General Information & Policy
Referencing
Plagiarism
Student assignments are to contain original content created by the students. Assignments will be rejected if they include plagiarised content or contain excessive amounts of quoted/cited material and minimal original content. Students will receive a grade of ZERO (0%) for any assignments rejected for this reason. Written assignments WILL BE checked by the lecturer with Turnitin.com, an online plagiarism-checking tool.
Sources
Furthermore, your reference to support your statements must be from a reliable source, such as textbooks, additional reading materials, and reference books. However, many websites are not reliable sources. Examples are Wikipedia.org, about.com, and ask.com. If you are not sure if a reference is acceptable or not, please contact the lecturer.
Referencing & Citation
The Vancouver style will serve as the primary reference materials for all students. Therefore, all papers must be submitted in Vancouver format. The mechanics of student papers and work will be evaluated, as well as the content. It is imperative that guidelines be reviewed before an assignment is begun. It is also important that the required submission format be followed in compiling the final paper or assignment.
Submission
Assignment cover sheet
All assignments are required to be submitted with an Assignment Cover Sheet.
Group assignments are to be submitted with a Group Assignment Cover Sheet as well as a Peer Evaluation Form depending on the request of unit instructor.
Non-contributing team members can sometimes be an issue with group-work structured assessment. Individual student group work scores may be adjusted as a result of peer dissatisfaction with a particular student’s contribution to group work assignments, as reflected in submissions of the evaluation form.
Note:
Assignment cover sheets and the evaluation form can be located on MyISB system
Students are advised to keep a copy of all assignments submitted for marking.
Submission style
Assignments are expected to achieve a professional standard:
Be typed, one and a half spaced, on A4 paper
Use a simple clear format, suitable for a report to senior management in a commercial organisation.
Submission method
Soft copy: submitted electronically via E-learning system by 11:55 PM on the due date (Suggested title: Student name_Unitname_Name of Assignment).
