Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy
The lectures will introduce theories applicable to strategic use
of information systems. These sessions will introduce you to
deeper concepts and will provide you with an opportunity to use
the information as applied to contemporary systems issues
(Learning Outcome 1). The lectures will be complemented and
enhanced by multi-media sources [DVD media clips based on
known companies, online sources e.g. YouTube, BBC News,
professional articles etc] demonstrating the applicability of the
material to businesses today (Learning Outcome 3). You will
be led to undertake reading from a range of sources to enhance
your understanding (Learning Outcomes 2, and 3). This will be
facilitated by the directed reading list but also provision of
external links and documents on the Blackboard site. The
assessment for this module consists of an assignment that
encourages application of relevant theory to a practice scenario
(Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 3). Formative feedback and
eventually summative feedback will be given.

Assessment Criteria and Marking Guidelines
This module is assessed by 100% coursework. The marking
criteria for this module will be provided with the coursework,
which details how particular marks are achieved. When
undertaking this assessment please review the marking criteria
to see how you can aim for the best marks possible
Assessment Information
Please see the assignment debrief in Blackboard, under the
Assignment Tab
Assessment Timetable
The submission date for the course work is 28th April 2017,
before 15:00.
Assessment Preparation
The teaching within this module is to prepare you for the
coursework or exam you will undertake to pass it. Staff on this
module will teach you all you need both to pass the module and
to feed into a successful working environment – not simply pass
the assessment.
All elements of the module are equally important and should be
studied and valued as such. Student engagement is a vital part
of this process and you should attend all sessions to gain the
knowledge you need to succeed in this module. You should be
prepared to be assessed on any aspect of the syllabus.
To prepare you for the assessment a formal revision session will
be provided, during which you will have opportunity to ask your
Tutor about any aspect of the module’s assessment. You may
also use this session to clarify any elements of learning that you
are unsure about. Your Tutor, however, is not able to provide
details of specific examination questions.
The Effective Learning Service (ELS) also provides guidance on
how to achieve high grades in your assessments. You can
contact ELS for a 1-1 consultation or email feedback on a draft
assignment: [email protected]’
In the event that you are required to take supplementary
assessment you will be notified of this immediately after the
Examination Board and of the preparatory arrangement made by
your Tutor. Typically these will be:
a) Examinations: a formal class revision session will be held
within 2 weeks of notification;
b) Assignments: you may request, one-to-one or group sessions
with your tutor within 2 weeks of notification.
Standard Expected
For the assignment, quality of presentation in terms of writing,
tables, figures and references will be considered for marking of
each sections and question. In the case of using software, the
proposed computer-based model must be built with correct
decision variables and input data. Finally, the solution outcome
must be discussed, analysed and interpreted at standard Level 3.

Coursework Submission
Coursework submission is electronic through Turnitin in
Blackboard. Your coursework submission must be submitted by
the specified deadline for this module (refer to 3.1 above or
consult the submission document provided by the
Undergraduate office, available on Blackboard). If you are in
any doubt, please contact the Undergraduate office for
clarification.
To submit an assignment electronically via the module
Blackboard site, open Blackboard and go to the relevant module
site, then go to ‘Assessment’ → ‘Assignment Submission’.
You should then see a link entitled: ‘View/Complete’. Click on
this link. You will then be taken to a submission page. The First
and Last name boxes are automatically filled. Check that your
details are correct. In the submission title box provide the title
for your submission. This should be the module title and your
UB number e.g. ‘Marketing 10001234’. Do not include your
name in the title.
Click the Browse menu item to upload your file. Please note
that you can only upload one file so this must contain all parts
of your assignment, including any appendices and supporting
documents. Navigate to your file and click Open.
Click Upload. Wait while your file is uploaded to the server
(please note that there is a 10MB file size limit). The next page
gives you the opportunity to review your submission. At this
point you have not submitted and can return to the submission
page to start again if you so wish. If you are happy that this is
the correct paper and want to continue to submit, scroll to the
bottom of the page and click Submit. Please note that if you are
uploading from offsite it can take a long time (45 minutes plus
at busy times) and you should allow sufficient time and ensure a
suitably robust internet connection to ensure that this upload is
effective.
