We start by restating the question and listing the given answer options to orient the discussion.
Question: Some assessments receive a mark of zero if not completed by/on the specified date as for them a late penalty may not be appropriate. Which of the following options are not examples of such assessment tasks?
Answer options:
- weekly online tests or laboratory work worth a small proportion of the subject mark
- online quizzes where answers are released to students on completion
- professional assessment tasks, where the intention is to create an authentic assessment that has an absolute submission date
- take-home exam papers that are assessed during a defined time period
- project presentation worth of 15% of the subject mark
- pass/fail assessment tasks

Option 1: weekly online tests or laboratory work worth a small proportion of the subject mark. In many curricula, these are tightly time-bound and may incur a penalty or even a zero if not submitted by the deadline, especially when the policy specifies no late submissions for certain items or assigns a fixed cut-off. This type of task often carries a clear deadline and possible late penalties or zero marks, so it is commonly an example of the policy described. Therefore, this option is likely an example of tasks that could be zeroed if late, not an option that is not an example.

Option 2: online quizzes where answers are released to students on completion. If answers are released immediately upon submission, late submissions are typically not allowed or do not apply in the same way, and the system may prevent late submission or not count late work. This makes it less consistent with an assessment that would automatically receive a zero for late completion, and it may not fit the described policy depending on implementation. It is plausible this could be structured as not an example of zero-for-late rules.

Option 3: professional assessment tasks, where the intention is to create an authentic assessment that has an absolute submission date. Even though the submission date is absolute, professional or authentic assessments often require adherence to a firm deadline; some policies still apply strict late penalties or even disallow late submissions. However, because the wording emphasizes an absolute submission date, this could be aligned with the zero-if-late policy in many contexts, making it more likely to be an example of the described rule rather than not.

Option 4: take-home exam papers that are assessed during a defined time period. Take-home exams usually have a defined window for submission and assessment, and many institutions allow late submissions with penalties or sometimes a mark reduction rather than an immediate zero. This makes it less clear as an absolute non-example; it can still be subject to late penalties, so it tends to align with the policy where late submissions are not always zero. Depending on policy, it could be either, but it often involves a grace structure rather than an automatic zero.

Option 5: project presentation worth of 15% of the subject mark. A project presentation is typically scheduled at a fixed time, but if the policy states zero for late completion only for certain components (and presentations are sometimes allowed to be rescheduled with penalties rather than an automatic zero), this item could be not an example of a zero-for-late approach if the course allows exceptions or extensions. In many settings, presentations can be rescheduled with penalties rather than receiving a bare zero, so this can be considered an example of a task that is not automatically zeroed by lateness.

Option 6: pass/fail assessment tasks. Pass/fail components often have different stopping rules (e.g., meeting a competency standard) and may not be punished with a zero in the same way as graded components if submitted late; some programs allow late submissions to still be considered for passing, or have defined criteria that bypass the zero rule. This makes it plausible that pass/fail tasks are not automatic zeros for late submission, aligning with the idea of not being an example of the described zero-for-late policy.

Synthesis: The question asks which options are not examples of assessments that would automatically receive a zero if not completed by the deadline. Based on typical assessment design, items that are less likely to be governed by a strict zero-for-late rule include project presentations (Option 5) and pass/fail tasks (Option 6), where extensions, rescheduling, or alternative criteria can apply, and the policy may emphasize competency over a raw deadline. The other options frequently involve more rigid deadlines, automated penalties, or zero-for-late rules depending on institutional policy, making them more typical examples of the described practice. In short, the items that stand out as not being strict zero-for-late examples are the project presentation (Option 5) and pass/fail assessment tasks (Option 6), though exact policies can vary by institution.
