General Advice

Answer all questions set out within this assignment. It is important to read all of the question text, as additional answer specific advice may be provided. Where specific examples are required as part of the answering of a question, this requirement is made clear within the question text.

If further reading/research is used in the answering of any question, the original source of the supporting material must be made clear within the answer. We recommend the Harvard system of referencing to promote consistency, however referencing in this style is not a requirement of this qualification. Please see pages 23 and 24 for additional referencing guidance.

Answers provided to assignment questions must not contain any plagiarised material. Submissions will be scrutinized for plagiarism using ‘turnitin’ software. If plagiarism is detected, this will result in a fail and penalties may be imposed. Please see page 24 for additional plagiarism guidance.

Answers to questions must evidence knowledge and understanding correlating with the demands set out within the qualification specification, and outlined for clarity above. Your assignment must address the learning outcomes and assessment criteria, and include analysis and evaluation (where required) of the issues and topics you discuss.

Please Note: Pay particular attention to three components within each question that will help to shape the level of detail and analysis required within the answer:

1) The number of subsections within the question: – Each SAQ has been divided into one or more subsections, labelled A-Z.
Page 3 of 30 © Industry Qualifications 2018

– Answers must address all subsections contained within a particular SAQ. Omission of one or more subsections within an answer will result in the failure of the implicated SAQ. – Subsection specific guidance, where required, is written in italics beneath the subsection text – The maximum number of marks available for each subsection is made clear following the subsection text. – It is recommended that SAQ answers are structured and divided in accordance with the number of subsections.

2) The descriptor verb used to set the question; Critically analyse, critically compare, critically contrast, critically evaluate, critically appraise, evaluate, contrast, analyse, explain, assess, describe, identify: – The descriptor verb highlights the level of detail expected within each answer. This expectation correlates with the qualification specification and the mark scheme – There may be more than one descriptor verb used within a question of multiple subsections. – For clarity, the descriptor verb has been underlined and made bold within the SAQ text – Please refer to the definitions section below for additional information with regards to the specific requirements per descriptor verb.

3) The word count; SAQ specific and clearly indicated following the question text: – The word count should be used as a guide to the expected size of each SAQ answer. – The word count is provided as a range to permit a range of candidate response. – Where a word count is provided for a question with multiple subsections, this is the cumulative word count for all subsections combined. – A 10% leeway either side of this range is permitted before marks are deducted. – Please refer to page 24 for additional word count guidance.
NB. SAQ mapping to qualification specification (Assessment Criteria) is made clear within the assignment task below. Please refer to Appendix A for additional guidance.

Time Limits for SAQs

Whilst there is no formal time limit for SAQ completion, there is a time frame for the validity of the SAQ assignment. For view of the assignment validity parameters, please refer to the published moderation and awarding timetable, downloadable from the IQ website.

Submission Format

Answer all questions on a singular word document. Ensure each page has a header/footer containing your unique candidate number and the page number. Reference the question number prior to providing each answer. In addition to the assignment answers, ensure the provision of two documents:

1) A title page at the start of the document, stating your centre, candidate number, assessment number and date of assignment completion. Make this your first page. 2) A declaration page that states that the work is your own work and you are aware of plagiarism and have not plagiarised anything. The declaration must be signed and dated. Make this your final page.

Templates for the above two documents can be found on pages 29 and 30 of this document.

Submitting the Assignment

Upon completing the assignment, all candidates will have a word document containing; a title page, the assignment answers and a declaration page. Candidates must upload this document to their own specific landing portal/ portfolio of evidence to formalise the submission of their assignment.

Assignment Grading

The assignment will contribute towards your portfolio of evidence for this qualification. SAQ answers will be graded by the assessor and collectively can provide a maximal weight of 24% of the total available qualification marks.

As detailed in the qualification specification, for each SAQ, you are required to achieve a minimum of 55% of the available SAQ marks, in order to pass. Failure to achieve 55% within a particular SAQ will result in the repetition of all of the SAQs within the implicated unit(s) until a pass can be achieved. Alternative assignment material will be provided in these cases to prevent the predictability of assessment material.

Final Checklist Each Assignment document must contain:

1) A title page, stating your centre, candidate number, assessment number and date of assignment completion 2) A declaration that states that the work is your own work and you are aware of plagiarism and have not plagiarised anything. The declaration must be signed and dated. 3) Your candidate number on each page e.g. In the header/footer 4) Numbering of assignment tasks or questions correlating with that of the assignment brief 5) Numbered pages 6) A word count following each SAQ answer 7) A bibliography (if appropriate)

Assignment Task: Provide answers to the following 34 questions (1a – 7e). Please Note:  Each SAQ can have one or more subsection: Omission of a subsection will lead to the implicated SAQ not being met.  Each SAQ subsection: i. Is associated with a specific leading verb that defines the level of detail required within the answer (describe, explain, analyse etc.). Answers provided for each subsection must adhere to the level of detail specified within the subsection text. Please refer to the definitions section above. ii. Includes guidance as to the expected scope of the answer (guidance is in italics). iii. Requires both basic and more complex answers (ie. for each SAQ subsection, there are both basic and more complex mark conferring components). Omission of either of these can lead to the implicated SAQ not being met.  The word count is a cumulative total for all subsections within the particular SAQ: The word count is provided as a range to permit a range of candidate answer and does not relate to answer quality: A Succinct 100 word answer is just as valid (and likely to lead to full marks) as a larger 800 word answer.  ‘Assessment Criteria’ maps each SAQ to the applicable unit content within the qualification specification. Referral to the indicative content within this specification will assist with guiding the expected scope of each answer.  Where an SAQ answer requests reference to anatomy, restrict answers to that of the face only.

