Important University assessment rules for you to note:
- Please submit an electronic copy of your assignment through Turnitin. You can access the Turnitin link through the module web.
- The electronic version of your assignment may be used to enable checks to be made using anti-plagiarism software and approved plagiarism checking websites. Your course work will be given a zero mark if you do not submit a copy through Turnitin.
- All work submitted after the submission deadline without an approved valid reason (see below) will be given a mark of zero. (This is not the same as a nonsubmission, which will be graded as AB (absent).
- Should you submit work on time but fail the assignment, you may be offered a resit opportunity at the discretion of the PAB (Programme Assessment Board). A resit module mark will be capped at 40%.
- The University wants you to do your best. However we know that sometimes events happen which mean that you cant submit your coursework by the deadline these events should be beyond your control and not easy to predict. If this happens, you can apply for an extension to your deadline for up to two weeks, or if you need longer, you can apply for a deferral, which takes you to the next assessment period (for example, to the resit period following the main Assessment Boards). You must apply before the deadline.
- You will find information about the process and what is or is not considered to be an event beyond your control at: https://share.coventry.ac.uk/students/Registry/Pages/Deferrals-andExtension.aspx
- If, on the final submission date, Turnitin is not working then you must email a copy of your work to the module leader before the deadline time. This email will provide evidence that you have completed the work on time. Once Turnitin is working again you can then submit your assignment through it for marking. Consider taking screenshots of the problem you encountered as supportive evidence if needed.
- If you think that you will need an extension or deferral please ensure that you contact the Administrative Support person or office linked to your Course to process the request. This information will normally be found in your Course Handbook. Alternatively seek advice from your Course Director or Registry team if you are unsure.
NOTE: The M003CRB module teaching team cannot process or approve
extension or deferral requests.
- Students MUST keep a copy and/or an electronic file of their assignment.
Plagiarism
As part of your study you will be involved in carrying out research and using this when writing up your coursework. It is important that you correctly acknowledge someone elses writing or thoughts and that you do not attempt to pass this off as your own work. Doing so is known as plagiarism. It is not acceptable to copy from another source without acknowledging that it is someone elses writing or thinking. This includes using paraphrasing as well as direct quotations. You are expected to correctly cite and reference the works of others. The Centre for Academic Writing provides documents to help you get this right. If you are unsure, please visit http://www.coventry.ac.uk/caw.
Assessors are able to spot cases of plagiarism. The Faculty insists that coursework is submitted through a plagiarism detection system known as Turnitin. Copying another students work, large sections from a book or the internet are examples of plagiarism and carry serious consequences. Please familiarise yourself with the CU Harvard Reference Style and use it correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or cheating being brought. If you are unsure please refer to your tutor.
Return of Marked Work
You can expect to have marked work returned to you by 6 th September 2018. If for any reason there is a delay you will be kept informed. Marks and feedback will be provided online. As always, marks will have been internally moderated only, and will therefore be provisional; your mark will be formally agreed later in the year once the external examiner has completed his/her review.
