The assignment for this module is due in next Friday (11th December) between 11 – 2 at Ellen Terry Reception. Full details of what is expected of you is in the module booklet, available from the Downloads of Module Documents section of the blog.

It is VITAL that you give something in for this submission. The University regulations have recently changed and if you do not give anything in, you will not be eligible for a resit and YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN HONOURS DEGREE AT THE END OF THE COURSE. So, if it looks likely that you will not be able to submit (although, given the amount of preparatory work that you have already done, nobody should be in this position!) you have three main options:
1) you need to submit something (even if it is only a piece of paper with your name on) which means that you will get a low mark for the module but will be eligible for a resit (and have your mark capped at 40%)
2) if there are valid reasons why you cannot submit, you can apply for an extension of up to three weeks. To do this you need to talk to your Level Tutor and arrange the extension BEFORE the submission date. They cannot be given after the submission date nor is any member of the course team able to give such an extension (unless they are your level tutor as well)
3) if there are longer term issues that mean that an extension is not appropriate, you can apply for a deferral. This needs to be sorted THIS WEEK as the deferral has to be given before the submission date.

If you need help in writing the essay, you can obtain essay writing worksheets from the Study Skills section on the ground floor of the Library and, if you wish, arrange a meeting with satff from the Centre for Academic Writing who will look over your essay and give you feedbackl on how it can be improved. In addition, next week there will be no classes on Thursday 10th but, instead, all staff on the module will have tutorial time where you can come and show them the nearly-finished draft. Sheets will be posted outside each staff member’s room today or tomorrow. Please e-mail them a copy of your assignment the day before the tutorial.

If there is ANYTHING that you do not understand in this message, please speak to the module staff TODAY.

Good luck with your assignments.

The Course Team
