You should translate your chosen essay topic into a specific essay title, in consultation with your module tutor by week 10. I will place a list of names and titles on this section of the website.
The DRAFT essay must be ready for the scheduled tutorial sessions, submitted by the end of week 11. This allows for a further two weeks of re-drafting. There will an additional open Essay Surgery in week 12.
The FINAL essay, with all accompanying material, must be submitted via GradeMark® by 2pm, by Tuesday 5 January 2016.
All coursework assignments and other forms of assessment must be submitted by the published deadline, which is detailed above. It is your responsibility to know when work is due to be submitted – ignorance of the deadline date will not be accepted as a reason for late or non-submission.
All student work that contributes to the eventual outcome of the module (i.e.: if it determines whether you will pass or fail the module and counts towards the mark you achieve for the module) is submitted via the iCentre using the formal submission sheet. Academic staff CANNOT accept work directly from you.
If you decide to submit your work to the iCentre by post, it must arrive by midday on the due date. If you elect to post your work, you do so at your own risk and you must ensure that sufficient time is provided for your work to arrive at the iCentre. Posting your work the day before a deadline, albeit by first class post, is extremely risky and not advised.
Any late work (submitted in person or by post) will NOT be accepted and a mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment task in question.
You are requested to keep a copy of your work.
