Assessment Criteria and Issues

• Overall, the essay will be assessed based on the above marking standards and criteria as below and follows the GSBL general grade descriptors.
  • Content: accuracy, relevance, focus and coverage
  • Construction of argument: integration and coherence of structure
  • Quality of argument: evidence of understanding, judgement, critical analysis, originality, logic, and synthesis
  • Reading and research: demonstration of independent reading
  • Quality of communication: overall presentation, language, and clarity.
• Submission of coursework must be electronically online on Turnitin Assessment System, available on Weblearn – ‘Online Submission’.
• I expect your individual coursework assignment is at a minimum 2800 words and a maximum 3000 words (including in-text references, but excluding end-text references, tables, figures, appendix).
• Sources of information must be included and referenced in your discussion as well as the date obtained.
• Points and/or arguments presented and made should be substantiated with data/evidence. I am interested in your own views, but it should be clear through the referencing system whether they are personal or evidenced by the views/data of others.
• A bibliography should be included using the Harvard system. This at least entails that every reference included in the bibliography is referenced in the main body of the text and that there are no references included in the bibliography that are not mentioned in the main body.
• Clarity of expression - please pass-through MS Word ’Spelling & Grammar’ or equivalent.
• Academic integrity requires honesty in your studies. You should not present another person’s sentences or ideas as your own work. You should clearly identify quotations through the use of quotation marks and references to the sources. Failure to adhere to these academic standards may lead to allegations of Academic Misconduct, which will be investigated by the Student Casework Office. Academic Misconduct covers a variety of practices, such as: 

• Plagiarism: copying another person’s ideas or words and presenting them as your own work, without the use of quotation marks and/or references;
• Self-plagiarism: resubmitting, in part, or in entirety one of your assignments for another piece of work; Inventing, altering or falsifying the results of experiments or research;
• Commissioning or contracting another person to complete an assessment;
• Colluding with others in the production of a piece of assessed work which is presented as entirely your own work;
• Cheating in an exam (for example, but not limited to taking revision notes into the exam room or copying off another student during an exam). 

For full details of Academic Misconduct and how allegations are investigated, see the relevant section of the University’s academic regulations: https://student.londonmet.ac.uk/your-studies/student-administration/rules-and-regulations/academic-misconduct/.
