 Assignment

For this module you will complete three assignments:

Assignments must be submitted to BMM3113 via Turnitin by 12.00 noon on

the deadline day.

Semester 1 - Assessment 1

The first assessment is the submission of a 1000 word portfolio based on course
activities and workshops.

Assessment – Portfolio: You are required to create and submit a portfolio based on
your lectures, activities and workshops. The portfolio must have been assessed by your
Lecturer/ Assessor prior to submitting on the correct Turnitin link. The portfolio, literature
review and presentation must be submitted to the correct Turnitin link. You must
successfully complete all three elements to pass the module.

Semester 2 - Assessment 2

Assessment 2 is an assessed small group presentation (15 minutes).

Assessment - Presentation: You will give a group presentation with your fellow
colleagues. Each group member is required to deliver equal amount of presentation.
The presentation will be assessed and may also include peer evaluation as well.

Semester 2 - Assessment 3

 Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a form of cheating which involves presenting another person’s ideas or
expressions without acknowledging the source. The penalties for this are severe.
Extensive and repeated instances can result in your removal from the degree
programme. It is therefore very important that you understand how to avoid being
accused of plagiarism. Any work submitted for assessment must, unless
collaborative work has been specifically permitted in the assignment guidelines, be
your own work. Any material used, from whatever source, must be clearly
acknowledged. Any words that are not your own should be shown as quotes and
their author and publication details given. Where you paraphrase the words of
another you should make this clear and give details of where you found this material.
You should make use of the referencing guidelines on the Library website and
complete the online plagiarism tutorial to ensure that you are providing such details
correctly https://lib.leedstrinity.ac.uk/iguana/www.main.cls?surl=Referencing Doing
so will gain you marks for showing evidence of research and ability to reference. Not
doing so could lead to accusations of plagiarism. You can also use Turnitin in
advance of the deadline to enable you to check for elements of plagiarism in your
work and then correct these.

Students will be made aware of how to avoid plagiarism as part of the induction
process and within the initial stages of the programme of study, as well as how to
incorporate correct referencing into their written work. The library provides
Referencing Guides, online tutorials and one-to-one support. Students can also
obtain advice on appropriate academic conventions from the Learning Hub and
advice on a specific piece of assessment is available from the module tutor.

As is a form of dishonesty which is viewed by the University as a serious offence.

The University’s Regulations contain provisions by which the Examination Board
may penalise students who are found to have presented plagiarised work for
assessment. The purpose of this statement is to explain what plagiarism is. Further
information about the procedures which are followed where allegations of plagiarism
are made, together with the penalties that may be imposed, can be found in the
above Regulations.

Plagiarism consists of presenting someone else’s work as your own. Some

examples of plagiarism are:
 reproducing or paraphrasing published material without acknowledgement of
the source
 copying from the work of another student
 undeclared collusion with another student
 getting someone else to do your work for you

 This is not an exhaustive list. There are clearly degrees of plagiarism, particularly
where published work is concerned. At one extreme there may be a very short
section of a coursework which is copied without being properly referenced; at the
other extreme a coursework may consist almost entirely of copied work.
Students who are found to have colluded in making their work available to be copied
by others will not themselves be deemed to have committed plagiarism but will be
dealt with under the student disciplinary procedures described in the Students’
Handbook of Regulations. Similarly, disciplinary action will be taken against any
student who is found to have undertaken a coursework on behalf of another.

Submission Formats

All assignments should be submitted through TURNITIN to Moodle whenever

possible. If necessary, for the nature of the work, alternative methods may be used.
For each piece of assessment, the assignment (or assessment) brief will indicate the
method of submission. Students should be advised to retain a copy of their
submitted assignment (or assessment) however submitted, where practicable e.g.
this may not be possible with artefacts.

Penalties for Late Submissions

 If you submit coursework after the given deadline, or agreed deadline

extension, your submission will be marked as a fail.
 If you submit coursework after the given deadline, you may also ask that we
excuse your lateness. We will consider such requests in accordance with the
Mitigating Circumstances Policy and Procedure. The tests we will use are:
a. your late submission was for a good reason, and
b. you could not reasonably have asked for an extension before the deadline.
 In any event, coursework submitted more than five days after the original
deadline, or any agreed extension, will not be marked, and will be counted as
a failure. This helps us to keep track of all the work that has to be marked and
returned to students
Please note all coursework for the Foundation Year is marked on a pass/fail basis.
Where coursework is marked on a pass/fail basis and it is submitted late then it will
automatically be deemed to be a fail and will be awarded a mark of zero.
Therefore, late submission of Foundation Year coursework should be avoided
at all costs, as assignments will be automatically failed.

 Marking Scheme / Criteria

Internal examiners, within a programme team, are responsible for the setting,
internal marking and internal moderation of assessments – they may standardise,
first mark, sample and double mark assessments. First markers must provide, for
each piece of work presented for assessment, comments outlining the reasons for
the mark awarded. Internal examiners submit marks to the Assessment Panel
responsible for the module concerned.

Assignment Criteria/Marking Schemes/Marking Criteria

 Coursework is marked by internal examiners against the focused assignment
(or assessment) criteria, the marking scheme and the marking criteria, as
defined within the assignment brief.
 Examinations are marked by internal examiners against the focused
assessment criteria, the marking scheme and the generic marking descriptors

We will assess your achievement of the learning outcomes for the programme in
each year. Programme schemes will set out the assessment framework. This will
take one of the following forms:

a. Assessment associated with each module individually; combined to form an

overall judgement.

b. Integrated assessments associated with all the material covered.

The relevant Assessment Panel will consider your results and the marks to be
awarded.

If you fail an assessment you may resit the assessment twice.
