Eligibility of students for an “alternative assessment”

Referencing requirements for assignments

Statements, assertions and ideas made in coursework should be supported by citing relevant
sources. Sources cited in the text should be listed at the end of the assignment in a reference
list. Any material that you read but do not cite in the report should go into a separate
bibliography. All referencing should be in Harvard format. If you are not sure about this, the
library provides guidance (available via the library website pages).

The pass mark for the module is 50%. To pass overall, the minimum mark for each assessment
is 50%. (If your mark for an assessment is under 35%, you will be required to complete a
referral assessment and your mark for that will be capped at 50%).

Unless explicitly indicated otherwise all coursework must be submitted electronically via
Blackboard. In addition to the detail given below, further information may be posted onto the
Blackboard site for the module.

Difficulties in submitting assignments on time

If you have difficulties for reasons beyond your control (e.g. serious illness, family problems
etc.) that prevent you from submitting the assignment, make sure you apply to the Mitigating
Circumstances board with evidence to support your claim as soon as possible. The WBS
Registry or your personal tutor can advise on this.

Submitting your coursework – checks

You must include your name, student ID and word count on the first page of your assignment.
Unless indicated otherwise, coursework is submitted via Blackboard. On the Blackboard home
page for the module you will find a button on the menu called “Submit Coursework”. Clicking
this will take you to the submission link.
At busy times the coursework submission process may run slowly. To ensure that your
submission is not recorded as a late submission, avoid submitting very close to the deadline.
To submit your assignment:
instructions.

REMEMBER: It is a requirement that you submit your work in this way. All coursework must
be submitted by 13.00 (1.00 p.m.) UK time on the due date. If you submit your coursework
late but within 24 hours or one “working” day of the specified deadline, 10% of the overall
marks available for that assessment will be deducted as a penalty for late submission, except
for work which is marked in the range 50-59%, in which case the mark will be capped at the
pass mark (50%).

If you submit your coursework more than 24 hours or more than one “working” day after the
specified deadline you will be given a mark of zero for the work in question. The University’s
mitigating circumstances procedures relating to the non-submission or late submission of
coursework apply to all coursework. If you are unclear about this, speak to your class leader or
module leader.

Academic integrity

What you submit for assessment must be your own current work. It will automatically be
scanned through a text matching system to check for possible plagiarism. Do not reuse material
from other assessments that you may have completed on other modules. Collusion with other
students (except when working in groups), recycling previous assignments (unless this is
explicitly allowed by the module leader) and/or plagiarism (copying) of other sources all are
offences and are dealt with accordingly. If you are not sure about this, then speak to your
module leader.
Quality & Standards statement:

Plagiarism is a particular form of cheating. Plagiarism must be avoided at all costs and students
who break the rules, however innocently, will be penalised. It is your responsibility to ensure
that you understand correct referencing practices. As a University level student, you are
expected to use appropriate references and keep carefully detailed notes of all your sources of
material, including any material downloaded from the www.

Plagiarism is defined as submission for assessment of material (written, visual or oral)

originally produced by another person or persons, without acknowledgement, in such a way
that the work could be assumed to be your own. Plagiarism may involve the unattributed use
of another person’s work, ideas, opinions, theory, facts, statistics, graphs, models, paintings,
performance, computer code, drawings, quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written
words, or paraphrases of another person’s spoken or written words. Plagiarism covers both
direct copying and copying or paraphrasing with only minor adjustments:

• A direct quotation from a text must be indicated by the use of quotation marks (or an
indented paragraph in italics for a substantive section) and the source of the quote (title,
author, page number and date of publication) provided;
• A paraphrased summary must be indicated by attribution of the author, date and source
of the material including page numbers for the section(s) which have been summarised.