You will then be emailed a receipt to your university email
address which will include your assignment identification
reference.
Your electronic submission will be used to check your
assignment for plagiarism. You will be allowed to submit your
assignment twice. On the first submission you will be able to
access the Turnitin report for your submission. This will include
details of any potential plagiarism (in the form of a similarity
index) and you are strongly encouraged to review this prior to
your final submission and ensure that your work is free of
potential plagiarism. This is more than ensuring a low
similarity index; it is about good referencing and citation
practice and you should, through induction and subsequent
access to advice and guidance, understand what plagiarism is
and how to reference sources correctly.
The Effective Learning Service at the School of Management
and the Learner Development Unit at the University provide
guidance and advice for students in this regard. If you are in
any doubt about potential plagiarism you are strongly
encouraged to access this support prior to finalizing your
submission.
Your second submission will be your final electronic
submission and you are therefore strongly encouraged to ensure
this is the final and best version of your assignment. When
resubmitting, make sure that you fill in exactly the same
submission data to ensure that your previous submission is
overwritten. If you chose not to resubmit then your first
electronic submission will count as your final submission.
It is your responsibility to ensure that submission requirements
are complied with fully and that all accurate identification
information is submitted. Academic and Administrative staff
will not try and match up missing information and if
identification data is missing a mark will obviously not be
recorded.
For further information on how to submit your assignments
using Turnitin go to the ‘How To’ section of Blackboard (Under
‘My Organizations’) and review the materials: ‘How to Submit
an Assignment Electronically’.

* Note: The dates given here are for the Monday of each
teaching week, whereas your lectures are on Tuesdays. Please
check the times on your timetables.
Please note: You MUST read the relevant suggested chapters
from the above books, as these books teach you further and
detailed analysis techniques and concepts.
Ground Rules for Learning and Teaching
There are some simple ground rules for the module that all
students should follow and attending lectures and seminars are
considered vital to your learning.
All module participants are expected to respect the learning
environment and treat each other with dignity and respect. This
includes arriving in good time for classes and sessions. Classes
will start at five minutes past the hour and you are expected to
be in the room and ready to start at that time. If you arrive after
this time you should not interrupt the class and will be asked to
leave if you do come in late.
Phones should be switched off/on silent and should not be
visible during lectures and tutorials except when being used as
‘tablets’ for following slides or making notes. Students found
to be using other applications (including web surfing, email or
instant messaging) will be asked to leave classes.
As indicated above you are expected to attend in a position to
fully engage with the session. This includes coming with copies
of (or access to) relevant teaching materials. In the case of
tutorial seminars this includes preparing appropriately by
reading cases and making notes and/or completing any exercises
or assessments in advance of the session. Tutors will expect
you to be able to show evidence of preparation at the start of
seminar sessions and any student who cannot show evidence of
preparation will be asked to leave that session.
Please be aware that it is considered disrespectful to your peers
and colleagues to turn up to classes in a position where you are
unable to fully or effectively contribute and tutors will exclude
you from sessions if you are not in their opinion adequately
prepared. In such instances this will be recorded as non-
attendance.
Communication
Communications about the module will be primarily though
Blackboard (see below) and by e-mail. Tutors will be available
in lectures/sessions for any questions. Any questions or
concerns can also be e-mailed to Dr Zahid Hussain
([email protected]). Dr Hussain’s office hours are on a Friday
10.00-12.00 (these could vary depending on teaching
commitments, thus, please email in the first instance). Dr
Hussain’s office is Room 2.10 in the Cartwright Building at the
School of Management. If you need to contact them urgently
and they are not available, please contact the OIM Group
Administrator, Bernadette Quinn (Room 1.08, Cartwright
Building) via email on [email protected].
Blackboard Module Web Site

system (http://blackboard.brad.ac.uk/) supports this module.
This contains downloadable versions of all the teaching material
used on the module, including this manual as well as
PowerPoint materials used in lectures and cases and exercises
used in seminars/plenary sessions and links to other websites.
