Students must make themselves familiar with the details of MICL/UL policies in regard to attendance at lectures and tutorials, submitting written work on the designated date/time, and presenting themselves on the designated dates/times for all the tests and examinations involved in the assessment procedures for this course. Similarly students must know and observe the MIC/UL regulations forbidding copying, syndication and plagiarism. All students who take this course must be available for all parts of the assessment procedures as they are timetabled. Essays must be typed and presented in the proper academic format.

In the case of ‘Open Book’ exams, students MUST have a clean copy of the text, without any notes or writing whatsoever on those texts.All essays must be referenced as per the department style sheet, the Harvard Style Sheet, available on the departmental website.

Students seeking “I” grades for undelivered essays/unattended tests, examinations etc. must conform exactly to the MICL/UL regulations for obtaining “I” Grades. Knowing and implementing these regulations is the responsibility of each student. All recognized doctors’ and/or bereavement certificates requesting an “I” Grade for undelivered essays/unattended tests, examinations etc. must be handed in to the Registrar.

“I”Grades awarded for undelivered essays, unattended tests, examinations etc., and all failing grades, may be cleared only by the assessment procedures linked to the autumn examinations.

In the autumn examinations, 100% of the marks for the module will be available for repeating students (i.e. no tutorial mark will be counted). Material that was formerly examined by essay will be examined by exam questions in the autumn examinations which will have 3 questions and last for 135 minutes.

“I” Grade students will take the above examination, answering whatever section(s) they have “I” Grade(s) for and being marked out of the same percentage of marks as was originally assigned to the section which was missed; if the “I” Grade is for an undelivered essay, the same topic will be covered by an exam question in the autumn examinations.

Plagiarism, or any form of unreferenced copying, will be dealt with by theMIC policy on plagiarism.

Students may be asked to submit an electronic copy of any essay which will be screened electronically through ‘Turnitin’, a plagiarism detection system.
