How to submit your work:

All submissions for this component(s) of this Module must be submitted according to these instructions. If you fail to submit this component as directed, in accordance with the guidance provided on the Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle), a mark of 0 will be awarded for the component.

A Turnitin link will be set up on the Moodle site for HR3051. This will include a link for the on time submission of the assignment. There will be other links for submission within 24 hours for which there will be a deduction of 5 marks and for those who require extenuation because of a sudden illness or situation that requires extenuation because it was unforeseeable and preventable. Here is the information and the link.

This will be advised in dure course.

We strongly suggest that you try to submit all coursework by the deadline set as meeting deadlines is expected in employment.  However, in our regulations, UEL has permitted students to be able to submit their coursework up to 24 hours after the deadline.  The deadline will be published in your module guide.  Coursework which is submitted late, but within 24 hours of the deadline, will be assessed but subjected to a fixed penalty of 5% of the total marks available (as opposed to marks obtained).  However, you have to be very careful when you are submitting your assessment.  If you submit your work twice, once using the original deadline link and then again using the late submission link, your assignment will be graded as late with the 5% deduction.

Please note that if you submit twice, once before the deadline and once during the 24 hour late period, then the second submission will be marked and 5% deducted.

This rule only applies to coursework.  It does not apply to examinations, presentations, performances, practical assessments or viva voce examinations.  If you miss these for a genuine reason, then you will need to apply for extenuating circumstances, or accept that you will receive a zero mark.

Extenuating Circumstances are circumstances which:

• impair your examination performance prevent you from attending examinations or other types of assessment, or
• prevent you from submitting coursework or other assessed work by the scheduled deadline date, or within 24 hours of the deadline date

Such circumstances rarely occur and would normally be:

• unforeseeable - in that you could have no prior knowledge of the event concerned, and
• unpreventable - in that you could do nothing reasonably in your power to prevent such an event, and
• expected to have a serious impact on performance

WHAT IS FEEDBACK?

Feedback is crucial for your learning and it is an important part of the academic cycle.  It tells you what the strengths are of your work, what its weaknesses are and how it can be improved.

WHY IS FEEDBACK IMPORTANT?

Feedback is the most effective way to: Help you understand how to succeed in your assessments; Help you produce better work for the future; Signpost you to other resources for assistance.

If you pay attention to feedback, particularly where the same comment is made in several modules, you can use the information to improve.

WHERE DO I GET FEEDBACK?

• When a tutor comments on your answers in seminars/lectures/workshops
• General comment on assessment performance in lectures and seminars
• General comment on questions prepared for seminars
• When another student makes comments on your presentation
• When you produce practice questions for a tutor who gives comments
• When you receive written comments on your work submitted either as coursework or exam
• When you look at general feedback on module performance on UEL Direct.
• When you see your Academic Adviser with all your assessment feedback for general advice.  You should always do this after each assessment period.