Appendix A:

General Guidance on Assignment Writing

This section is intended as a practical guide to writing your assignment, and addressing some of the questions learners often have and looking at how you need to approach an assignment.

Initial Questions

There are a number of questions you should ask yourself before starting to write:

1. What are the assessment criteria I need to cover? It is worth taking time before writing to understand what the assessment is looking for. If there is anything you do not understand, you need to find out before you start.

2. What are the questions that need to be answered? This might sound an odd question to be asked, but experienced tutors will tell you how distressing it can be when someone has spent a lot of time and effort on an assignment and not really answered the question which has been set!

3. How can I plan the work? Make a list of everything you need to do, and plan when you need to complete each stage by e.g. research, plan of written work, first draft etc. Plan out your written work before you start, as it will save time if you know which order you are going to write things in at the start. Then, stick to your plan.

4. What are the key words in the question? Pay particular attention to the key words in the question e.g. analyse, explain, describe and make sure you are doing what the question asks you to do. If you describe something when the question asks for an analysis, you will not get the marks.

5. What do these key words mean? Make sure you know what the different key words mean. If you are not sure, ask your tutor so you can be sure you are doing the right thing when you are answering the question.

6. How many examples to provide? If the questions asks for “examples” or “differences” (in the plural) you should provide a minimum of two unless otherwise stated; however if it asks for the “main issues” or “key points” you must provide these however many there are.
7. What critical review and reflection needs to take place? You should always critically review your own work and think about how you can improve it. Ideally, you will have time to do this before you hand it in for marking, but you should also review it and reflect on the process after you have received your assignment and mark back. Think about what you could have done better and what you have learned from the process that you can use next time.

Approach to researching and writing assignments

Plan: this is perhaps the most important part of the process. You may find it useful to begin by brainstorming ideas and sources of information essential for successful completion of the assignment with other students. It is always useful to receive feedback on the initial plan from your tutor.

Read: the qualification material and content will support the provision of answers to the assignment questions. If further reading/research is used in support of answers, evidence of source must be provided.*

Style: your writing style should be clear, accurate and succinct. The style of writing should flow and paragraphs should be linked. The presentation of each component within the assignment should be of a high standard with accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Review criteria: you will find it very useful to re-check your assignment against the assessment criteria to ensure that you have included everything that will be assessed.

*References/ citations

Remember to reference any books, journals, websites or other resources you use in support of work provided within this assignment. There are no requirements within this assignment for a particular format/style of referencing. However, the examples below follow the Harvard referencing system, a style that should be familiar to the majority of learners hence use within the present guide.

Referencing examples

Citing in the Body of the Text: When reference is made in the text to a particular document, the author or editor, compiler or translator, individual or organisation with the year of publication inserted in brackets.

This concept is discussed by Jones, B (1998).

Quotations:

1. Short quotations may be run into the text with name and date following the quotation -Singe, P (1990) p5 said that “Learning organisation is possible” 2. Longer quotations should be separated from the rest of the text by means of indentation and optional size reduction -“Learning organisations are possible because, deep down, we are all learners. No one has to teach an infant to learn. In fact no one has to teach infants anything. They are intrinsically inquisitive, masterful learners, who learn to walk, speak, and pretty much run their households all on their own.” Senge P. (1990) p5 3. Note in all cases the page number(s) should appear after the date in the text.

Book References:

1. Author(s) and Editors -Surname first, followed by first name(s) or initials (be consistent) Senge P. 2. Year of publication -If not known use n.d. or if unsure put a question mark by date (1997?). 3. Title -Capitalise the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns. -Use bold, italics or underline but be consistent. 4. Edition -Only include if not first edition. 5. Place of publication and publisher -Use a colon to separate these elements. -If not given use: s.l. (no place) and s.n. (no publisher) 6. Page numbers -Include if referring to a specific quotation.

Example: Senge, P. (1990) The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of The Learning Organisation: Century Business London

Journal References:

1. Author 2. Year of publication 3. Title of article 4. Title of journal (use bold, italic or underlined- as for complete books) 5. Volume number 6. Issue number and/or date 7. Page number
Example: Stone, K (2005) Influential People in ‘Manager’ The British Journal of Administrative Management. June/July 2005 p15

Web Page References:

1. Author of the page if known (use the first few words of the page title if not known) 2. As far as possible use the same information as you would provide for a print reference (author, date, title) 3. Web address 4. Date retrieved

Example: Abolish Politicians Website (no date) Retrieved on 30th August 2000 Example: Grassian, E (1999). Thinking Critically about World Wide Web Resources. Retrieved on 18th August 2000 from the World Wide Web: / stop http://www.libray.ucla.edu.libraried/college/insttruct/wev/crital.htm

Plagiarism

Candidates commit plagiarism when they copy, very closely imitate, paraphrase or cut and paste someone else’s work, ideas, and/or language and present it as their own.

It is the responsibility of the centre to:

 Explain what plagiarism is and why it is wrong to plagiarise  Explain the concept of intellectual property; the ownership of words, concepts, electronic materials, etc.  Develop centre policies to prevent plagiarism  Explain the consequences of committing plagiarism  Set differentiated, individual assignments for each candidate

Plagiarism is not permitted across any element submitted as part of the candidate portfolio of evidence. This includes SAQ answers. If plagiarism is detected, this will result in a fail and penalties may be imposed. It is the responsibility of the centre to ensure the authenticity of all candidate submitted work as submissions will be scrutinized using ‘turnitin’ software.

Word count

Each assignment or question will have a word count, provided as a range. If candidate answers fall short of/exceed this word count, marks will be deducted proportionate to the discrepancy. A 10% leeway is permitted either side of the started range before marks will be deducted.

For clarity, candidates should always reference their SAQ answer specific word count at the end of their answer text, prior to moving on to the next question within the assignment.
