In-Course AssessmentTo be eligible
for a Queen Mary degree you must
complete an approved programme of
study. Your programme of study is comprised
of a selection of modules, and it is
the final mark achieved in these
modules that is used to calculate your overall classification mark/final classification. Coursework Submission You are expected to submit all elements of assessments for each of your modules, by the advertised deadlines. Failure to do so may result in your failing the module and will affect your final classification. You must submit one electronic copy of all assignments. Your electronic copy must be submitted via Queen Mary’s Virtual Learning Environment (QMPlus). The School has a policy of anonymous marking. Your name must NOT appear anywhere on your work, only your student number. Your electronic copy must be submitted by 11.55 pm on the deadline date, and will be retained and screened by anti-plagiarism software (Turnitin) You must ensure that you include the coursework feedback and cover sheet as the first page of your assignment. Coversheets are available alongside assignment links on QMPlus. REMEMBER:
It is your responsibility to make sure that the assignment has been uploaded successfully. Make sure that you have uploaded the right file. You will receive an email confirming receipt of your essay. The email will be sent to your QMUL account (please check your junk mail folder if the email does not arrive to your inbox). It is important that you give yourself sufficient time to check your submission has been successful; this is another good reason for submitting well ahead of the deadline. If you are having problems uploading your assignment, please contact Helen Murray (spir-assessments@qmul.ac.uk) in the School Office. Participation in Formative Assessments Formative assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning. It does not contribute to your final module mark, but it is an integral part of the learning process. You are expected to participate in these assessments which can be subject related quizzes, or exercises linked to module materials on QMPlus. Your seminar
tutor is available to give
assistance and guidance on what is expected
with regards to module assessment and they
are a vital source of feedback. Although they
can recommend specific reading and discuss
essay plans they cannot read and comment
on complete rough drafts of essays. Each piece of work that you submit will be subject to a strict deadline. It is important that you meet all deadlines. Extensions will not be given just because you have to submit multiple assessments on the same day. It is your responsibility to ensure you manage your time efficiently to meet the demands for all of your modules. If
you are unable to meet any of your
deadlines due to unforeseen circumstances,
such as medical problems or a family tragedy,
you must contact the Undergraduate Student
Support and Timetabling Manager immediately
who will advise you to complete an extenuating circumstances form.
You will need to submit this,
complete with supporting
documentation, to the Office.
NOTE: Coursework submitted late, will be penalised at the rate of 5 marks for each 24 hour period, or part thereof, after the set submission date. An assignment handed in 7 days or more late will not be marked and awarded a mark of zero (0FL) to indicate it was received too late. College academic regulations state that students must complete all components of a module i.e. coursework and examination to pass that module. If you do not submit an item of coursework and do not have extenuating circumstances you may fail the module. |
