Submitting written work for assessment  (this note is relevant to all students!)

                   Individual students or groups of students submitting written work as part of their continuous assessment must include
                   a copy of the plagiarism declaration signed by all students.  This declaration should be signed by all students and bound into the work
                   after the title page.  Students should familiarise themselves with plagiarism regulations.

                   The title page of the written work should include programme name, module name, module code, academic year, semester,
                   date submitted, student name(s), and student identification number(s).

                   Students should complete the programme name, module name, module code, report title, student name(s), and student
                   identification number(s) in the space provided on a report assessment sheet; students should include this as a loose attachment
                   to the report. Students should note that the report assessment sheet acts as a framework for assessing student written work. 

                   Students should also note that a presentation assessment sheet is used as a framework for assessing student presentations.

                   Students should use the author-date system of referencing.  See short guide available from the library or Chicago Manual of Style.

                   Other useful online resources: DCU library's online tutorial and Strunk and White's Elements of Style

                   DON'T FORGET: ALWAYS KEEP A COPY OF ANY WRITTEN WORK SUBMITTED.
