Submission of Assignments in Psychology

To help us handle and mark your work as quickly as possible, (so that it can be returned to you as quickly as possible!) it would be a great help to us if you could adopt the guidelines stated below. Please could we also particularly draw your attention to the important points highlighted as bullet points and with a * below; these are requirements rather than guidelines, and failure to meet them will affect your mark.

• * Please hand in one copy of your assignment to the reception on the ground floor of the Mellor Building, attaching the relevant coversheet. It is VERY important that you keep your receipt safely, as you may be asked to produce it in the future.

Please type your work in 12 point font using either 1½ or double spacing. Pages should be numbered. (Handwritten assignments are not acceptable)

Please staple your pages together in the top left-hand corner. Please don’t use paperclips.

On the front sheet of your assignment, please include the following:

- your student number
- the title of your assignment
- the module for which it is being submitted
- your module/seminar tutor’s name
- your personal tutor’s name
- the word count

To ensure that our policy of blind marking can be successfully carried out, please do not include your name. Your student number should appear on all other pages in your assignment, but this can be handwritten on if necessary.

Please do not use any ring binders, files or plastic folders. You may use a clear plastic sleeve if you wish, but any folders other than a plastic sleeve will be removed and may not be returned. The only exception to this is where your work does not fit into a plastic sleeve (eg. portfolios), and in these cases your work should be submitted in a card folder or suitable equivalent.

• * Assignments claiming an inaccurate word count will be failed.
• * Assignments which do not state the word count may not be marked.
• * Work handed in late without upheld claims for extenuating circumstances will be awarded a zero.

Thank you for your co-operation!
