Key Information

Conditions of Progression

 

To pass the assignment, you must achieve 40% or more.

There are two attempts given for this assessment.

Late or Non-Submission/ Attendance

Assessments must be submitted in the format specified in the assessment task, by the deadline and to the submission point published on Moodle. Failure to submit by the published deadline will result in penalties which are set out in Section 6 of the Academic Regulations, available at:

late-submission-of-assessment-policy-version-10-approved-june-2022-133082470192470694.pdf (windows.net)

Please be aware that the penalties are different for re-submissions and ‘in-year retrievals’.

For in-person assessments, you should arrive 15 minutes before your allocated time slot. Failure to present at your allocated time, will result in you being unable to sit the assessment and you will be recorded as a non-submission, resulting in a grade of 0.  

Word Count

The word count for this module assessment is shown under the assessment task. A +10% margin of tolerance is applied, beyond which nothing further will be marked. Marks cannot be awarded for any learning outcomes addressed outside the word count.

The word count refers to everything in the main body of the text (including headings, tables, citations, quotes, lists etc.). Everything before (i.e. abstract, acknowledgements, contents, executive summaries etc.) and after the main text (i.e. references, appendices) is not included in the word count limit.

For in-person assessments time limits will be applied.

Academic Integrity Guidance

Academic integrity is the attitude of approaching your academic work honestly, by completing your own original work, attributing, and acknowledging your sources when necessary. Understanding good academic practice in written and oral work is a key element of academic integrity. It is a positive aspect of joining an academic community, showing familiarity with, and acknowledging sources of evidence. The skills you require at higher education may differ from those learned elsewhere such as school or college.  

You will be required to follow specific academic conventions which include acknowledging the work of others through appropriate referencing and citation as explicitly as possible. If you include ideas or quotations which have not been appropriately acknowledged, this may be seen as plagiarism which is a form of academic misconduct. If you require support around referencing, please contact the Faculty’s Academic Development Department or the University wide Centre for Academic Success.

It is important to recognise that seeking out learning around academic integrity will help reduce the risk of misconduct in your work. Skills such as paraphrasing, referencing and citation are integral to acting with integrity and you can develop and advance these key academic skills through the Faculty’s Academic Development Department.

Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct is conduct which has or may have the effect of providing you with an unfair advantage by relying on dishonest means to gain advantage and which therefore compromises your academic integrity.

The procedure sets out the process we will follow, and the penalties we may apply, in cases where we believe you may have compromised your academic integrity by committing academic misconduct.  The Academic Misconduct Procedure and information about academic support is available at:

https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Student-Affairs/Appeals-and-Resolutions/Academic-Misconduct-Procedure

Turnitin

To obtain a Turnitin scan before submitting your work to your department please visit the University`s ‘Turnitin at BCU’ Moodle site. Work that is submitted and scanned through this service is not stored on the main Turnitin system and this is NOT your submitted work.

Extenuating Circumstances

For further details on the Extenuating Circumstances Procedure please see the iCity page below:

https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/student-affairs/appeals-and-resolutions/extenuating-circumstances-procedure

Where to get help

The University has a designated student support service known as the Centre for Academic Success. Here you will find support for a range of academic skills. Likewise, you can arrange a consultation with a member of staff from the Academic Development Department based at City South Campus. You also should also review the wide range of support and help from the library.

Resit Period

Our aim is for all students to pass the module at first attempt. However, there are occasions where students fail a module are required to resit their assessment. The formal resit week is Monday 22 July – Friday 02 August 2024. It is important that you are available during this time period, should you be required to resit an assessment.
