A welcome to the School of Social Sciences

Welcome to the School of Social Sciences at Bangor University. The School forms part of the larger College of Business, Law, Education and Social Sciences.

This handbook aims to provide you with essential information about the programme and student support. The whole staff team – lecturers and administrative staff – are committed to making your course as enjoyable, intellectually challenging, personally rewarding and trouble-free as possible. We hope that you will benefit fully from all the advantages that the University, the city and the surrounding area have to offer. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know and we will do everything we can to help.

As a student on one of our programmes you are joining a larger multi-disciplinary community of students in the fields of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Social Policy, Sociology, Health & Social Care and Social Work. The School provides teaching through the medium of both English and Welsh and courses from first degree to PhD level. The organizational structure is designed to increase the opportunities for students to benefit from the wide range of expertise that the School brings together while encouraging a sense of identity at the subject level.

I look forward to the contribution you will be making to the School. I hope that in future you can look back on your time in Bangor not just as the foundation for a successful career but as a richly rewarding time of personal development.

I am delighted to welcome you to the postgraduate environment in the School. I hope your time with us will be challenging, enjoyable and rewarding.

1. SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES

The School of Social Sciences is a multi-disciplinary department, embracing Criminology and Criminal Justice, Social Policy, Social Work, Sociology and Health and Social Care. Research in the School of Social Sciences has four main themes: Communities and Social Networks; Minority Languages and Cultures; Policy Evaluation Research; Crime and Civic Society. Two major research centers are based in the school: WISERD - the Wales Institute of Social & Economic Research, Data & Methods and The Centre for Mental Health and Society (CFMHAS).

Our Masters degrees offer thorough training in the principles and practice of social research, whilst allowing students to follow their interests through a range of specialised modules. Modules are taught by staff who are active researchers and through our links with local, national and international agencies, our degree programmes are current, topical and informed by staff research.

The applied nature of our programmes prepares students for careers in social sciences and the social professions, helping to promote the career development of professionals as well as preparing new graduates for future careers.

The Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERDhttp://www.wiserd.ac.uk/) has an ambitious programme of work to help researchers make better use of data, develop large interdisciplinary projects, conduct research on a series of localities, and build partnerships with organisations and local communities. The centre brings together social scientists from across Wales who work together to develop a more detailed picture of the people of Wales through the collection, analysis and dissemination of data in areas from economic activity and growth to education, community participation, health and social care.

The Centre for Mental Health and Society (CFMHAS) is a methods based research centre focused on research that has direct translational application to the well-being of people with mental health problems, their families and carers, and to the mental health of the general population. CFMHAS is a partnership between the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Bangor University. It has office bases in Wrexham and Bangor. The Centre’s research is multi-disciplinary, bringing together practitioners and researchers with a background in social, psychological and bio-medical sciences with a particular emphasis on mixed-methods research designed to address complex problems.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY

All staff and students of the University are expected to comply with all health and safety arrangements that are in force within the University.

It is the legal duty of all staff and students whilst within the University to:

1. take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and other persons who may be affected by the way in which they carry out their work; 2. co-operate with all staff and students to enable them to carry out their own

health and safety duties;

3. report to supervisory staff any situation, working practice or procedure which they may suspect is potentially hazardous;

4. report incidents to supervisory staff;

5. use, but not misuse, protective clothing, equipment or materials provided; 6. comply with the health and safety instructions, both written and spoken, which

are issued to them;

7. use machinery, plant or equipment only with the appropriate guards or safety devices in position.

Any persons contravening these requirements may be subject to University disciplinary proceedings or possible legal action.

Accident and Incident Reporting

All accidents involving injury to staff, students or visitors to the University must be reported to the Department of Health and Safety Services as soon as possible using the report forms provided for this purpose which are available in all Schools and Halls of Residence.

If accidents involve serious injury (e.g. major fracture, head injuries, etc.) or if the casualty is taken to hospital, the Department of Health and Safety Services ext. 3847 must be informed immediately by telephone – outside of normal hours call University Security on 2795.

This is necessary because the University has a legal requirement to notify the Health and Safety Executive of such occurrences as soon as they occur. The usual accident report form must also be completed in these cases.

