Remember to reference your work (including in-text referencing) at all times using the APA format. Submissions – Use this document as the template for your submission! Please submit the whole document including cover page, instructions, your essay and the rubric via Moodle. All assignments will be checked for plagiarism and originality using Turnitin. All submissions must be saved using the following naming convention (failure to do this may result in your assignment not being marked): • • First Name_ID number_ Assignment 2 E.g. Ahmed_20180090_Assignment 2 BILM Assignments – Rules & Guidelines ACADEMIC INTEGRITY & HONESTY: When submitting this assignment you are confirming that you have adhered to Bahrain Polytechnic’s policy on academic integrity and honesty including using APA referencing appropriately. Any violation of this will be dealt with as stipulated in the policy. LATE SUBMISSIONS: Late assignments are deducted 5 marks from your achieved mark for each 24 hour period after the due date. For example, an assessment which has been graded as 73% will be reduced to 68% for the first 24 hours late, and to 63% if late for a further 24 hours and so on. This applies to every day of the week including the weekend and all public holidays. Assignments which are submitted so late as to receive a negative mark will receive a final mark of zero. EXTENSIONS: On application, in writing, tutors may or may not approve an extension up to a maximum of two (2) days (including the weekend and public holidays) for an individual assignment. Applications for extensions must be received no later than 72 hours (3 days) before the due date. Only one extension per course will be given. Please note that extensions will not be given for group work, tests or exams. WORD LIMIT: All assignments have a required word limit which we permit a variation of +/-10%. For example an assignment with a 3000 word limit means that you can submit between 2700 to 3300 words. These words come from the main body of your writing i.e. your introduction to your conclusion. We do not include title pages, contents pages, reference list or appendices. In-text referencing is included in the word count. Submissions which are substantially under the word limit will receive a low mark for failing to answer the question fully. If a submission is over the word limit, the tutor will simply stop marking at that point where it is 10% over (e.g. 3300 words for an assignment with a 3000 word limit).You will not receive any marks for work that is submitted outside of the maximum word limit. GHOST WRITERS / ESSAY MILLS: In cases where there is strong concern over the authorship of your submission (i.e. we suspect someone has written it for you), you will be required to attend a meeting (either face-to-face or online) with your tutor and PM or HoS to ‘defend’ your work. If you are unable to satisfy all parties that the work is yours by displaying a thorough knowledge of the contents, concepts, terminology etc., a full academic misconduct investigation will be carried out. Due to the severity of this, a possible outcome is your permanent exclusion from the Polytechnic. Please refer to the generic Course Guide or your tutor is you require further clarification of the above points.
