Presenting coursework for assessment


Your assignment when submitted should not include your name but rather your
student number and the assessment name– we use a system of anonymous
marking to reduce the risk of any unconscious bias. For some authentic
assessments, there may be an exception to this, so please confirm with your Module
Leader. Please only include your student number and module code and
assignment Part B in the file name for submission. Eg of the file name
“123456_BMGT7073_assignmentPartB.docx”

Please use 1 and half spacing for the formatting with headings for the report. Please
use Arial font which is 12 points.

Assignment length / equivalent


Whilst we acknowledge that learners will prepare and produce assessments in
different ways and at different paces, an indication as to how much time it will take
you to prepare, produce, edit and submit this assessment is detailed below.

The summative assessment, which is a report, requires 52 hours of preparation


where students spend part of those hours researching, understanding the context
and writing. However, the major part will be spent on summarising, analysing the
models and frameworks and doing research to support your decisions.

Use of Turnitin
The new Turnitin policy effective from September 2022 can be found via this link.
You are expected to be familiar with it. It is important to know that the reference list
and quotations are included in the overall similarity report, and that these matches
are expected and not problematic.

For more information on how to interpret your similarity index report, please refer to
this link.

Submission instructions
A submission link will appear on the module’s Moodle page under the ‘assessment’
section via Turnitin drop box, where you will be able to upload the elements of your
portfolio (analytical report and solved excel files). You are advised to submit the
assessment well ahead of time since you need to account for any technical glitches
on the day of the submission as it may coincide with other modules’ deadlines and
Turnitin the server may experience some web traffic. If you are an ISP student, you
will be given an extension as per your allowance in banner. Also, if you have an
exceptional circumstances (ECs) extension, this will be reflected on your deadline
and for those students who have ISPs.

How your work will be marked


Once the submission date has past your module tutors will begin to mark your work.
There are a number of phases to this which ensure fairness is maintained across the
whole team including a pre-marking calibration meeting, marking and post-marking
internal moderation of grades. Following internal moderation, a sample of work is
reviewed by the External Examiner for the programme to ensure that the standards
applied are comparable to those at other institutions. To read how your work is
moderated please go to your programme handbook for details.

Feedback
Feedback on your work will be provided in a range of ways at various times
throughout this module, and different feedback will serve slightly different purposes.
Feedback is designed to support your learning and help you to improve subsequent
work, so you need to engage and get the most out of the feedback provided.
Please note that feedback is provided throughout the module not just on formally
assessed tasks. It will be provided on your work and contribution in class, on the
formal assessment tasks and, in some circumstances, during student office hours.

If you would like further information about feedback, or how to use it, please talk to
your academic tutor on this module or your Academic Adviser or Programme Lead.

Assessment feedback will normally be provided within 15 working days of


submission. Please note that all marks are provisional until they are ratified by an
Examination Committee.
