Student Guidelines

1. You should write this assignment in an informal report format and should respond to each task
directly and in turn. You should produce a coherently written document i.e. bullet points alone or other
note format will not be acceptable as the final submission. You should also underpin your analysis with
relevant references to theory whilst at the same time ensuring that you write your assignment in your
own words as far as is possible.
You should refer to the assessment criteria for a pass grade to ensure that each criterion has been
covered in your responses to the assignment tasks.
2. You must ensure that the submitted assignment is all your own work and that all sources used are
correctly attributed. Penalties apply to assignments which show evidence of academic unfair practice.
(See the Student Handbook which is in the Induction Area). Please also refer to the Guide to Unfair
Practice in Assessment on the module page.
3. You MUST underpin your analysis and evaluation of the key issues with appropriate and wide ranging
academic research and ensure this is referenced using the Harvard system. The My Study Skills area
contains the following useful resources; Study Skills Guide (containing a Harvard Referencing section) and
a Harvard Referencing Interactive Tutorial. You must use the Harvard Referencing method in your
assignment.
4. You should use diagrams and tables of figures where appropriate ensuring to reference their source
using the Harvard Referencing method.
5. It is advised that you write your informal report within approximately 3000 words in order for your
research and summarising skills to be developed, and for effective time management. You are required to
ensure that the assignment addresses all of the assessment tasks .There is no penalty for being over
the suggested word count, however, in the interests of good academic practice, assignments
submitted with excessive word counts (e.g. over 3500 words) may be returned to students and asked to
be reduced before marking.
The word count excludes the title page, reference list and appendices. Where assessment questions
have been reprinted from the assessment brief these will also be excluded from the word count. ALL
other printed words ARE included in the word count. Printed words include those contained
within charts and tables.

6. Your assignment should be submitted as a single document. For more information please see the
Guide to Submitting an Assignment document available on the module page.
