How to Submit your Assessment 

The assessment must be submitted by 12:00 noon (GMT/BST) on 25/10/2024. No paper copies are required. You can access the submission link through the module web. 

• Your coursework will be given a zero mark if you do not submit a copy through Turnitin. Please take care to ensure that you have fully submitted your work. 

• Please ensure that you have submitted your work using the correct file format, unreadable files will receive a mark of zero. The Faculty accepts Microsoft Office and PDF documents, unless otherwise advised by the module leader. 

• All work submitted after the submission deadline without a valid and approved reason will be subject to the University regulations on late submissions. 

o If an assessment is submitted up to 24 hours late the mark for the work will be capped at the  pass mark of 40 per cent for undergraduate modules or 50 per cent for postgraduate modules o If an assessment is submitted beyond 24 hours late the work will receive a mark of zero per  cent 

o The above applies to a student’s first attempt at the assessment. If work submitted as a  reassessment of a previously failed assessment task is submitted later than the deadline the  work will immediately be given a mark of zero per cent 

o If an assessment which is marked as pass/fail rather than given a percentage mark is  submitted later than the deadline, the work will immediately be marked as a fail 

• The University wants you to do your best. However, we know that sometimes events happen  which mean that you can’t submit your coursework by the deadline – these events should be  beyond your control and not easy to predict. If this happens, you can apply for an extension  to your deadline for up to five working days, or if you need longer, you can apply for a  deferral, which takes you to the next assessment period (for example, to the re-sit period  following the main Assessment Boards). You must apply before the deadline for your  assessment. You will find information about applying for extensions and deferrals here. 

• Students MUST keep a copy and/or an electronic file of their assignment. • Checks will be made on your work using anti-plagiarism software and approved plagiarism checking websites.

Return of Marked Work 

You can expect to have feedback returned to you on 15/11/2024 (15 working days). If for any reason there is a delay you will be kept informed. Marks and feedback will be provided online/in class/face to face. It is important that you access the feedback you receive as this will help to make improvements to your later work, you can request a meeting with your Module Leader or Personal Tutor to discuss your feedback in more detail. 

Marks will have been internally moderated only and will therefore be provisional; your mark will be formally agreed later in the year once the external examiner has completed their review. More information on assessment and feedback can be found here.
