What am I required to do in this assignment?

The first assessment for this unit is a short piece of written work, 1000 words long. You will be expected to use two academic sources to provide a definition of a key concept in education. You will correctly reference those sources in your completed assignment. The assignment will allow us to begin to develop your academic writing skills and put together an academic argument, as you will be doing in future essays and other assessments on your degree course. This will be your first assignment on the course and will also allow us to give you early personalised feedback on your levels of literacy and academic skills in relation to higher education. You will then reflect on how to structure a formal academic essay, considering how the assignment relates to other types of assignment you will be asked to produce on your course.

Your essay must address the following question:

With reference to two academic sources, provide a definition for one of the key concepts in education, within the context of your area of study.

What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from UIF)

1.) Employ academic sources to evidence your work making use of the correct referencing style to acknowledge them.

Completing Your Assignment

2.) Outline preliminary conclusions that can be drawn from the key debates in your subject area. 3.) Define and discuss key terms and topics.

How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?

You must engage with the course materials and independent reading in order to produce a coherent and clear piece of academic writing. While you will receive a range of support during teaching sessions, it is important that you use your independent study time to practice the following study skills:

• Finding and using information
• Referencing and avoiding plagiarism
• Academic and assignment writing.

Relevant additional support can be online via the Study hub.

How does this assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?

You will receive very specific and detailed support in the first assignment and will then be encouraged to develop your independent learning skills as the unit develops. In both seminars and workshops, your tutor will provide you with multiple opportunities to help you to plan and structure an academic essay. There will be an opportunity to submit and essay plan draft. You will receive formative feedback between weeks 3-5.

**Please refer to the School of Education and English language guidance on support for assessments. The assessment will be discussed in lectures and seminars; it is your responsibility to know when these sessions are and to attend them. Staff members are unable to give individual bespoke guidance if you miss the scheduled sessions**
