Guidelines for Completion and Submission

Plagiarism and Collusion

In submitting the assignment, Learners must complete a statement of authenticity confirming that the work submitted for all tasks is their own. The statement should also include the word count. UKPDA recommends the following to check plagiarism/similarity. 

Learners are required to attach the similarity report in the submission slot or email it to the tutor. Plagiarism and collusion are treated very seriously. Plagiarism involves presenting work, excerpts, ideas or passages of another author without appropriate referencing and attribution.
Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit work that is so alike in ideas, content, wording and/or structure that the similarity goes beyond what might have been mere coincidence

Referencing

A professional approach to work is expected from all learners. Learners must therefore identify and acknowledge ALL sources/methodologies/applications used.

The learner must use the Harvard Referencing system to achieve this. Marks are not awarded for the use of English; however, the learner must express ideas clearly and ensure that appropriate terminology is used to convey accuracy in meaning.

Appendices

• You may include appendices to support your work; however, appendices must only contain additional supporting information and must be referenced in your assignment.
• You may also include tables, graphs, diagrams, Gantt charts and flowcharts that support the main report should be incorporated into the end ofthe assignment report that is submitted.
• Any published secondary information, such as annual reports and company literature, should be referenced in the main text of the assignment, in accordance with Harvard Style Referencing, and referenced at the end of the assignment.

Word Count Policy

Learners must comply with the required word count, within a margin of ±10%. These rules exclude the index, headings, tables, images, footnotes, appendices and information contained within references and bibliographies. When an assessment task requires learners to produce presentation slides with supporting notes, the word count applies to the supporting notes only.

Submission of Assignments

All work is to be submitted on the due date. All work must be submitted in a single electronic document (.docx file).