You will be expected to download these materials on a weekly
basis. Students must check that they are registered for the
module on Blackboard. The Blackboard course website is the
central source of information that drives this course.

Support Materials for Module
Teaching and Learning Strategy
The aim of this programme of study is to promote two skills:
critical appreciation and insightful application at work of the
material covered in this module. The first skill involves,
amongst other things, the ability to evaluate the relative merits
of theories, techniques, etc (e.g. strengths and weaknesses,
usefulness when applied in specific contexts). Insightful
application reflects the appropriate use of theories, concepts,
models and research findings to particular problems in certain
contexts.
The module has been designed to provide you with
opportunities to further develop these skills through engaging
proactively in debating the issues discussed and engaging in
various exercises, either individually or as groups. Personal
reflection on the issues and application to your own work
situations will also be particularly important to grasp the
relevance and application of some topics. We will be pleased to
discuss matters with you both in formal sessions and during the
break periods when possible. If the course delivery is difficult
to follow and you find it uninteresting, tell the tutor why and
we will try to resolve the situation.Module Timetable
Each week there are two hours timetabled in for the class.
Every Tuesday there is a one-hour lecture followed by a group
seminar activity; these will incorporate case studies and videos.
These lectures and seminar tutorials provide a vital opportunity
to meet the issues challenging managers and organizations and
will allow you to exchange ideas and develop and extend
understanding gaining in lectures and from your own reading.
Attendance at seminars is considered mandatory and will be
monitored and recorded – please note the requirements for
preparatory work for seminars below.
Preparatory Work
On Blackboard you will find the cases and exercises which will
form the basis of discussions in seminar tutorials. It is your
responsibility to download these from the Blackboard website
for the module (see Section 5 above for details of how to access
Blackboard). It is a requirement of this module that you read
and familiarize yourself with these, and where appropriate
complete questionnaires and self-assessments. If you have not
done the preparatory work for a session, module tutors will
exclude you from tutorials and you will be marked on resisters
as absent.
Personal Support
Tutors will be available in lectures/sessions for any questions.
Any questions or concerns can also be e-mailed to Dr Hussain
([email protected]) as Module Leader, who will aim to respond
in no more than 48 hours during the working week. Dr
Hussain’s office hours are on a Friday 10.00-12.00. Outside
these times please e-mail to arrange an appointment. Dr
Hussain’s office is Room 2.10 in the Cartwright Building at the
Faculty of Management & Law, School of Management. Should
you need to contact him urgently and he is not available, please
contact the OIM Group Administrator, Bernadette Quinn (Room
1.08, Cartwright Building) via email on [email protected].
Feedback
Students should be aware of the opportunities for feedback
within the module. You will ultimately get feedback on the
coursework you submit, but in advance of this you should view
the regular weekly sessions on the module as opportunities to
test your understanding and get feedback on the preparatory
work you have been completing. You will also have the
opportunity to get formative feedback on some individual
coursework prior to submission as part of the module’s seminar
programme.
0. Study and Social spaces
Online + The Weir Room is open to all students as a social
space and includes kettles and microwaves to heat food, space
for socialising and access to computers.
Within the Faculty there is access to various computer suites –
more information on locations is available in your programme

Harvard Referencing Style
Students will be required to provide references to the sources
used to produce work. This shows what students have read,
supports the arguments and acknowledges the work of others.
The referencing system used in this programme is called
Harvard.
The reference consists of two parts:
1. A citation in the text. This appears next to the information
you have used. It consists of the family name of the author
followed by the year of publication. Each citation is matched a
reference.
2. The reference goes in a reference list at the end of your work.
The list is in alphabetical order. It contains the full details of all
of the sources referred to in the text.
For details on how to create your reference list, go to:
http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/help/referencing/
Academic Skills can provide advice and guidance on study
skills and maths skills, further information can be found at:
http://www.bradford.ac.uk/academic-skills/
The Library has information about plagiarism, and how to avoid
it:
http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/help/plagiarism/.
The guidelines below are provided to aid students in the
successful completion of assignments. Following the advice
below will increase your likelihood of gaining a good mark for
your assignments. STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO READ
THESE PRIOR TO COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING
ASSIGNMENTS.
