'd do that, although they may well threaten to. I lost count of the amount of internal deadlines my teachers set for coursework and some of them were broken by much more than a month, so if your teachers are as lenient as mine were, you'll be fine as long as you don't miss the exam board deadline.

Yep - usually internal deadlines are generous because teachers know this sort of thing happens - and they're inherently a lil bit lazy too :biggrin:

If we enter our Biology coursework late, we get 0.

I don't get this at all, coursework mark schemes are like..

Methodology [10 marks]

7-10 Excellent
6-4 Very Good
3-2 Satisfactory

or whatever... there's nowt about meeting deadlines - what's that got to do with the individual mark/level descriptors??!

Quote from the sheet I was given about our Biology cwk:

Last year we had no late reports. The exam board insist that any late should not be marked and a 0 mark given. If you fail to meet the deadlines you have advantaged yourself by taking more time than other candidates who have adhered to the deadlines.

Hope that helped :wink:

But is there anything official from the exam boards that says that? It could just be a threat to get you to get the work in on time. The only way you'd be advantaging yourself is if you miss the official exam-board deadline. Exam boards probably don't have a record of when each centres internal deadlines are.

I think it's likely to be an empty threat as well, but it's probably best not to put that theory to the test just in case!

Well judging by this:

I'd say so. And our teachers don't mark it, so it's not internal, it has to be sent to the exam board by the 5th of march. It's the official exam board deadline.

I know for a fact that my teachers just wouldn't send it off.

They have the right to not accept the coursework as its after the deadline, but if they do accept it than they cannot deduct marks.

Some people in my year didn't hand their GCSE science coursework in on time and got zero. We did 3 pieces though and only got the best 2 marked or something like that. If it was your only piece it's highly unlikely that your teacher would deduct marks or refuse to mark it. Exam board deadlines are the important ones.

as most people have said, internal ones, can be flexible to a point, but miss the external ones n your done for.

However, i know that for my physics coursework, there were marks for intiative and independence, (or something like that) which basically means u get less marks in that section if u hand it in late.
