Examination Guidance

Take Home assignments are in many cases similar to coursework essays. But they will not be marked as such. The marking process will take into account the more limited time available to you. You are not expected to quote others’ work in the same way that we do not expect you to memorise quotes for invigilated assignments. Where you paraphrase an author’s ideas you should mention them, e.g. ‘Angela Davis advances the claim that …’, or ‘the mainstream liberal tradition claim X, while more critical approaches argues Y’. Marks will not be deducted for the failure to reference properly. But unattributed copying will be treated as an assessment offence.

Markers will treat your assignments as exams. This means that detailed feedback will not be provided.

Open book timed exams will be marked in the same way as normal invigilated exams. The marking process will take into account the fact that you will have additional resources available to you. Marks will not be deducted for the failure to reference properly. But unattributed copying will be treated as an assessment offence. As markers will treat your work as standards exams, detailed feedback will not be provided.
