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:
http://www.bolton.ac.uk/Everything/StudentInfoPolicyZone/2017-18-Documents/Academic-Misconduct-Regulations-and-Procedures-2017-18.pdf
