    2.  Learning and Teaching Strategy

    A combination of lectures, individual and small group tutorials, alongside group based activities will be used to develop knowledge and understanding. Theory will be linked with examples from health and social care through the use of numerous case studies, role plays and workshops. This is aimed at enabling you to develop a clear understanding, considering how the theory and academic knowledge will link into health and social care practice. You will have an individual tutorial to consider the assessment. The theory will be linked with examples from health and social care and case studies will be used, which will give insight into how the academic knowledge fits with practice. You will have considerable one to one support from both tutors at the University. Distance and online resources will also be used to complement the learning process.

    7.   Assignment feedback

    Feedback on items of assessment can be formal (such as on a signed feedback form) or informal (such as advice from a tutor in a tutorial). Feedback is therefore not just your grade or the comments written on your feedback form, it is advice you get from your tutor and sometimes your peers about how your work is progressing, how well you have done, what further actions you might take.

     

    We recognise the value of prompt feedback on work submitted. Other than in exceptional circumstances (such as might be caused by staff illness), you can expect your assignment work to be marked and feedback provided not more than
    15 working days
    from the deadline date. However, please note that that such feedback will be provisional and unconfirmed until the Assessment Board has met and may therefore be subject to change.

     

    Please take time you read/listen to your assessment feedback. This can be very useful in determining your strengths and key areas for development, and can therefore help you improve on future grades.

    9.   Formative Assessment

    There are opportunities within this module for guidance on meeting the learning outcomes and learning from the taught components, which will be linked into the assessment strategy. There will be facilitated discussions around the key areas, with individual tutorial sessions to support this.

     

    You will have an individual tutorial enabling you to gain advice, support and feedback on your academic abilities and assist the module tutor to plan future sessions and support.

     

    You will be required to submit an outline plan of your assignment which will form the basis for your individual tutorial; you will also be given an opportunity to consider your reflection at the end of the module. This should be viewed as a formative assessment, aimed at helping you meet the needs of the summative assessment.

     

    Summative Assessment Strategy

    The report will consider the importance of care planning, looking at relevant theory and legislation / policy. You will also be required to formulate a flow chart which will examine the care planning process with reference to health and social care. This assessment strategy has been designed to enable you to demonstrate that you have met the intended learning outcomes of the module.

    11.   Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of Written Assignments:

     

    Assignments should be word-processed in Arial or Calibri Light 12 point font, be double-spaced, on A4 size paper. Writing should appear on only one side of the paper, be fully justified and with each page being numbered in the footer, numbering to be centred.

     

    There should be a title page detailing the programme, module title, assignment title, student number, marking Tutor and date of submission.
    Do not put your name on the assignment
    . It is good practice to put your student number in the top left hand side of the header of each page, and the date of submission in the top right.

     

    If there is a word count limit for your programme please include the following text:

    Word Count: You are expected to revise and edit your assignment to remain within +/- 10% of the indicative word length outlined. In order to ensure that word counts can easily be checked
    you should include a note of the word count
    as identified by your word processing package.  A deduction should be made from this figure for all tables, figures, appendices and references which DO NOT count towards the overall word limit.

     

    Students who exceed a specified word limit for a written assessment shall be subject to the following penalty system.

     

    Up to 10% over the specified
    word length
    = no penalty

    10 – 20% over the specified indicative word length = 5 marks subtracted but if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assessment.

    More than 20% over the indicative word length = if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be the pass mark for the assessment.

    Assignments shorter than the indicative word length will not have marks deducted (even if these are more than 10% short). However, it is likely to be an exceptional piece of work that covers the assignment requirements fully in much less than the set word count, less 10%.

     

    All written work must be referenced using the Harvard System, full details of which are available from the University’s Library website:

    http://www.bolton.ac.uk/library/Study-Skills/Referencing/Harvard-Referencing.aspx

     

    Unless otherwise notified by your Module Tutor, electronic copies of assignments, saved as a Word document, should be uploaded to the Moodle area for this module.
    Your Tutor will explain the process.  If you experience problems uploading your assignment to the designated area, then you must forward an electronic copy as an attached to your Module Tutor, BEFORE the due deadline.  The time you send the email with your assignment as an attachment, will evidence the time the assessment was submitted.

     

    Please note that when you submit your work to Moodle, it will automatically be checked for matches against other electronic information. The individual percentage text matches may be used as evidence in an academic misconduct investigation (see Section 13).

     

    Submission of assessments may be done on or before the published submission date. Assignments not available at this time will be considered as “late” unless an extension has been previously agreed, with the Programme Leader for your programme.

     

    Students who fail to submit assessments by the specified date (without an extension being granted or without accepted Mitigating Circumstances) will be subject to the following penalties:

     

    Up to 7 calendar days late = 10 marks subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment.

     

    More than 7 calendar days late = 1 mark will be awarded.

     

    Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that the assignment is submitted in the format/s specified in the Module Guide or on the Assessment Brief.

     

    YOU SHOULD
    ALWAYS
    ENSURE YOU KEEP A COPY OF ANY ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED BY WHATEVER METHOD

     

    In the case of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, an extension of up to 14 days after the assessment submission deadline may be granted by your Programme Leader, following firstly discussing the problem with the Module Tutor. 
    You should complete an Extension Request Form available from your Tutor and attach documentary evidence of your circumstances, prior to the published submission deadline
    .

     

    Requests for extensions for periods longer than 14 calendar days must be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedures.

     

            Requests for extensions which take a submission date past the end of the module (normally week 15) must also be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedures.

