in the education sector?
Criteria for assessment of papers
It is expected that students will investigate the work of writers on the topic to be studied. To
gain a high grade students need to:
• Analyse and synthesise these ideas. This means to compare and contrast the ideas,
arguments, debates and statements and draw conclusions.
• ensure clarity of expression and well organised material which acknowledges the source
Of all information.
• Provide evidence of thorough research into the topic.
• draw links between theory, research and real work situations.
• Indicate insights gained into leadership and its impact.
• Provide justification and logical argument for personal insights.
• Give evidence of critical reflection.
• Integrate key issues concerning leadership.
• List references correctly and accurately.
• respond to the question and ensure that the argument is focused
Essays should be intellectually convincing, demonstrate logic and structure and contain careful and adequate referencing of sources used for argument. Assessment will
also take into account the breadth of reading. At this level it is expected that students will write clearly and concisely and in a way that the reader will
understand. Information presented verbally and participation in debate is considered important. Word limit guidelines should be adhered to. (Bibliographies are not
counted in word limits.) Format and presentation are important. Material should be typed and organised logically. It is strongly recommended that students develop a
plan, before attempting to write.
Referencing
APA style is required for all School of Education topics. Please refer to ‘Referencing resources’
Penalties may apply if APA style conventions are not followed.
• Check that the quotations/citations used are relevant and serve to support the points/argument being made.
• Avoid overuse of quotations (no more than about 5% of word length). Quotations should be used sparingly.
• Academic integrity is taken very seriously. It is essential to cite your sources using APA style of referencing to avoid plagiarism
I uploaded file APA referencing system.
Note: References to be the last ten years please make sure can I access to all References because my tutor going check all reference
Points to consider when writing an assignment
• Read the assignment details carefully and underline the key aspects that need to be
addressed.
• Before submitting the assignment re-read the assignment details and check that you have in fact addressed all the points that have been mentioned.
• Use an academic style of writing including an introduction and conclusion. The introduction should outline the approach to be taken and the conclusion summarises the
argument and leaves the reader with something to think about. Paragraphs should follow sequentially with the first sentence of each paragraph indicating the main theme
of the paragraph to provide the reader with an idea of the author’s intention or to act as an introduction. Writing should be succinct and coherent, synthesising the
reading material with personal interpretation.
• Ensure that you have met and not exceeded the word count.
• Use the academic terminology relevant to the topic.
• Avoid the use of the first person in an academic paper unless requested to in the assignment details.
• Format with double spacing with a 3 centimetre margin.
• If using abbreviations, use the expanded version in the first instance accompanied by the abbreviation and then just the abbreviation after that, for example,
curriculum-based evaluation (CBE).
• Proof-read and edit work before submission.
• Provide a variety of sentence starters rather than repeating the same over.
• References should be on a separate page titled References.
• Check that all citations in the text are detailed in the reference section. Only references cited in the text should be detailed in the reference section. Page
numbers must be cited when using a direct quotation.
