Note: Do not put your work in a special plastic wallet or folder; use the heavy-duty staplers in the LRC to keep your work together (alternatively use treasury tags). All projects should be submitted in the usual way; that is a copy submitted to the LRC and a copy uploaded to Turnitin via Moodle. Your assignment will not be marked and graded, unless it has been submitted through the Turnitin link. Appendices do not have to be scanned and uploaded, as long as a paper copy is submitted (and you keep a spare copy), then this is acceptable.

There is no grade descriptor for pass. Students achieve a pass by meeting the requirements of all the assessment criteria for a unit.

Grade Guidance: Learners must carefully read the guidance below which is linked to the components above

MERIT and DISTINCTION:

For a merit your response will show that the information found, as a result of your primary and secondary investigations, has been presented in a way that shows you have used the information with very good levels of accuracy and analysis; this could be most evident in your discussion about the results / findings. You will be able to show that you have been able to deconstruct the information and analysed it appropriately in order to solve a problem (that is, the question created for your investigation). The different perspectives from the sources will have been interrogated. For a merit; this will apply to and require either breadth or depth of information and for a distinction this will require both breadth and depth and a higher level of consistency and accuracy.

The primary and secondary sources you include within your investigations, will be graded according to their appropriateness. If sources are generally appropriate to the subject matter, then a merit could be achieved. However, for a distinction, your choice of sources would need to be consistently appropriate throughout your work. You will also be graded on your ability to appraise the information; this could be your judgement on its academic value, for example, any bias evident, or the reliability or authenticity of the information. Your ability to comment on this aspect (academic worth of information) will be graded appropriately with either a merit if carried out in a general way, or a distinction level if covered extensively within your response.

You are expected to follow the guidance given on the brief with regard to the structure of your report. In addition, you are expected to write in an academic style and register; the degree to which you do this effectively will be graded appropriately. Generally logical and fluent work could achieve a merit, whereas consistently logical and fluent work could achieve a distinction.

Throughout the process of completing your extended project, you should show that you are an independent learner and to an extent autonomous. You will need to manage your time effectively and manage any problems effectively too. You will, with the guidance and support of your tutor be able to work with levels of autonomy and independence. Evidence of this will be gathered from your one to one tutorial meetings, which will show how well you respond to targets and how well you demonstrate effective time management skills.

Academic citation using the Harvard style of referencing should be used accurately; the levels of accuracy will contribute to the quality of the assignment.
