指导Assessment Assignment,这篇文章主要是看引用的格式 和引用的证据是否有力和高质量引用,引用要包含间接引用和直接引用 Module Title Critical Reasoning Assessment Assignment Assessment Title: Critical Thinking and Management Issues Maximum word length: 1500 1-10% excess no penalty NB. None of the above penalties will be used to change a student mark which is above the pass mark, to one that is below the pass mark. Therefore the maximum penalty for exceeding the word limit will be a reduction to a pass grade. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
The topic: You are required to write an assignment of no more than 1500 words in answer to the question, task or topic your group agreed with the relevant module teaching staff during the semester. Assessment criteria First Class level student work will display an ability to apply the theories, concepts and techniques delivered on the module to the successful application of critical reasoning skills in the writing of assignments. There will be evidence that in answering their chosen question the student has critically read the relevant parts of a variety of different texts and articles, and has used relevant, appropriate, correctly referenced, short direct quotations from some of the material read in order to support valid conclusions they have drawn in response to their chosen question(s). The published material the student refers to will be cited in a reference list at the end of the assignment constructed using a format recommended on the module. The majority of the material the student draws upon in constructing their answer will be sourced from professional academic journals, text-books and university web-sites of an appropriate academic standard. A limited quantity of non-academic material may be used where the chosen question demands reference to non-academic material. The students will display an ability to critically assess the published material they draw upon in answering their chosen question. The structure of responses to the assessment tasks will assist the reader in understanding the student’s responses to those tasks; the form of communication will be appropriate to the assessment task; the arguments used in responses will be sound and coherent, and the student will display an ability to use appropriate technical and/or conceptual language and/or skills, as required, with confidence.#p#分页标题#e# Other levels of work The further a student’s work diverges from the ideal described above, the lower their resulting grade is likely to be. Learning Outcomes Met: 1. Understand the process of critical reasoning and employ that understanding in the support of the student’s personal development as a learner Guidance Notes (a) Because you have worked with a group of students in preparing the question, topic or task on this module, the risks of being accused of plagiarism are increased (see further details at the end of this document). Make no mistake: this final assignment must be your work alone.
Plagiarism Warning Summary • Plagiarism occurs if you use somebody else's work in an assignment or exam answer, but fail to state where you got the material from. • It can happen in any type of assessment where you are given the questions or tasks in advance. • If another student uses your work in their answer(s), both you and they will be punished when caught. • Punishments for committing plagiarism can be very severe. • 25-30 students get caught in the Business school every year. Plagiarism is a form of cheating in which students use the work of others and present it as their own. The University publishes a fully detailed description of what the term ‘plagiarism’ means on the University’s main web-site under the heading ’Procedures for dealing with suspected cases of academic dishonesty. We strongly recommend that you go and read the full document at the above address. Meanwhile, here is an extract of some of the relevant content. You will have committed plagiarism and may be caught, reported and punished (as described below) if you: • Copy extensively from the work of others (from sources such as books, magazines, journals, web-sites for example) and submit the work as your own. NB It is acceptable to refer to the work of others as long as you do not use too much, and reference your sources properly. If you do not know how to do this, please follow the guidelines given in the document entitled ‘Adding quotations and references to your written work’ at this web-site address: • Copy another students’ work and submit it for assessment under your own name. • Allow another student to copy your work and they then submit it for assessment under their name This last item is of particular importance; few students seem to understand what it means. If, for example, you allow another student to borrow your work and they subsequently copy some that work and present it as their own, you and they will both be punished even though someone else copied your work. The risks of working with other students Some assessment tasks are explicitly designed for group work, and it will be made clear that a group answer is expected from you. All other tasks are intended as an assessment of your individual comprehension and performance, and group answers are not permitted. In individually assessed forms of assessment your work must be different from that of every other student. Plagiarism can occur in assignments and any examination where the questions are issued to students in advance. In both cases it is possible for you to ask other people about how best to answer the questions or complete the necessary tasks#p#分页标题#e# You should be aware that different modules and subjects may have different requirements. In some subjects, answers to questions may, for example, require every student on a module to employ or refer to the same diagram(s), concepts and the like in order to construct an acceptable answer. You should note, however, that even in these circumstances your explanations of what the diagrams mean, and any other writing referring to any common diagrams and concepts should all be in your own words. Moreover, the situation may be very different on other modules, where the submission of work that has a very similar structure, or the use of very similar materials such as concepts, diagrams, quotations and the like, to that of another student, may lead to you being accused of plagiarism. 指导Assessment AssignmentThe picture is complicated and, unfortunately, it is not possible to give advice that is directly relevant to every module you study. If you are unsure about how to avoid plagiarism in any specific module, then rather than hoping and guessing, you should ask for guidance from the member of staff who delivers that module. Our overall advice is straightforward; by all means discuss how best to answer questions or complete tasks with your colleagues, but when it comes to actually writing your answers - DO IT ALONE!
