Assessment Details

Coursework

Assessment 1

This module requires you to submit your work online.

You MUST submit your work through MyBeckett using the link set up by the tutor. Receipt of your work will be recorded.

Your "Turnitin assignments" in MyBeckett can be set up so that you can check your assignment yourself as you submit it. This checking is done by creating a "Similarity Report". If this report shows that there are some problems with your work, such as un-cited quotations, you should be able to make corrections and re- submit the work again before the due date.

Particular Instructions to Students

Please read carefully the assessment and grade/marking descriptors overleaf:

Feedback on Your Assessments

Feedback forms a large part of your learning experience and is vital to your personal and professional development. Whatever your academic level, building on your feedback is vital. Noting and acting on feedback is key to independent learning, continued progress and long-term success.

Formative feedback will be exchanged during the timetabled workshops and via group and individual tutorials with your research supervisor.

Summative feedback will be available to students following grading and moderation by the staff team.

Understanding Your Assessment Responsibilities

Extenuating Circumstances and Mitigation

If you are experiencing problems which are adversely affecting your ability to study (called 'extenuating circumstances'), then you can apply for mitigation.

The University operates a fit to sit/fit to submit approach to extenuating circumstances which means students who take their assessment are declaring themselves fit to do so.

Late Submission

Without any form of extenuating circumstances, standard penalties apply for late submission of assessed work. Details of the penalties for late submission of course work are available in the Academic Regulations.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a fundamental principle within the University and is strongly linked to good academic practice. All assessments must be submitted with due attention to issues of academic integrity, expression, and good academic practice, including clarity in grammar, semantics and syntax.

Any suspected breach of academic integrity will be investigated by the University and could have serious consequences on your studies. Breaches of academic integrity include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. Definitions and the potential consequences of an admitted or found breach of academic integrity are detailed in the Academic Regulations, section 10 Academic.

Academic Integrity and Research Ethics

All dissertations/research projects require research ethics approval and you must submit your ethical approval notification with your assignment for the assessment to be marked. This includes assignments such as literature reviews using information in the public domain that are approved by research supervisors (risk category one projects).

You must follow the guidance provided on your module regarding obtaining ethical approval and it is your responsibility to ensure you have received ethical approval evidence prior to any data collection.

Our Academic Integrity Regulations also apply to academic integrity breaches and unfair practices related to research ethics and dissertations including, but not limited to, the following:

Non-compliance with the University’s Research Ethics Policy and Research Ethics Procedures;
Failure to gain ethical approval for the submitted work;
Failure to gain ethical approval before data collection (i.e., retrospective approval cannot be requested);
Changing the project’s details after ethical approval has been given, without seeking further approval;
Falsifying data;
Plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, submitting another person’s work as your assignment and contract cheating.

Your Feedback on the Module

A mid-module review will be timetabled into your module by week 7. This is an opportunity to resolve modular issues promptly early on in the module. In addition, you will have the opportunity to provide feedback formally at the end of your module-. These comments will be reviewed by your course team and some may be considered via the course monitoring and enhancement process, in which your Course Representative is involved.
