GENERAL ASSIGNMENT GUIDANCE

TEAMWORK AND ITS ASSESSMENT

Should this assignment require you to work as part of a team, you will receive an individual grade based upon your performance as well as personalised feedback. The module leader will explain how your individual grade and feedback will be determined.

Importance of Word Counts and Presentation Timings

Assignment word counts and presentation timings should always be observed. Ignoring a word count increases significantly the risk of  your work losing marks because it lacked structure, flow, focus and clarity. Timings must be observed for assessed presentations for
the same reasons.
