How to meet standards: four golden rules

Read the topic carefully so that you are clear about what you are being asked to do.
Note and follow the criteria and requirements detailed in the unit description.
Note and follow any extra or special instructions from your lecturer or tutor.
Talk to your tutor or lecturer before beginning work if any directions are unclear to you.

Check that all sources used have been acknowledged through appropriate citation.
Check your writing for any errors in grammar, punctuation or spelling.
Check that any calculations, conversions, formulae or equations are correct.
Build in sufficient time for proofreading and revision when planning timelines.

Make sure that all the required contents are included and arranged in the correct order.
Record all necessary details on the appropriate cover sheet/title page.
Secure pages with a staple (or similar fastening). Do not use paper clips.
Work does not need to be enclosed in folders unless requested by the lecturer or tutor.
Make a copy of the final version to keep as a record.

Submit work to meet the timelines specified in the unit description or by your tutor or lecturer. (Extensions to due dates may be granted in certain cases.)
Deposit work in the place specified in the unit description. This will usually be an assignment box (or similar) located in the School responsible for teaching that unit.
Do not hand assessable work directly to a tutor or lecturer during class or deliver it to their office, unless you have been advised that this is acceptable.