Generally, providing the key facts relating to a topic and some
analytical/critical observations might be sufficient to help you
gain a pass mark (40%). In order to achieve a higher mark you
will need to demonstrate knowledge of relevant research and
ability to critically appraise theories, models or research. To
gain the highest marks (i.e. above 70%) will require you to
demonstrate knowledge of the topic and relevant research and
literature, genuine critical and analytical ability in answering
questions and evidence of sensible ideas of your own that are
justified on this basis.
Style
The coursework should be written effectively. It is expected
that your coursework will present a logical and clearly
structured discussion of the issue identified in the question. It
should not be a simple narrative or catalogue of factual material
which reads like a shopping list. Nor should it be a poetic
rambling of personal opinions, with little or no supportive
material. Presenting a personal viewpoint may be acceptable,
but only if stated objectively and supported by evidence from
and analysis of appropriate theory and literature. There are a
number of student study guides which provide advice for
essay/report writing available through the university library. I
would strongly suggest that if you are not confident in writing
in an appropriate style or feel you would benefit from further
help in this regard to look to these. Good examples include:
· Cottrell S. (2013) The Study Skills Handbook, 4th Edition.
Basingstoke: Macmillan.
· Tyler S. (2007) The Manager's Good Study Guide, 3rd Edition.
Milton Keynes: Open University.
· Northedge, A. (2005) The Good Study Guide, New Edition.
Milton Keynes: Open University.
In completing your coursework, please ensure that it ANSWERS
THE QUESTION/TASK SET specifically, and do not fall into
the trap of talking about an issue in generally terms. This is the
number one cause of students failing to get the marks that their
time and efforts deserve. All the questions set have deliberate
complexities, dealing adequately with all of these is required.
Your coursework must be word-processed. Before submission,
please ensure that you proof-read and edit your piece of work.
It is better to do so a day or two after completing your final
draft. In that way, it is like looking at it anew. Watch out for
spelling and grammatical mistakes, ensure there are no
inconsistencies and typographical errors, and make sure it is
understandable.
Standard Expected
An indication of the standard expected for this work, in terms of
degree classification equivalents is provided in the Assessment
Section of this manual. This is provided for guidance only and
should not be seen as a definitive descriptor.
Length
Having a specified word limit means you will have to exercise
your judgement and decision making skills. You will need to
determine what content is essential to include, what is
peripheral and what is unnecessary. Please ensure your essay
does not exceed the specified word length. Failure to do so
will lead to a reduction in your mark. For every 1% over a
specified word limit you will lose 1% of the mark for that
assessment. This means that if, for example, in a 2000 word
assignment task you submit an assignment of 2200 words you
would lose 10% of the mark given. So a mark of 60 would be
reduced to 54%. The word limit applies to all the content of
your assignment (including notations). It does not include
bibliographies and/or reference lists, figures, diagrams and
tables (where used appropriately), title pages, titles and tables
of content and appendices (which should be kept to a
minimum).
Plagiarism
Finally, please be aware that plagiarised or copied work will not
be acceptable. All quotations used in your coursework should be
accorded recognition in your reference section. Long passages
of script from books or articles should not be used. Short
passages should be accorded recognition of their source.
Regulation 3(i) of the University's Regulations states, in part:
"A dissertation, thesis, essay, project or any work which is not
undertaken in an examination room under supervision but which
is submitted by a student for formal assessment during his/her
course of study must be written by the candidate him/herself
and in his/her own words, except for quotations from published
and unpublished sources which shall be clearly indicated and
acknowledged as such......The incorporation of material from
other works or a paraphrase of such material without
acknowledgement will be treated as plagiarism subject to the
custom and usage of the subject.....”
Work which is found to be plagiarised or copied (identical or
near identical to that of other current or previous student
submissions) will be investigated and be subject to disciplinary
action. The penalties for plagiarised or copied work are severe,
with a minimum penalty being a mark of zero. The University,
however, may wish to impose a more severe penalty.
All new students to the University of Bradford, i.e. first year
students, direct entry students into other years, and Masters
students (including international MBA and MSc students), must
complete the online “Plagiarism Avoidance for New Students”
course (“PANS”).
