Attendance and participation to lectures and tutorials is compulsory and all students are expected to complete the School placement, DCSI working with Children approval letter or WWCC Working with Children Check letter and RAN Training certificate required for placements in schools, attendance to lectures and tutorials.

If you cannot attend lectures or tutorials due to sickness or other valid reason then you must follow this procedure. By week 11, you need to hand to me personally copies of doctor’s certificates for each missed session plus the 500 words of summary to the reading and lecture for each missed session. Put a cover sheet with your name, number and tutorials missed in summary form. Failure to do this will result in you being considered absent.

It is a student’s duty to acquaint himself/herself with course requirements. Misunderstanding of course requirements due to a student’s non-attendance at lectures or tutorials is not an acceptable reason for non-fulfilment of any requirements.

At the completion of the ten days placement students are to obtain a full report on SONIA. This report will contain a written reflection of the Student's school experience and a performance assessment written by the mentor teacher in the school. Failure to complete the full placement successfully will result in failure of this course.

Hurdle Requirements Information:

1- Attempted the placement - (complete the full ten days and receive a positive satisfactory report fro the mentor teacher in the school).

2- For students who attempted the placement but were not successful, they will receive a Result Pending (RP) and an opportunity to re-sit the placement. If they pass the re-sit placement they will receive the original mark and will pass the course.
 
3- If however the students did not attempt the placement, they would receive a Fail and have to re-sit the course even if they passed the course other requirements.

Special Consideration:

Students who wish to seek special consideration because of illness or special circumstances should apply to the lecturer in charge with relevant documentary evidence. This is usually a doctor’s certificate.

Extensions and deadlines:

If due to illness or other valid reasons, a student is unable to meet a deadline, he/she must contact the lecturer before the deadline in order to seek an extension (which may or may not be granted). Students are required to produce original documents to support their application for an extension.

Any assignment handed in late, without authorised extension, will be penalised at a rate of 10% of the assigned mark per 24-hour period late, to a maximum of 7 periods.

Assignments handed in more than seven periods late, without authorised extension, will not be marked and an automatic fail grade for that piece of assessment will be recorded.

Plagiarism:

Plagiarism is “the reproducing of someone else's intellectual work and representing it as one's own without proper acknowledgment”. Examples of plagiarism include: direct copying or paraphrasing of someone else’s words without acknowledging the source; using facts, information and ideas directly derived from an unacknowledged source; and producing assignments which are the work of other people.

Course requirements:

Tutorials:

Each week there are tutorials in which we will discuss the topic and the reading listed for that week. All students are required to read the relevant chapter of their textbook for this and complete the 'Review and Reflect on Your Learning " section. It is not meant to be another lecture. The success of the tutorials depends on everyone participation and group discussion.

Students must bring along to the tutorial their textbooks and prepare all answers to the above request from the weekly relevant chapter. All participatns are expected to take part and complete the question / answer part to fulfill the course requirements.

Analysis of a Teaching Situation:

It is very important to start planning from day one your topic and to start collecting materials for the writing. The weeks tend to go quickly and before we know it we are running out of time. The writing must meet normal academic and scholarly requirements and will be 1000 words (maximum) in length. Please note that this also includes quotations but not references.  All sources and materials used must be referred to in the paper itself and not simply appear in the bibliography or reference list.  

Details for assessment:

•  Double space the lines. Use at least 12 point and a clear and legible font. This makes it easier for the maximum grade to be awarded by staff that wear multifocal spectacles but are otherwise kind and caring, full of compassion, slow to anger and rich in mercy.
•  Leave a margin of at least one inch on the left hand side of the paper.
•  Use a footer or header with your name, course and page number.
•  A title page should be placed at the front of the assignment. This should contain your name, the subject, the title of the assignment, the name of the lecturer concerned, and the date. All assignments must be accompanied by an Essay Cover Sheet, which includes a Statement of Authorship
•  Students who wish to submit assignments via the postal system must ensure the envelopes are post marked no later than the due date for submission and are sent by registered mail. Students are advised that the School of Education takes no responsibility for assignments sent by post.
•  Assignments will not be accepted for marking after other work in that subject has been returned unless a special consideration request has been approved.
•  The completed assignment should be stapled or fastened in the top left hand corner. Please do not use manila or other forms of folders and please do not under any circumstances place each separate page in a separate plastic envelope.
•  Keep a hard copy of your essay and other submitted work. Sometimes accidents do happen, mail fails to arrive or computers crash.

Note: Failure to follow these prescriptions will result in a lower mark on the essay.
