Writing well and avoiding academic misconduct Plagiarism, collusion, and cheating in exams are all forms of academic misconduct which the University takes very seriously. Every year, some students commit academic misconduct unintentionally because they did not know what was expected of them. The consequences for committing academic misconduct can be severe, so it is important that you familiarise yourself with what it is and how to avoid it. The University’s S3 guide to study skills gives advice on writing well, including hints and tips on how to avoid making serious mistakes. Visit http://sussex.ac.uk/s3/writingwell and make use of the resources there. You will also find helpful guides to referencing properly and improving your critical writing skills. If you are dealing with difficult circumstances, such as illness or bereavement, do not try to rush your work or hand in something which may be in breach of the rules. Instead you should seek confidential advice from the Student Life Centre. The full University rules on academic misconduct are set out in the Undergraduate Examination and Assessment Handbook; see http://www.sussex.ac.uk/academicoffice/documentsandpolicies/examinationandassessme nthandbooks/undergraduateexaminationhandbook Global Studies submission guidelines 1. Students are encouraged to type or word process assignments. Handwritten submissions will be accepted for marking, although handwriting is discouraged, and illegible scripts may be returned to candidates with a demand that they be typed at the student's expense. 2. Assignments must be submitted to the Global Studies School Office (Arts C168). The date and time of submission will be recorded electronically so students should bring their University ID. 3. Students should submit TWO clean copies of each submission with a cover sheet that includes their candidate number, course title etc. Please do not put your name anywhere on your work. One annotated copy will be returned to the student. Group and individual feedback comments can be found on Sussex Direct. The mark at this stage is provisional and may be subject to revision. The second copy will be kept for audit purposes and external examiner scrutiny. 4. Students should familiarise themselves with the Global Studies late submission penalties as outlined on the website http://www.sussex.ac.uk/global/internal/forstudents. It should be noted that where online coursework feedback will lead to an advantage for late submitters (such as in the case of in-class tests, numerical answers etc) the retrieval date will be considerably shorter than the University set deadline in the Summer term. Your course tutor will be informing you of this date. 4. All Geography coursework is subject to a process of non-blind double marking. In addition a random sample of scripts will be scrutinised by the Geography External Examiner for monitoring purposes. In the rare case that either procedure reveals problems with the marking process the Department will take appropriate steps (such as blind double marking or re-scaling) to ensure that no candidate is disadvantaged.

6. In case of multiple assessments the Module Convenor will calculate a final mark as an average of all grades. The denominator will in each case be the number of assignments required. Students who submit fewer than the required number of assignments will see their average fall. Where candidates attain an average of 69% or above, or below 40%, all the assignments counted will be sent to the External Examiner for confirmation. 7. Markers will remain alert to the possibility of plagiarism as defined in the Handbook for Examiners, and assignments found to contain plagiarised material may be penalised. Exercises must contain a bibliography or other form of referencing if appropriate. Module Evaluation Mechanisms The module will be evaluated by means of an electronic questionnaire. The full data set can be viewed online. See http://www.sussex.ac.uk/tldu/ideas/eval/ceq/faq/students for information on how to perform a search on Sussex Direct. However, we also value informal feedback on module content and the teaching and learning experience. Rural Livelihoods in the Global South, 2013 - F8017 27
