Submission of Assignments
At the beginning of each Learning Module, you will be issued Assignment Information as well as their due dates. All written assignments should be completed and submitted in the first week of the Residential School session.
Assignments are your responsibility. If an assignment is not received by the due date, it will be considered to be late or a non-submission and a lecturer may not mark it. Plagiarism and cheating – Representation of another’s work or ideas as one’s own without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing, where the owner of the work knows of the situation and both work towards the deceit of a third party, will lead to disqualification in the course
Assignments should be typed in double spacing and a 40mm margin on the left-hand side of the page for marker’s comments. In addition, we ask you to keep a copy of your assignment and proof of posting – as a safeguard against it getting lost.
Your assignments will be returned to you at the beginning of the following Residential School session. A copy of the feedback form is retained in your personal file and the mark awarded recorded.
