Guidelines for completion and Submission |
|
Plagiarism and Collusion In submitting the assignment Learner’s must complete a statement of authenticity confirming that the work submitted for all tasks is their own. The statement should also include the word count. ILC recommends the following to check plagiarism/similarity. https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism-checker |
|
https://www.scanmyessay.com Learners are required to attach the similarity report in submission slot or email to tutor. Plagiarism and collusion are treated very seriously. Plagiarism involves presenting work, excerpts, ideas or passages of another author without appropriate referencing and attribution. Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit work which is so alike in ideas, content, wording and/or structure that the similarity goes beyond what might have been mere coincidence Referencing A professional approach to work is expected from all learners. Learners must therefore identify and acknowledge ALL sources/methodologies/applications used. The learner must use Harvard Referencing system to achieve this. Marks are not awarded for the use of English; however, the learner must express ideas clearly and ensure that appropriate terminology is used to convey accuracy in meaning. Appendices You may include appendices to support your work, however appendices must only contain additional supporting information, and must be clearly referenced in your assignment. You may also include tables, graphs, diagrams, Gantt chart and flowcharts that support the main report should be incorporated into the end of the assignment report that is submitted. Any published secondary information such as annual reports and company literature, should be referenced in the main text of the assignment, in accordance of Harvard Style Referencing, and referenced at the end of the assignment. Word Count Policy Learners must comply with the required word count, within a margin of ±10%. These rules exclude the index, headings, tables, images, footnotes, appendices and information contained within references and bibliographies. When an assessment task requires learners to produce presentation slides with supporting notes, the word count applies to the supporting notes only. Submission of Assignments All work to be submitted on the due date. All work must be submitted in a single electronic document (.docx file). Key Terminologies |