Please note:
· You must complete the Plagiarism Avoidance course before
you submit your first piece of assessed work. If you are a Stage
2 or Stage 3 student and have not yet done the PANS, please
ensure that you complete this short course as soon as possible.
· You will find the Plagiarism Avoidance course as a module in
Blackboard called ‘Plagiarism information for Management and
Law’. The course is entirely online and consists of five
eTutorials followed by a short diagnostic test. The answers to
all the test questions are contained within the tutorials. The
course introduces you to concepts about plagiarism and aims to
prevent you contravening University regulations concerning
plagiarism.
· Please note that the test is intended to diagnose your
understanding of plagiarism for it is absolutely essential to
good academic writing that you understand how to avoid
plagiarism. You have only ONE attempt to do the diagnostic
test. If you do not achieve the 70% pass mark, you will be
referred to a member of academic staff (usually your personal
tutor) for further help and guidance.

students do not commit plagiarism, please see the following

Assessment Preparation The teaching within this module is to prepare you for the coursework or exam you will undertake to pass it. Staff on this module will teach you all you need both to pass the module and to feed into a successful working environment – not simply pass the assessment. All elements of the module are equally important and should be studied and valued as such. Student engagement is a vital part of this process and you should attend all sessions to gain the knowledge you need to succeed in this module. You should be prepared to be assessed on any aspect of the syllabus. To prepare you for the assessment a formal revision session will be provided, during which you will have opportunity to ask your Tutor about any aspect of the module’s assessment. You may also use this session to clarify any elements of learning that you are unsure about. Your Tutor, however, is not able to provide details of specific examination questions. The Effective Learning Service (ELS) also provides guidance on how to achieve high grades in your assessments. You can contact ELS for a 1-1 consultation or email feedback on a draft assignment: [email protected]’ In the event that you are required to take supplementary assessment you will be notified of this immediately after the Examination Board and of the preparatory arrangement made by your Tutor. Typically these will be: a) Examinations: a formal class revision session will be held within 2 weeks of notification;
  • 9. b) Assignments: you may request, one-to-one or group sessions with your tutor within 2 weeks of notification. Standard Expected For the assignment, quality of presentation in terms of writing, tables, figures and references will be considered for marking of each sections and question. In the case of using software, the proposed computer-based model must be built with correct decision variables and input data. Finally, the solution outcome must be discussed, analysed and interpreted at standard Level 3.

Coursework Submission Coursework submission is electronic through Turnitin in Blackboard. Your coursework submission must be submitted by the specified deadline for this module (refer to 3.1 above or consult the submission document provided by the Undergraduate office, available on Blackboard). If you are in any doubt, please contact the Undergraduate office for clarification. To submit an assignment electronically via the module Blackboard site, open Blackboard and go to the relevant module site, then go to ‘Assessment’ → ‘Assignment Submission’.
  • 15. You should then see a link entitled: ‘View/Complete’. Click on this link. You will then be taken to a submission page. The First and Last name boxes are automatically filled. Check that your details are correct. In the submission title box provide the title for your submission. This should be the module title and your UB number e.g. ‘Marketing 10001234’. Do not include your name in the title. Click the Browse menu item to upload your file. Please note that you can only upload one file so this must contain all parts of your assignment, including any appendices and supporting documents. Navigate to your file and click Open. Click Upload. Wait while your file is uploaded to the server (please note that there is a 10MB file size limit). The next page gives you the opportunity to review your submission. At this point you have not submitted and can return to the submission page to start again if you so wish. If you are happy that this is the correct paper and want to continue to submit, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Submit. Please note that if you are uploading from offsite it can take a long time (45 minutes plus at busy times) and you should allow sufficient time and ensure a suitably robust internet connection to ensure that this upload is effective. You will then be emailed a receipt to your university email address which will include your assignment identification reference. Your electronic submission will be used to check your assignment for plagiarism. You will be allowed to submit your assignment twice. On the first submission you will be able to access the Turnitin report for your submission. This will include details of any potential plagiarism (in the form of a similarity index) and you are strongly encouraged to review this prior to
  • 16. your final submission and ensure that your work is free of potential plagiarism. This is more than ensuring a low similarity index; it is about good referencing and citation practice and you should, through induction and subsequent access to advice and guidance, understand what plagiarism is and how to reference sources correctly. The Effective Learning Service at the School of Management and the Learner Development Unit at the University provide guidance and advice for students in this regard. If you are in any doubt about potential plagiarism you are strongly encouraged to access this support prior to finalizing your submission. Your second submission will be your final electronic submission and you are therefore strongly encouraged to ensure this is the final and best version of your assignment. When resubmitting, make sure that you fill in exactly the same submission data to ensure that your previous submission is overwritten. If you chose not to resubmit then your first electronic submission will count as your final submission. It is your responsibility to ensure that submission requirements are complied with fully and that all accurate identification information is submitted. Academic and Administrative staff will not try and match up missing information and if identification data is missing a mark will obviously not be recorded. For further information on how to submit your assignments using Turnitin go to the ‘How To’ section of Blackboard (Under ‘My Organizations’) and review the materials: ‘How to Submit an Assignment Electronically’.