     

    See:
    http://www.bolton.ac.uk/Everything/StudentInfoPolicyZone/2017-18-Documents/MItigating-Circumstances-Regulations-and-Procedures-2017-18.pdf

     

    Please note that the failure of data storage systems is not considered to be a valid reason for an extension. It is therefore important that you keep multiple copies of your work on different storage devices before submitting it.

     

    Please refer to the Assessment Regulations for further details:

    2. Learning and Teaching Strategy

    A combination of lectures, individual and small group tutorials, alongside group based activities will be used to develop knowledge and understanding. Theory will be linked with examples from health and social care through the use of numerous case studies, role plays and workshops. This is aimed at enabling you to develop a clear understanding, considering how the theory and academic knowledge will link into health and social care practice. You will have considerable one to one support from your tutors at the University. There will also be some practical and skills session, related to areas such as self-reflection and group communications. Distance and online resources will also be used to complement the learning process. Academic skills development will be embedded within the modules, with the inclusion of study skills appropriate to the stage of study. HSO5000: Group Dynamics and Working in Teams Essay Assessment Papers.

    7. Assessment Feedback

     

    Feedback on items of assessment can be formal (such as on a signed feedback form) or informal (such as advice from a tutor in a tutorial). Feedback is therefore not just your grade or the comments written on your feedback form, it is advice you get from your tutor and sometimes your peers about how your work is progressing, how well you have done, what further actions you might take. HSO5000: Group Dynamics and Working in Teams Essay Assessment Papers.

    We recognise the value of prompt feedback on work submitted. Other than in exceptional circumstances (such as might be caused by staff illness),
    you can expect your assignment and examination work to be marked and feedback provided not more than

    15 working days
    from the deadline date. However, please note that that such feedback will be provisional and unconfirmed until the Assessment Board has met and may therefore be subject to change.

    Please take time you read or listen to your assessment feedback. This can be very useful in determining your strengths and key areas for development, and can therefore help you improve on future grades.

    9. Formative Assessment

     

    Formative assessment is employed to support your learning on the module, allowing you to reflect on feedback on your progress from your tutors and peers. It takes a variety of forms including verbal; written (via email feedback) and does not contribute to the final module mark. HSO5000: Group Dynamics and Working in Teams Essay Assessment Papers

    You will be asked to submit the introduction to your assignment along with evidence of your work towards learning outcome one for formative assessment. OR a draft plan indicating the overall structure of your essay.

    Formative assessment is systematic and planned assessment that you are expected to undertake and to receive feedback on, but is not considered at an assessment board and is not subject to internal or external moderation.

    11. Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of Written Assessments

    Adapt for other formats

    Written assessments should be word-processed in Arial or Calibri Light font size 12. There should be double-spacing and each page should be numbered. HSO5000: Group Dynamics and Working in Teams Essay Assessment Papers.

    There should be a title page identifying the programme name, module title, assessment title, your student number, your marking tutor and the date of submission.

    You should include a word-count at the end of the assessment (excluding references, figures, tables and appendices).

    Where a word limit is specified, the following penalty systems applies:

    ·         Up to 10% over the specified word length = no penalty

    ·         10 – 20% over the specified indicative word length = 5 marks subtracted (but if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assessment).

    ·         More than 20% over the indicative word length = if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark or more, then the final mark will capped at the pass mark for the assessment.

    All written  work should be referenced using the standard University of Bolton referencing style– see:
    http://www.bolton.ac.uk/bissto/Finding-Information/Referencing/Home.aspx

     

    Unless otherwise notified by your Module Tutor, electronic copies of assignments should be saved as word documents and uploaded into Turnitin via the Moodle class area. If you experience problems in uploading your work, then you must send an electronic copy of your assessment to your Module Tutor via email BEFORE the due date/time.

    6.      Please note that when you submit your work to Moodle, it will automatically be checked for matches against other electronic information. The individual percentage text matches may be used as evidence in an academic misconduct investigation (see Section 13).

    Late work will be subject to the penalties:

    Up to 7 calendar days late = 10 marks subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment.

    More than 7 calendar days late = 1 mark awarded

    In the case of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, an extension of up to 14 days after the assessment deadline may be granted. This must be agreed by your Programme Leader, following a discussion the Module Tutor.  You should complete an Extension Request Form available from your Tutor and attach documentary evidence of your circumstances, prior to the published submission deadline. HSO5000: Group Dynamics and Working in Teams Essay Assessment Papers.

     
    Requests for extensions for periods longer than 14 calendar days must be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedures.

    Requests for extensions which take a submission date past the end of the module (normally week 15) must also be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedures.

    See:
    http://www.bolton.ac.uk/Everything/StudentInfoPolicyZone/2017-18-Documents/MItigating-Circumstances-Regulations-and-Procedures-2017-18.pdf

     

    Please note that the failure of data storage systems is not considered to be a valid reason for an extension. It is therefore important that you keep multiple copies of your work on different storage devices before submitting it. HSO5000: Group Dynamics and Working in Teams Essay Assessment Papers.

     

    12.
    Procedures for Examinations (NOT APPLICABLE)

     

    13. Academic Misconduct

    Academic misconduct may be defined as any attempt by a student to gain an unfair advantage in any assessment. This includes plagiarism, collusion, commissioning amongst other offences. In order to avoid these types of academic misconduct, you should ensure that all your work is your own and that sources are attributed using the correct referencing techniques. You can also check originality through
    Turnitin. HSO5000: Group Dynamics and Working in Teams Essay Assessment Papers.
     

    Please note that penalties apply if academic misconduct is proven. See the following link for further details:
