As preparation for the summative assessment (see below), you should produce a plan or draft of your report of not more. This should include a brief description of:

• The two problems in the case study you wish to address.
• The topics which we have covered in class, chosen from the list |(see below)
• The theories you intend to use for your analysis
• Your recommendations.

1-Category One

National Culture

Organisational Culture

2-Category Two

Leadership

Communication and Negotiation

Organisational Structure

Diversity

3-Category three

Ethics and CSR

Think in terms of applying theory to clarify and deepen your analysis and conclude with recommendations for realistic, practicable solutions for the case study company.

1.Review your previously submitted work and read carefully the feedback given by the marker.

2.Use this feedback to help you revisit and rewrite your work, improving it in the areas identified as weak in the original marking process

3.Include with your resubmission an additional reflective piece on what you understand was weak, how you set about addressing this and what you have learned from this that may help you with further assignments. You should address the following specifically:

i) Identify tutor feedback points on your original work and identify where/how the resit work has changed (give page number) in response to feedback

ii) Identify the lessons you have learnt from doing the resit

iii) Reflect on how your feedback and this process will help you improve future assignments

If you did not submit work at the first opportunity you cannot reflect on your feedback. However, you are still required to submit a reflective piece in which you identify your reasons for non-submission, the implications of non-submission for your future success and how you propose to address this in the future.

If you were deferred at the first assessment opportunity you do not need to include the reflective piece as this is a first submission at a later date, not a resit.

The original marking criteria will still apply (see marking grid provided above*) except that the 10% weighting for presentation will be awarded instead to your reflective piece.

Between you handing in your work and then receiving your feedback and marks within 20 days, there are a number of quality assurance processes that we go through to ensure that students receive marks which reflects their work. A brief summary is provided below.

Step One – The module and marking team meet to agree standards, expectations and how feedback will be provided.

Step Two – A subject expert will mark your work using the criteria provided in the assessment brief.

Step Three – A moderation meeting takes place where all members of the teaching and marking team will review the marking of others to confirm whether they agree with the mark and feedback

Step Four – Work at Levels 5 and 6 then goes to an external examiner who will review a sample of work to confirm that the marking between different staff is consistent and fair

Stop Five – Your mark and feedback is processed by the Office and made available to you.