  • 21. Ground Rules for Learning and Teaching There are some simple ground rules for the module that all students should follow and attending lectures and seminars are considered vital to your learning. All module participants are expected to respect the learning environment and treat each other with dignity and respect. This includes arriving in good time for classes and sessions. Classes will start at five minutes past the hour and you are expected to be in the room and ready to start at that time. If you arrive after this time you should not interrupt the class and will be asked to leave if you do come in late. Phones should be switched off/on silent and should not be visible during lectures and tutorials except when being used as ‘tablets’ for following slides or making notes. Students found to be using other applications (including web surfing, email or instant messaging) will be asked to leave classes. As indicated above you are expected to attend in a position to fully engage with the session. This includes coming with copies of (or access to) relevant teaching materials. In the case of tutorial seminars this includes preparing appropriately by reading cases and making notes and/or completing any exercises or assessments in advance of the session. Tutors will expect you to be able to show evidence of preparation at the start of seminar sessions and any student who cannot show evidence of preparation will be asked to leave that session. Please be aware that it is considered disrespectful to your peers and colleagues to turn up to classes in a position where you are unable to fully or effectively contribute and tutors will exclude you from sessions if you are not in their opinion adequately prepared. In such instances this will be recorded as non-
  • 22. attendance. Communication Communications about the module will be primarily though Blackboard (see below) and by e-mail. Tutors will be available in lectures/sessions for any questions. Any questions or concerns can also be e-mailed to Dr Zahid Hussain ([email protected]). Dr Hussain’s office hours are on a Friday 10.00-12.00 (these could vary depending on teaching commitments, thus, please email in the first instance). Dr Hussain’s office is Room 2.10 in the Cartwright Building at the School of Management. If you need to contact them urgently and they are not available, please contact the OIM Group Administrator, Bernadette Quinn (Room 1.08, Cartwright Building) via email on [email protected]. Blackboard Module Web Site A dedicated website accessible through the School's Blackboard system (http://blackboard.brad.ac.uk/) supports this module. This contains downloadable versions of all the teaching material used on the module, including this manual as well as PowerPoint materials used in lectures and cases and exercises used in seminars/plenary sessions and links to other websites. You will be expected to download these materials on a weekly basis. Students must check that they are registered for the module on Blackboard. The Blackboard course website is the central source of information that drives this course. Blackboard contains weekly updates and includes new material throughout the course. To Access Course Materials: 1 Go to: http://blackboard.brad.ac.uk Click "Login" Enter your University of Bradford username and password. Click "Login"

Specific Support Materials for Module Teaching and Learning Strategy The aim of this programme of study is to promote two skills: critical appreciation and insightful application at work of the material covered in this module. The first skill involves, amongst other things, the ability to evaluate the relative merits of theories, techniques, etc (e.g. strengths and weaknesses, usefulness when applied in specific contexts). Insightful application reflects the appropriate use of theories, concepts, models and research findings to particular problems in certain contexts. The module has been designed to provide you with opportunities to further develop these skills through engaging proactively in debating the issues discussed and engaging in various exercises, either individually or as groups. Personal reflection on the issues and application to your own work situations will also be particularly important to grasp the relevance and application of some topics. We will be pleased to discuss matters with you both in formal sessions and during the break periods when possible. If the course delivery is difficult
