Assignment Guidelines
All work must be submitted in a single electronic document (.doc file).
Overall word count guide: 3000 – 4000
Plagiarism and Collusion
In submitting the assignment Learner’s 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
work, excerpts, ideas or passages of another author without appropriate referencing
and attribution. Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit work which is so
alike in ideas, content, wording and/or structure that the similarity goes beyond what
might have been mere coincidence.
Appendices
Separate Appendices should not be used. Any use of tables, graphs, diagrams, Gantt
chart and flowcharts etc. that support the main report should be incorporated into the
back of the assignment report that is submitted. Any published secondary information
such as annual reports and company literature, should be referenced in the main text
of the assignment but not included.
Confidentiality
Where a Learner is using organisational information that deals with sensitive material
or issues, they must seek the 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
In total, the assignment report should be between 3000 – 4000 words. Learners must
comply with the required word count, within a margin of +10%.These rules exclude
the index (if used), headings and information contained within references and
bibliographies. When an assessment task requires learners to produce presentation
slides with supporting notes, the word count applies to the supporting notes only.
Referencing and Professionalism
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.
