This coursework is intended to help you meet and assess your achievement of the module learning outcomes, identified below, and develop a range of personal transferable skills. The grade awarded will contribute to your grade for this module and your overall level and course aggregate grade. The assessment criteria are clearly set out within the coursework brief and it is in your own interests to ensure that your work addresses the assessment criteria clearly and in an appropriate manner and logical sequence. If you are unsure or unclear about any aspect of what is required of you, you should contact the coursework author or module leader straight away.

Submission Instructions

1. Your coursework must be submitted as an electronic copy in Microsoft Word format/ PDF
2. The electronic ‘Microsoft Word’ PDF version of your coursework must be submitted to the Module Drop Box which is located in the module learning room on NOW; it should be uploaded no later than the coursework submission date given above. The coursework will automatically be assessed by the web-based text-match tool, Turnitin UK. Only one, final version of your work may be submitted to the Drop Box. Once submitted you cannot revise your submission; you have only one opportunity to submit. Failure to submit your work to the Drop box by the submission deadline will delay assessment of your work and may result in your work being deemed a late submission and thereby subject to late submission assessment penalty.

Presentation Requirements

• The coursework must be typed; 12 point Arial font must be used throughout for the main body of the work.
• Line spacing must be 1.5 lines.
• Top, bottom, left and right margins must be at least 30mm.
• The coursework must be presented ‘single side’ typed (not double sided).
• The core pages of the submission must be paginated.
• The coursework must not extend beyond the word limit specified above. Any work after this word limit has been reached will not be marked.  The word limit includes tables, figures and footnotes but excludes the bibliography and/or list of references unless specifically directed otherwise by the module leader.

Submission using Turnitin

Turnitin is an online system that checks documents for text matches against its database of papers, articles and web pages. When a piece of coursework is submitted to Turnitin, an Originality Report is generated, which highlights instances of text matching. At NTU, Turnitin is integrated into NOW, via the use of the Dropbox.

The draft submission folder allows you to upload your work in advance of the final deadline, so you can make use of the Originality Report that is generated. The Originality Report shows repeated text from other sources within the Turnitin database, and can be used as a tool to improve your understanding of academic integrity and referencing.

To prevent the software from detecting similarities in re-submitted work, you should use the same file name when uploading work. This will be mean that the files will be exempt from checking.

All submissions will be date-stamped and late submissions will be highlighted to tutors. Please ensure work is uploaded before the deadline as computer issues are not an accepted reason for late submissions and may incur penalty.
