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. UKPDA recommends the following to check plagiarism/similarity. https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism-checker
Learners are required to attach the similarity report in submission slot or email to tutor. 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
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 Harvard 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.
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 chart and flowcharts that support the main report should be incorporated into the end 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, in accordance of Harvard Style Referencing, and referenced at the end of the assignment.
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 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.
Submission of Assignments
All work to be submitted on the due date. All work must be submitted in a single electronic document (.docx file).

| Points to consider | Explanation |
| |
| 1. In-text Citations and References | In-text citations and references are the fundamental requirements of the assignment. Must incorporate in-text citations with each criterion and incorporate references to those citations in the bibliography section. Make sure that all in-text citations and references are in the proper Harvard style. This includes correct formatting, author names, publication dates, and page numbers. Accurate citations reflect academic integrity and adherence to scholarly standards. Additionally, avoid utilising blogs or websites like Wikipedia, indeed, etc. for the content. Utilise peer- reviewed articles, journals and books to enhance the effectiveness of your content. | ||
| 2. Relevancy of Content | Align the content with each assignment criterion. Focus on the action verbs (e.g., assess, evaluate, identify, describe, demonstrate,explain)mentioned in the criteria and modify your responses accordingly.Irrelevant content will lead to a loss of marks and possible failure. | ||
| 3. Paragraph Form and Suitable Headings | Avoid using unnecessary bullet points and short sentences. Instead, address each criterion in a well-structured paragraph with appropriate headings. This ensures clarity and coherence in your writing, making it easier for evaluators to follow your argument. Make sure that each criterion is clearly presented with proper formatting, including headings,paragraphs, and consistent style throughout. | ||
| 4.Comprehensive Coverage of Criteria according to Assignment brief | Address all the criteria listed in the assignment brief. Missing any criterion could result in not achieving a passing grade. Make sure your response fully addresses and gives appropriate consideration to each criterion. Additionally, follow the additional guidelines or scenarios (if given) in the brief to stay relevant to the demand of the criteria. | ||
| 5. Word Count Adherence | Strictly follow the word count policy mentioned in the assignment brief. Falling short of the required word count can lead to failure.Plan your response to meet the word count while maintaining quality. | ||
| 6. Avoid Using AI- Generated Content | Refrain from relying on AI-generated content for your assignments.Such content lack depth,originality,relevance, and could lead to academic integrity issues. Focus on creating authentic work that reflects your own understanding and research. | ||
| 7. Authentic Work Submission | Ensure that any work submitted for assessment is genuinely your own. Submitting jointly written work as your own is considered academic misconduct, which can lead to penalties. | ||
| 8. Avoid using someone else work | Using someone else`s work whether copied word-for-word or slightly rephrased without giving proper credit is plagiarism. | ||
| 9. Duplication/self- plagiarism | Submitting work that largely repeats material previously graded for the same or another course, here or elsewhere, counts as self-plagiarism, unless it’s an improved version approved for reassessment.This is considered academic misconduct. | ||
| 10. Material proofreading | Use Microsoft Word`s grammar and spell check, the use of Grammarly is strictly prohibited due to its AI text-generation capabilities | ||
