General requirements for written assessment (coursework)

• Importance of meeting deadlines: All written assignments must be submitted by the deadline specified by your class tutor. Any assessment that is submitted late (without valid mitigating circumstances) will be capped at 40%.
• Format of individual assessment: Coursework should be completed in English on A4 paper, preferably in double-spaced typescript.
• You will be expected to attach an individual assessment cover sheet (available from your lecturer) to each piece of coursework submitted, and you will have to sign each one to declare that the work is your own.
• The lecturer will record his or her marks on the cover sheet.
• After the work has been marked, it will be returned to you with the cover sheet.
• You must retain the work and the cover sheet(s), in case you are asked to resubmit your work for final moderation.

• Submitting coursework electronically: Some Birkbeck departments require coursework to be submitted electronically, either via email or uploaded through turnitin on Blackboard, the Bloomsbury Learning Environment (BLE). You should refer to your module or programme guide for instructions on how to submit, or contact the programme administrator.
