Plagiarism and Collusion

In submitting the assignment, Learners must complete a statement of authenticity confirming that the work submitted for all tasks is their own. The statement should also include the word count.

Plagiarism and collusion are treated very seriously. Plagiarism involves presenting another author`s work, excerpts, ideas, or passages without appropriate referencing and attribution. Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit work that is so alike in ideas, content, wording, and/or structure that the similarity goes beyond what might have been mere coincidence.

Referencing

A professional approach to work is expected from all learners. Learners must therefore identify and acknowledge ALL sources/methodologies/applications used.

The learner must use an appropriate referencing system to achieve this. Marks are not awarded for the use of English; however, the learner must express ideas clearly and ensure that appropriate terminology is used to convey accuracy in meaning.

Please use the Harvard Style of Referencing throughout your work.

Appendices

You may include appendices to support your work. However, appendices must only contain additional supporting information and must be clearly referenced in your assignment.

You may also include tables, graphs, diagrams, Gantt charts, and flowcharts that support the main report and should be incorporated into the back of the submitted assignment report. Distinguish between primary, secondary and delegated legislations

Any published secondary information such as annual reports and company literature should be referenced in the main text of the assignment, following Harvard Style Referencing, and referenced at the end of the assignment.

Confidentiality

When Learners choose to include organisational information that deals with sensitive material or issues, they must seek advice and permission from that organisation about its inclusion.

Where confidentiality is an issue, Learners are advised to anonymise their assignment report so that it cannot be attributed to that particular organisation.

Word Count Policy

Learners must comply with the required word count within a margin of +10%. These rules exclude the index, headings, tables, images, footnotes, appendices, and information within references and bibliographies.

When an assessment task requires learners to produce presentation slides with supporting notes, the word count only applies to the supporting notes.

Marking and Grades

The details of a standard marking rubric can be found at the end of this document. Unless stated elsewhere, learners must answer all questions in this document.
