Word limit The word limit is 2,000 – 2,500 words.  A word count should be included at the end of the assignment.   (Words over the limit will not be marked.) Assessment criteria The following factors will be taken into account in awarding a mark: ·         depth and breadth of research, including evidence of independent research ·         depth and breadth of knowledge and intellectual understanding ·         presentation ·         citation of authorities and materials ·         ability to review critically the legal position, (where appropriate) ·         ability to analyse problem scenarios and to apply the law (where appropriate).   Students are reminded that all work submitted for assessment must be entirely that of the student submitting. It is cheating to make use of the work of any other student or to copy material from any source that is not properly attributed or referenced; it is also cheating to submit work written or prepared by anyone else as if it were the student’s own work. Please be sure you attribute all sources used and that you footnote/endnote and add to a bibliography all the sources, citations and materials that you have made reference to. Clear referencing in the text will be expected with a list of references at the end of the assignment.  It is recommended that you use the Harvard System. Marking criteria are based on the criteria set in the postgraduate credit framework as stated below.
