Version 1 Page 10 of 13 Further Information Who can answer questions about my assessment? Questions about the assessment should be directed to the staff member who has set the task/assessment brief. This will usually be the Module tutor. They will be happy to answer any queries you have. Referencing and independent learning (Not applicable for Examination) Please ensure you reference a range of credible sources, with due attention to the academic literature in the area. The time spent on research and reading from good quality sources will be reflected in the quality of your submitted work. Remember that what you get out of university depends on what you put in. Your teaching sessions typically represent between 10% and 30% of the time you are expected to study for your degree. A 20-credit module represents 200 hours of study time. The rest of your time should be taken up by self-directed study. Unless stated otherwise you must use the HARVARD referencing system. Further guidance on referencing can be found in the on Moodle. Correct referencing is an easy way to improve your marks and essential in achieving higher grades on most assessments. Technical submission problems (Not applicable for Examination) It is strongly advised that you submit your work at least 24 hours before the deadline to allow time to resolve any last minute problems you might have. If you are having issues with IT or Turnitin you should contact the IT Helpdesk on (+968) 92841521/ 92841217. You may require evidence of the Helpdesk call if you are trying to demonstrate that a fault with Turnitin was the cause of a late submission. Mitigating circumstances Short extensions on assessment deadlines can be requested in specific circumstances. If you are encountering particular hardship which has been affecting your studies, then you may be able to apply for mitigating circumstances. This can give the teachers on your programme more scope to adapt the assessment requirements to support your needs. Mitigating circumstances policies and procedures are regularly updated. You should refer to your Academic Advisor for information on extensions and mitigating circumstances. Unfair academic practice Cardiff Met takes issues of unfair practice extremely seriously. The University has procedures and penalties for dealing with unfair academic practice. These are explained in full in the University’s Unfair Practice regulations and procedures under Volume 1, Section 8 of the Academic Handbook. The Module Leader reserves the right to interview students regarding any aspect of their work submitted for assessment. Types of Unfair Practice, include: Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person’s words or ideas and submitting them for assessment as though it were one’s own work, for instance by copying, translating from one language to another or unacknowledged paraphrasing. Further examples include:
Version 1 Page 11 of 13 • Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons, whether published in textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, where quotations have not been clearly identified as such by being placed in quotation marks and acknowledged. • Use of another person’s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased to make it look different from the original. • Summarising another person’s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer programmes without reference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography/reference list. • Use of assessment writing services, essay banks and/or any other similar agencies (NB. Students are commonly being blackmailed after using essay mills). • Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet. • Re-use of one’s own material except as authorised by your degree programme. Collusion, which can be defined as when work that that has been undertaken with others is submitted and passed off as solely the work of one person. Modules will clearly identify where joint preparation and joint submission are permitted, in all other cases they are not. Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations, interviews or other forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any other way. How is my work graded? Gulf College uses Cardiff Metropolitan University’s Generic Band Descriptors (GBD), in conjunction with programme-specific and/or assessment-specific descriptors that are developed in accordance with the principles underpinning the generic descriptors, as a reference in marking student work outputs. This is to ensure that marking is consistent across all Cardiff Met students’ work, including the work outputs of students in Gulf College. Assessment marking undergoes a meticulous process to make sure that it is fair and truly reflects the performance of students in their modules. Marking of work at each level of Cardiff Met degree programmes are benchmarked against a set of general requirements set out in Cardiff Met’s Guidance on Assessment Marking. https://www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/registry/academichandbook/Documents/AH1_04_03.pdf To find out more about assessments and key academic skills that can have a significant impact on your marks, download and read your Module Handbook from Moodle and your Programme Handbook from the college website.
