Assignment Instructions

Submitting your Assignment:

It is important that you submit your assessment ON TIME. If you think you will have difficulty submitting your assessment on time you must speak to your module tutor as a matter of urgency. If you fail to submit your assignment on time, you should consider submitting an ‘Extenuating Circumstances’ claim.

If you submit after the submission date/time and do not have any extenuating circumstances for this, it will be marked as LATE and will not be marked (0% awarded).

If you feel you cannot make the hand-in date or that there are reasons for you underperforming in the assessment, you need to discuss it with your tutor as soon as possible and also complete an online Extenuating Circumstances form (available via a link on My Portal- Staffordshire University) within 5 working days of the submission

date to explain the reason for this; you will need to provide some evidence to support such a claim (e.g. a medical certificate for illness).

Students who achieve well with the summative assessments:

• Always attend to the assignment brief, ensuring that they are clear about the focus and parameters of the brief.

• Utilise relevant research/authoritative literature to support discussions.
