The Claim

In the Nelson Mandela University module Construction Technology (DCT2000), a late submission submitted without an approved extension is excluded from the calculation of the final mark.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Available Nelson Mandela University sources do not show that DCT2000 excludes an unapproved late submission from the final-mark calculation. The only relevant NMU guidance in the evidence set describes discretionary lateness penalties through mark deductions, not automatic exclusion. Since the claim makes a specific, categorical assertion about one module, and the evidence does not confirm it, the claim is not supported.

Caveats

  • No current DCT2000 study guide or official module document in the evidence set states the claimed exclusion rule.
  • Several cited sources are from other universities or generic background material and cannot establish Nelson Mandela University module policy.
  • A deduction for lateness is not the same as excluding work from the final-mark calculation; the available NMU guidance points to deductions, not exclusion.
