Assignment Guidelines

Table of Contents and Numbering
All submission should be submitted with Individual Assignment Cover Sheet and comprehensive table of contents is required, with section numbers, section headings, and page numbers. It should include the List of References, and a List of Appendices; all with page numbers indicated. All sections and pages should be fully numbered.

Body of Assignment
This is an academic assignment, so it is essential that your statements be justified by relevant academic theory. At postgraduate level, you are expected to be able to apply recognized theory to situations and form opinions. You should be developing analytical and communication skills. You are expected to use your judgment to analyse problems, and make value judgments as to whether it is good or bad (or both); use existing academic theory from a range of sources to justify your position, and to argue whether something is valid or not. In the study of management, there is no right or wrong answers, only lots of opinions; many of which change over a period of time.

 

Appendices
Larger amounts of relevant material (such as sample documents or supporting material) should be put at the end of the assignment in an Appendix after the List of References. Smaller charts or summaries could be located in the text, but anything over a page becomes a distraction. Appendices should be numbered sequentially (Appendix 1, Appendix 2, etc.). Unnecessary and irrelevant information should not be attached. Size of assignments has no bearing on marks achieved.

Turnitin Report
The similarity index should be less than or equal to 15%. Coursework/assignment with a similarity index that exceeds 15% or without the Turnitin report will not be graded.

 

Word Count
The total word count should be at least 1,000 – 1,200 words excluding tables and figures. Try to stay with the allocated word count as far as possible. Marks are gained for facts and conciseness, and marks are lost for unnecessary material. As a postgraduate student, there is no excuse for poor spelling, bad grammar, or lack of formatting. Use 1.5 lines-spacing with 12-point font size, and pages must be numbered. Use Times New Roman font ONLY.

 

Submission Platform
The assignment should be submitted through blackboard submission. The deadline is in Week 5 (Refer to Lesson Plan)

 

Late Submission
Late submission between 1 and 5 days, 1 mark deducted per day up to maximum of 5 marks. 
Late submission between 6 and 10 days, 2 marks deducted per day from day 6 to 10, plus the 5 marks deducted from day 1 to 5 up to maximum of 15 marks
Late submission between 11 and 15 days, a pass grade of 50% given if work submitted earned more than 50%. For coursework that earned below 50%, the marks will be maintained.