  • 24. to follow and you find it uninteresting, tell the tutor why and we will try to resolve the situation.Module Timetable Each week there are two hours timetabled in for the class. Every Tuesday there is a one-hour lecture followed by a group seminar activity; these will incorporate case studies and videos. These lectures and seminar tutorials provide a vital opportunity to meet the issues challenging managers and organizations and will allow you to exchange ideas and develop and extend understanding gaining in lectures and from your own reading. Attendance at seminars is considered mandatory and will be monitored and recorded – please note the requirements for preparatory work for seminars below. Preparatory Work On Blackboard you will find the cases and exercises which will form the basis of discussions in seminar tutorials. It is your responsibility to download these from the Blackboard website for the module (see Section 5 above for details of how to access Blackboard). It is a requirement of this module that you read and familiarize yourself with these, and where appropriate complete questionnaires and self-assessments. If you have not done the preparatory work for a session, module tutors will exclude you from tutorials and you will be marked on resisters as absent. Personal Support Tutors will be available in lectures/sessions for any questions. Any questions or concerns can also be e-mailed to Dr Hussain ([email protected]) as Module Leader, who will aim to respond in no more than 48 hours during the working week. Dr Hussain’s office hours are on a Friday 10.00-12.00. Outside these times please e-mail to arrange an appointment. Dr Hussain’s office is Room 2.10 in the Cartwright Building at the

Should you need to contact him urgently and he is not available, please contact the OIM Group Administrator, Bernadette Quinn (Room 1.08, Cartwright Building) via email on [email protected]. Feedback Students should be aware of the opportunities for feedback within the module. You will ultimately get feedback on the coursework you submit, but in advance of this you should view the regular weekly sessions on the module as opportunities to test your understanding and get feedback on the preparatory work you have been completing. You will also have the opportunity to get formative feedback on some individual coursework prior to submission as part of the module’s seminar programme. 0. Study and Social spaces Online + The Weir Room is open to all students as a social space and includes kettles and microwaves to heat food, space for socialising and access to computers. Within the Faculty there is access to various computer suites – more information on locations is available in your programme handbook. Developing Good Academic Practice Harvard Referencing Style Students will be required to provide references to the sources used to produce work. This shows what students have read, supports the arguments and acknowledges the work of others. The referencing system used in this programme is called Harvard. The reference consists of two parts: 1. A citation in the text. This appears next to the information you have used. It consists of the family name of the author followed by the year of publication. Each citation is matched a reference.
  • 26. 2. The reference goes in a reference list at the end of your work. The list is in alphabetical order. It contains the full details of all of the sources referred to in the text. For details on how to create your reference list, go to: http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/help/referencing/ Academic Skills can provide advice and guidance on study skills and maths skills, further information can be found at: http://www.bradford.ac.uk/academic-skills/ The Library has information about plagiarism, and how to avoid it: http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/help/plagiarism/. The guidelines below are provided to aid students in the successful completion of assignments. Following the advice below will increase your likelihood of gaining a good mark for your assignments. STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO READ THESE PRIOR TO COMPLETING AND SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS. Generally, providing the key facts relating to a topic and some analytical/critical observations might be sufficient to help you gain a pass mark (40%). In order to achieve a higher mark you will need to demonstrate knowledge of relevant research and ability to critically appraise theories, models or research. To gain the highest marks (i.e. above 70%) will require you to demonstrate knowledge of the topic and relevant research and literature, genuine critical and analytical ability in answering questions and evidence of sensible ideas of your own that are justified on this basis. Style The coursework should be written effectively. It is expected that your coursework will present a logical and clearly structured discussion of the issue identified in the question. It
