To 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:
Save your assignment with
coversheet and bibliography as a
single document ( as a PDF or Word)
before uploading to QMPlus.
Assignments in formats other
than PDF or Word cannot processed via Turnitin and will be treated as a non-submission[.
Your assignments must be submitted by 11.55 pm on the deadline date.
If the coursework is
submitted 7 days (168 hours) or more
after the deadline, without an
approved extension, the work will not be
assessed and will automatically receive a
mark of zero (0FL) to denote late submission.
Any assignment accidentally
left as a status of draft and no-submitted will be treated as a non-submission.
Save back-up copies of all
your work in case of computer failure.
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.
