Further academic support at BCU is also available. This can be accessed via the Academic Development Department (ADD). Details of which can be found on the city and the assessment page of Moodle. You can also book a literature searching session with a librarian. 

Throughout the module, support for preparation for your assessment will be available, including peer observations, formative simulation, and ongoing feedback from practical sessions. 

Further specific guidance for your summative assessment: 

• Graphics should be a key element of the presentation and reinforce the text. Your artistic ability, however, is not being assessed. Use electronic means of copying, but reference the sources. 
• If you intend to refer to numerical data in your presentation, we strongly recommend the use of tables, graphs, etc.
• During your examination, you must not read from notes verbatim. As you will be giving a presentation, you are advised to structure your slides to guide your verbal explanations. Further guidance on this will be given during the module.
• Your presentation must be fully referenced. A reference list using the Harvard system must be presented.
