Assessment Schedule

Assessment	Description	Weight	Date
Conflict Assessment	1,000 word report	30%	18 Feb at 09:00

Research: The minimum research expectation for the written assessments (items 1 and 3) is 10 academic sources, correctly cited in both the references and the bibliography.

 

Referencing: Written assignments must be correctly and adequately referenced. A bibliography at the end of the paper should contain all sources cited in the text and no course which were not cited.

 

Plagiarism: Plagiarism, which includes improper citations and submitting someone else’s work as your own is cheating, and will be punished with a grade of zero for the work. If a student copies another student’s work, both receive a zero.

 

Extensions: Assessments must be completed before the due date. Extensions will not be granted unless requested in writing with student services support before the due date. Late papers will be penalised 1 mark (out of 30) per day or part thereof up to seven days and receive a zero after 7 days.

Word count: Word counts must be within 10% of the expectation, not including footnotes or the bibliography. For a 1,000 word assignment, that is 900 – 1,100 words. Papers which fall outside this range will be penalised 1 mark (out of 30) per 100 words or part thereof.
