Referencing:

Please adhere to the principles of good academic practice and ensure you reference all sources used when developing your assessment, using UWE Harvard. Failure to properly reference your work to original source material can be grounds for the assessment offence of plagiarism and may result in failure of the assessment or have more serious implications.

For further guidance on correct referencing go to: http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/studysupport/studyskills/referencing.aspx

Details of what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it can be found here: http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/studysupport/studyskills/readingandwriting/plagiarism.aspx

For general guidance on how to avoid assessment offences see: http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/academicadvice/assessments/assessmentoffences.aspx

Instructions for submission

You must submit your assignment before the stated deadline by electronic submission through ATLAS. You are advised to always check your work through ATLAS before the deadline to see what is visible to your tutor.

Some template assets are set to ‘auto submit’ when you collect the template or workbook and will notify you of this when you first save a copy for yourself. As long as you do not delete or remove your original you do not need to manually ‘share for assessment’ these templates.

Please ensure you allow sufficient time to share your assignment for assessment, noting that the system may become busier and slower as the deadline approaches. The submission deadlines are absolute and based on UWE server time, therefore you are strongly advised to submit work well ahead of the deadline dates to avoid situations where penalties could be incurred. It is recommended you ‘share for assessment’ as soon as you begin the assignment as all saved changes will be reflected in ATLAS. Effectively your submission in ATLAS is a link to your asset not a copy until the deadline passes at which point a fixed copy of your asset is stored for marking.

Late submission in the 24 hours following the deadline will be accepted but the assignment mark will be capped at 40%. Submissions after 24 hours will not be accepted. PLEASE NOTE that any changes made within the late window to an asset already shared for assessment will mark the submission as late. For full guidance on online submission through Blackboard see following link, though you are not submitting through Blackboard some of the general submission guidance may be useful:

Submissions of coursework by any other method (including a paper copy, on disc, by email or by fax) are NOT permissible for this assignment unless specifically agreed by the Module Leader in advance of the submission date.

Before the deadline, please ensure the following:

o That you have proof read you work thoroughly to ensure your work is presented appropriatelyo That you have addressed all the required elements of the assessment
o That you have referenced in accordance with the guidance provided
o That you have addressed each of the marking criterion

o That the submission is in the correct format – you may not be able to share to the assignment space if the asset is not the correct type.

We will mark 5 separate portfolio activities of the milestones in evidencing the understanding of the role of enterprise and entrepreneurship in practice, creativity and in society, and the importance of enterprise and entrepreneurship to their future career and life aspirations. These learning and probing “portfolio activities” complement the lectures and document the entrepreneurial design process, and the adaptations that were made (or not) as a result of it. There are 5 key activity dates:
