What is expected from you?

Attendance A minimum attendance rate of 90%, over the year is required for the successful completion of the course. Perfect attendance is not always possible, but absences should be kept to a minimum, and your tutor must be informed of the reason. Please make every effort to let your tutor know you will be absent before the start of the class. It is the student’s responsibility to catch up with notes, handouts, etc. from any missed classes. If your attendance falls below 90% you might be subject to disciplinary procedures.

Punctuality Please ensure that you arrive at your lectures and classes on time! Late arrivals can delay the start of important classes and disrupt those that are currently in progress. If your punctuality falls below 98% you might be subject to disciplinary procedures.

PLAGIARISM (copying another student’s work) Plagiarism means using another person's ideas or a part of their work and pretending that it is your own.

All work you hand in must be your own. If you plagiarise, you will fail the course. You may also affect the grades of all other students on your course.

This is what is expected of you whilst you are at the College:  You will only hand in your own original work for assessment.  You will show when you have used information provided by someone else by giving the person’s name and where you found the information, For example, if you use someone else’s words you will enclose the quote with inverted commas. You will also repeat this information at the end of the piece (this is called a bibliography/reference section).  You will show when you have downloaded information from the Internet  You will never use another’s disk as if it were your own work, nor copy work from a disk belonging to someone else and use if as if it were your own.  You will never use someone else’s artwork, pictures or graphics (including graphs, spreadsheets etc.) as if they were made by you.  You will never let other student’s use or copy from your work and pass it off as if they had done it themselves.

How will I be assessed?

All units for this program are internally assessed by the tutor delivering the unit.

Submission of Coursework  All assignments will be submitted online on Turnit in. Your assignments need to be uploaded on Ilearn.  Coursework will be marked and returned to students within 2 to 3 weeks, with developmental feedback included. Students can make amendments and resubmit work within a further 2 week period (This is a new deadline date and is shown on the feedback sheet and must be met).  Coursework deadlines must be met (Dates shown on assignment).  All deadlines have to be agreed with the Curriculum Manager and Unit Tutor.

Grading The qualification will be “Pass” or “Refer” and all the assessment criteria for the chosen units must be achieved in order to obtain a pass

Internal/ external Verification Policy The Internal Verifier will verify all the units. Once an assessor has marked an assignment it is passed to the internal verifier for verification.

The external verification/moderation will take place during the academic year for sampling of work.

Exam board CACHE exam board Collecting Information Details of all assignments are given in on the assignment brief. Your course tutor study will provide any additional information required. It is the student’s responsibility to find the information necessary to complete each assignment, but your course tutor will give help where appropriate or requested. Please ask for help if there is anything in the assignment (or elsewhere on the course), that you do not understand.

What will I have to buy?

• Course text book • Lever arch file • dividers • pens • Pencil • ruler • plastic wallets • USB What is expected of me?

• Follow the college rules • Maintain a high attendance, punctuality percentage.

• It is also essential that you devote a significant number of hours to your studies outside of college. If you are aiming at passing all your assignments and you all should be, it is not enough to simply turn up for lessons. You need to set aside a number of hours each week either at home or in the campus when you work on unit assignments.

Who will be helping me to learn?

Your subject tutor will deliver the course content. You will also have a personal tutor who will help you organise and plan your study in relation to unit assessment hand in dates; these will be recorded within an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and updated throughout the year.

Appealing against Formal Assessments If you are dissatisfied with an assessment grade you receive for a piece of work that will contribute to your final award, you have the right to appeal. A document has been produced that explains in full how it will be dealt with.

In brief, you will appeal initially to the person who assessed the work with reasons within 5 college working days of the work being returned. At this stage the assessor will deal with the appeal personally, looking at the work again and the reasons

presented. Hopefully, the appeal will be resolved at this stage with the grade remaining or being amended.

Should you still be unhappy, you have the right to move the appeal to the next stage where another member of staff will review your case, checking the reasons and evidence objectively.

Should this still not reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion, an Appeals Panel will be convened to hear the appeal. You will be part of the panel and may be accompanied by a friend. The decision of the panel will be final.

Copies of the full Appeals Procedure are available from your course manager and Division office.

Complaints procedure We have a complaints procedure that asks you to begin by talking to your personal tutor or course manager about any difficulties. If this informal approach does not sort out the problem, we ask you to put things in writing (you can ask for help with this) using the complaints form available from Reception. However, in all cases, please talk to someone as soon as possible, as things can often be sorted out in the early stages before you and your studies are upset.

We hope to avoid the need for complaints by having a set of College rules that are there to ensure that everyone gets the same chance to learn and succeed. There is also a system of appeals, so that if you feel that the College has not treated you fairly, you can put your view. Between the Rules and the Complaints Procedures we hope to keep things flowing smoothly with a fair deal for all students and staff.

What do I need to bring?

You need:  a ring binder file  dividers  A4 paper  pens, pencils and a rubber  a notebook

You must organise your work.

File your work in a ring binder and use the dividers to organise it.

Your folder of work will be used to check your progress.

You must concentrate in your lesson.

Please switch your mobile phone off before you go into your classroom and put it in your bag or pocket.
