100% online. 

You are required to submit a digital version of your assignments through the MyUni assignments portal as a PDF. Direct emails to the course co-ordinator or instructor/ tutor will NEITHER be accepted NOR count as being “in the system”. No hardcopy is required. Please note that assignments will be passed through the “Turnitin” plagiarism checking software.

Helpful guides for academic writing and observance of the Harvard referencing style conventions and protocols are provided on The 成人大片 Writing Centre web page (see Writing Centre) and in The Communication Skills Guide.  A copy of the guide can be downloaded from   This publication also provides guidelines on a range of other important communication skills including writing essays and making oral presentations, etc.

In preparing any written piece of assessment for your studies it is important to draw on the relevant ‘literature’ to support critical analysis. Also essential is to reference the literature used. Correct referencing is important because it identifies the source of the ideas and arguments that you present and the source of the actual words you use, helping to avoid the problem of plagiarism. The Harvard system is widely used in Business Schools and use of this style of referencing can be found in the Communication Skills Guide. Further assistance with referencing and writing is available from The 成人大片 Writing Centre and the Faculty’s Learning Support Advisors (or contact the u/g Hub in the first instance).

You should consistently and appropriately reference your assignments using the Harvard referencing system. You should try to cite peer-reviewed academic journals and specialist books in the area. Your submission should look like something that you would be proud to present in a professional environment (i.e. presented in a professional manner) and be free of grammatical and spelling errors.

Late Submission
To maintain a fair and equitable system for all students, you are required to submit your work by the due date. Extensions are generally only given for medical or compassionate reasons. All requests for extensions must be emailed to the tutor before the due date and should be accompanied by documentary evidence from a social service professional (e.g. doctor, counsellor, psychologist) confirming the circumstances that require an extension. The tutor will then assess the application, seek advice from the course coordinator if necessary, and make a decision on whether an extension is granted. You should start early on assignments so that foreseeable pressures like work or assessment for other courses does not delay you completing assignments for this course on time. A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a mark reduction for each day that it is late. Assignments that are submitted late will be penalised at 5% of the potential grade per day.

Return of Assignments
Markers aim to mark and return assignments to students within two weeks of the due date with written feedback. Students will be able to access their marked assignments from their MyUni web site.
