GUIDELINES AND BACKGROUND TO THIS ASSIGNMENT

Plagiarism

As part of your study you will be involved in carrying out research and
using this when writing up your coursework. It is important that you correctly
acknowledge someone else’s writing, thoughts or ideas and that you do not
attempt to pass this off as your own work. 
Doing so is known as plagiarism. 
It is not acceptable to copy from another source without acknowledging
that it is someone else’s writing or thinking. This includes using
paraphrasing as well as direct quotations. You are expected to correctly cite
and reference the works of others. The Centre for Academic Writing provides
documents to help you get this right. If you are unsure, please
visit www.coventry.ac.uk/caw.  You
can also check your understanding of academic conduct by completing the Good
Academic Practice quiz available on Moodle.

Moodle includes a
plagiarism detection system and assessors are experienced enough to recognise
plagiarism when it occurs. Copying another student’s work, using previous work of your own or
copying large sections from a book or the internet are examples of plagiarism
and carry serious consequences. Please familiarise yourself
with the CU Harvard Reference Style (on Moodle) and use it
correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or cheating being brought.  Again, if you are unsure, please contact the Centre for Academic Writing, your
Academic Personal Tutor or a member of the course team.

Return of Marked Work

You can expect to have marked work returned to you within
15 working days for level 1 and 2, 10 working days for level 3 and M level). If
for any reason there is a delay you will be kept informed. Marks and feedback
will be provided online/ face to face. As always, marks will have been
internally moderated only, and will therefore be provisional; your mark will be
formally agreed later in the year once the external examiner has completed his
/ her review.
