10. Assessment (Updated 04 December 2025)

10.8. Final Assessment Exercise and Online Examination

There is no official style guide for formatting your Final Assessment Exercise or Online Examination submission. However, to ensure clarity and consistency, we recommend the following:

General Formatting

  • Font: Use a standard, readable font such as Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri
  • Font size: 12-point for the main text
  • Line spacing: Double-spaced
  • Margins: Minimum of 2 cm on all sides
  • Citations: Required for all assessments. You may use either:
    • Inline citations, or
    • Footnotes (no smaller than 10-point font, ideally in the same font as the main text)

Title Page Requirements

Your submission must include a top sheet (title page) containing the following information only:

  • Module number (e.g. SOLM001)
  • Module title
  • Final word count
  • Student ID number (not your username — check MySIS or your student ID card)
  • Your name must not appear anywhere on the assessment.

You may include colour or graphics on the title page if you wish, but this is optional and not required.
