Instructions
The assessment will count for 100% of your total marks for this module.
Your completed assessment must be submitted electronically to Turnitin through Minerva VLE by 12 noon on Friday 17th May 2024. To do this, you must log into Minerva Portal & VLE and click on the ‘Modules’ tab. Select the appropriate module title (named at the top of this template), then click on ‘Submit My Work’ in the Assessment and Feedback folder. Select the link to the relevant assessment then upload your work. By submitting your assessed work through the VLE you are accepting the Declaration of Academic Integrity, extending to a declaration that the work is not plagiarised and that the word count is accurately stated.
You should complete an Assessed Coursework Cover Sheet with details of your Student ID number, Module Code & Title and Declared Word Count and insert this at the beginning of your assessment before uploading to Turnitin.

Work which is submitted after the deadline will be penalised in accordance with University rules as follows: you will be deducted 5 marks for every 24 hour period or part thereof that your assessment is overdue, up to 14 days. If your work is more than 14 days late, or if the deduction is larger than the mark you receive, you will receive a mark of 0.
Extensions of the deadline for submission can only be granted in exceptional circumstances and can only be obtained from Student Support Officers (StudentSupportLaw@leeds.ac.uk).
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have submitted the correct version of your work. If, after making a submission, you claim that you mistakenly submitted a draft, the wrong version or a different assessment, the original version, which was submitted by the deadline, will still be treated as your submission.
You should obtain your digital receipt of submission. You are also required to keep an additional copy of your work for your own reference. In addition you must keep your notes and draft copies of the work.

You should ensure that you do not include your name anywhere on your assessment in order that it remains anonymous for marking – however, you should include your Student ID number, module code, module title and state the word count on the header of each page and as the file name of your document.
The length of your work should not exceed 1,500 words (excluding footnotes, endnotes, bibliography, and restatement of the assessment question). If you exceed the maximum by less than 10% no penalty will be applied.
Plagiarism and Cheating
It is essential that your assessed work represents your own work and that it has not been produced in collusion with any other party. Text and ideas derived from written sources (including electronic sources) must be acknowledged by way of appropriate citation. If you are not aware of the University’s rules on plagiarism and academic malpractice, please familiarize yourself with the relevant regulations as set out on the secretariat website. You should also refer to the Academic Integrity Handbook on Minerva VLE under Organisation/Law/Undergraduate/Academic Integrity. APA.
