SMC Coursework: assessment marking criteria The mark you receive will be influenced by the following: Marking Criterion Has the task been carried out as specified in the briefing sheet? Is there a coherent explanation of the processes involved in using the chosen skill? Is there a summary of the exercises and role plays that took place on the workshop and a critical evaluation of the skills developed? Quality of the discussion: is the argument coherent and does it follow a logical structure? Has the Cite Them Right Harvard referencing system been used correctly? Use of correct spelling, punctuation and grammar? Structure of the Report: Title page : Include the word count, the coursework title, the University of Westminster, the date, your seminar leader name, the module code and title. Abstract : Include an Abstract, which in practice is the same as an Executive Summary. It should not be too long (200-300 words) and should concentrate on what you did and how it went as well as what you found out about your own skill levels. It is not the same as an Page 4 of 8

Introduction. An Abstract stands alone and should include a brief summary of the findings of the report. Table of content : Include a table of content at the beginning of your report with page numbers. Introduction : A short introduction should introduce the whole report and not just the topic. i.e. introduce the purpose, the structure of the report (“say what you are going to say”) and the topic briefly.

Approximate proportions are as follows: Sections described above: iii & iv = 25%; v-x = 50%; xi = 25% Conclusion : Tie up your arguments in the conclusion; however this is not the place to include fresh evidence. Referencing : When you make direct quotes you should put them in inverted comas and give brief details of the source, including the page number e.g. (Rees and Porter, 2015, p.5). The full reference should appear in the list of references. You can cross check with examples from the library on how to lay out references. If the author/s’ names are part of the meaning of the sentence, leave the names out of the brackets. Report format : Insert page numbers in your report, use double spacing between the lines , use a bigger margin on the right, Use font Arial 12 or similar, use formal language, British English spelling. Word count: 2,000 words +/- 10% (excluding material on the title page, abstract, table of content, reference list at the end of the report and appendices). Page 5 of 8
