Key Terminologies

Describe

To describe means to create a picture with words but not simply writing a list of bullet points.

Explain

To explain something, you will need to provide a clear account of your understanding, including details like why

and how.

Analyse

To analyse something, you consider it carefully and in detail in order to understand or explain it.

To analyse, identify the main parts or ideas of a subject and examine or interpret the connections between them.

Evaluate

To evaluate, decide on your subject’s significance, value, or quality after carefully studying its good and bad features.Use authoritative (eg, from established authors or theorists in the field) and, to some extent, personal appraisal of both contributions and limitations of the subject. Similar to assess.

Discuss

To discuss in an essay, consider your subject from different points of view. Examine, analyse and present considerations for and against the problem or statement.

Critically

Guidelines to Meet the Requirements of the Assignment

Points to consider

Explanation

1. In-text

Citations and References

In-text citations and references are the fundamental requirements of the assignment. Must incorporate in-text citations with each criterion and incorporate references to those citations in the bibliography section. Make sure that all in-text citations and references are in the proper Harvard style. This includes correct formatting, author names, publication dates, and page numbers. Accurate citations reflect academic integrity and adherence to scholarly standards. Additionally, avoid utilising blogs or websites like Wikipedia, indeed, etc. for the content. Utilise peer- reviewed articles, journals and books to enhance the effectiveness of your content.

2. Relevancy of Content

Align the content with each assignment criterion. Focus on the action verbs (e.g., assess, evaluate, identify, describe, demonstrate,explain)mentioned in the criteria and modify your responses accordingly.Irrelevant content will lead to a loss of marks and possible failure.

3. Paragraph Form and Suitable Headings

Avoid using unnecessary bullet points and short sentences. Instead, address each criterion in a well-structured paragraph with appropriate headings. This ensures clarity and coherence in your writing, making it easier for evaluators to follow your argument. Make sure that each criterion is clearly presented with proper formatting, including headings,paragraphs, and consistent style throughout.

4.Comprehensive Coverage of Criteria according to   Assignment brief

Address all the criteria listed in the assignment brief. Missing any criterion could result in not achieving a passing grade. Make sure your response fully addresses and gives appropriate consideration to each criterion. Additionally, follow the additional guidelines or scenarios (if given) in the brief to stay relevant to the demand of the criteria.

5. Word Count Adherence

Strictly follow the word count policy mentioned in the assignment brief. Falling short of the required word count can lead to failure.Plan your response to meet the word count while maintaining quality.

6. Avoid Using AI- Generated Content

Refrain from relying on AI-generated content for your assignments.Such content lack depth,originality,relevance, and could lead to academic integrity issues. Focus on creating authentic work that reflects your own understanding and research.

7. Authentic Work Submission

Ensure that any work submitted for assessment is genuinely your own. Submitting jointly written work as your own is considered academic

misconduct, which can lead to penalties.

8. Avoid using someone else work

Using someone else`s work whether copied word-for-word or slightly rephrased without giving proper credit is plagiarism.

9.

Duplication/self- plagiarism

Submitting work that largely repeats material previously graded for the same or another course, here or elsewhere, counts as self-plagiarism, unless it’s an improved version approved for reassessment.This is considered academic misconduct.

10. Material proofreading

Use Microsoft Word`s grammar and spell check, the use of Grammarly is strictly prohibited due to its AI text-generation capabilities