  • 27. should not be a simple narrative or catalogue of factual material which reads like a shopping list. Nor should it be a poetic rambling of personal opinions, with little or no supportive material. Presenting a personal viewpoint may be acceptable, but only if stated objectively and supported by evidence from and analysis of appropriate theory and literature. There are a number of student study guides which provide advice for essay/report writing available through the university library. I would strongly suggest that if you are not confident in writing in an appropriate style or feel you would benefit from further help in this regard to look to these. Good examples include: · Cottrell S. (2013) The Study Skills Handbook, 4th Edition. Basingstoke: Macmillan. · Tyler S. (2007) The Manager's Good Study Guide, 3rd Edition. Milton Keynes: Open University. · Northedge, A. (2005) The Good Study Guide, New Edition. Milton Keynes: Open University. In completing your coursework, please ensure that it ANSWERS THE QUESTION/TASK SET specifically, and do not fall into the trap of talking about an issue in generally terms. This is the number one cause of students failing to get the marks that their time and efforts deserve. All the questions set have deliberate complexities, dealing adequately with all of these is required. Your coursework must be word-processed. Before submission, please ensure that you proof-read and edit your piece of work. It is better to do so a day or two after completing your final draft. In that way, it is like looking at it anew. Watch out for spelling and grammatical mistakes, ensure there are no inconsistencies and typographical errors, and make sure it is understandable. Standard Expected An indication of the standard expected for this work, in terms of degree classification equivalents is provided in the Assessment
  • 28. Section of this manual. This is provided for guidance only and should not be seen as a definitive descriptor. Length Having a specified word limit means you will have to exercise your judgement and decision making skills. You will need to determine what content is essential to include, what is peripheral and what is unnecessary. Please ensure your essay does not exceed the specified word length. Failure to do so will lead to a reduction in your mark. For every 1% over a specified word limit you will lose 1% of the mark for that assessment. This means that if, for example, in a 2000 word assignment task you submit an assignment of 2200 words you would lose 10% of the mark given. So a mark of 60 would be reduced to 54%. The word limit applies to all the content of your assignment (including notations). It does not include bibliographies and/or reference lists, figures, diagrams and tables (where used appropriately), title pages, titles and tables of content and appendices (which should be kept to a minimum). Plagiarism Finally, please be aware that plagiarised or copied work will not be acceptable. All quotations used in your coursework should be accorded recognition in your reference section. Long passages of script from books or articles should not be used. Short passages should be accorded recognition of their source. Regulation 3(i) of the University's Regulations states, in part: "A dissertation, thesis, essay, project or any work which is not undertaken in an examination room under supervision but which is submitted by a student for formal assessment during his/her course of study must be written by the candidate him/herself and in his/her own words, except for quotations from published and unpublished sources which shall be clearly indicated and acknowledged as such......The incorporation of material from
  • 29. other works or a paraphrase of such material without acknowledgement will be treated as plagiarism subject to the custom and usage of the subject.....” Work which is found to be plagiarised or copied (identical or near identical to that of other current or previous student submissions) will be investigated and be subject to disciplinary action. The penalties for plagiarised or copied work are severe, with a minimum penalty being a mark of zero. The University, however, may wish to impose a more severe penalty. All new students to the University of Bradford, i.e. first year students, direct entry students into other years, and Masters students (including international MBA and MSc students), must complete the online “Plagiarism Avoidance for New Students” course (“PANS”). Please note: · You must complete the Plagiarism Avoidance course before you submit your first piece of assessed work. If you are a Stage 2 or Stage 3 student and have not yet done the PANS, please ensure that you complete this short course as soon as possible. · You will find the Plagiarism Avoidance course as a module in Blackboard called ‘Plagiarism information for Management and Law’. The course is entirely online and consists of five eTutorials followed by a short diagnostic test. The answers to all the test questions are contained within the tutorials. The course introduces you to concepts about plagiarism and aims to prevent you contravening University regulations concerning plagiarism. · Please note that the test is intended to diagnose your understanding of plagiarism for it is absolutely essential to good academic writing that you understand how to avoid
  • 30. plagiarism. You have only ONE attempt to do the diagnostic test. If you do not achieve the 70% pass mark, you will be referred to a member of academic staff (usually your personal tutor) for further help and guidance.