In addition to reporting accidents involving injury, impersonal ‘incidents’ must be reported using the same form. In this context an incident is regarded as an accident in which, fortuitously, no-one was injured. The object of reporting incidents is to help identify potentially dangerous situations. Examples of incidents which should be reported are:

(14)

14

 “near misses” by falling objects;

 explosions in unattended experiments;

 fires;

 gas leaks.

Certain serious incidents, for example, the collapse of scaffolding, are immediately notifiable to the Health and Safety Executive just as certain serious accidents are notifiable (and see above).

The Health and Safety Officer for the College of Business, Social Sciences and Law is

Mr Huw Ellis

College Administration Manager email: [email protected]

Disability Statement

Our declared aim in the School of Social Sciences is to take all possible, practicable steps to enable all our students to participate in all aspects of School life.

Equal Opportunities Statement

Please note the following:

“The University will comply with all relevant legislation and good practice and will not tolerate any individual receiving less favorable treatment on grounds of religious or political beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, family circumstance, race or ethnic origin, nationality, age, social or economic class, or disability, and will not be disadvantaged by any other condition or requirement which is not relevant to good practice and cannot be shown to be justifiable”.

8. MODULE SELECTION, TIMETABLE, LECTURES

AND TUTORIALS

8.1 Information about modules

If you are required to choose optional modules, you will make your initial selection of modules for Semesters 1 and 2 online prior to welcome week.

You have three weeks at the start of each semester to make any changes to your optional modules. After three weeks no student may change modules. You must complete a change of module form (available from the College Reception) if you wish to change your initial choice of optional modules within the first three weeks.

Module Organisers will give detailed information in the first lecture of each module. They will provide a detailed course syllabus, details of tutorials, and a list of reading material, assessments and examinations.

Please check your university email account regularly, as important information about modules and timetabling will be sent to you in this way.

8.2 School Research Seminars

Although this is not an assessed part of the degree or the diploma, students are expected to participate fully in the postgraduate and research culture of the School. This includes the School Research Seminars, which run at regular intervals over two semesters and includes presentations from staff and research students within the School of Social Sciences, other research centres within the University and visiting speakers. The colloquium provides an opportunity for all postgraduates (Masters and doctoral candidates) to discuss and present their work in an informal and supportive context with their postgraduate colleagues and invited academic staff.

8.3 Timetable

When you have completed module registration and the data has been entered into the University’s student records database, your personal timetable will be accessible via Bangor Portal (see page 56). You can also check the timetable for any modules by entering the University’s online timetable at the following webpage:

(18)

8.4 Attendance

ATTENDANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

The policy enables the University to fulfil its duty of care to its students; ensuring that each student makes the most of the learning opportunities available to them. Your attendance record is available for viewing in the Attendance Record section of Bangor 360.

ATTENDANCE MONITORING Timetabled students

Students are expected to attend ALL timetabled teaching sessions and shall be monitored according to the Bangor University Attendance Monitoring Policy. Non-timetabled students

Non-timetabled (e.g. postgraduate research) students are monitored for engagement and attendance by personal tutors, supervisors and other staff as designated by the School. Postgraduate research students should meet with their supervisor at least every 2 weeks.

Student Engagement

Student engagement will be is monitored in the following ways:

• Attendance in Small Group Teaching (i.e. tutorials and seminars).

• Attendance in lectures. Student ID cards will be scanned either at the start or at the end of a lecture. Students are always expected to arrive in the lecture room before the lecture starts. If you are unable to produce your ID card or arrive late to a lecture after the scanning has been undertaken, your attendance will not be recorded.

• Submission of assignments within given deadlines

• Attendance in examinations. Student ID cards will be scanned before the start of every examination.

• Attendance at specified Personal Tutor / Supervisor meetings. Any unauthorised non-attendance will be recorded via a points based system. Where your attendance record gives cause for concern, your School will email /contact you giving you an opportunity to improve your attendance; the School will also seek to identify any additional support that you may require.

On being advised of non-attendance you may access the attendance record section of Bangor 360 by clicking the Attendance Record icon ( ) on the left of the screen.

Authorisation of Non-attendance

You may apply for authorisation of non-attendance in respect of a:

· Specific Event: by accessing the Attendance Record Section in 360 by clicking the Request Authorisation button giving reason for your absence; authorisation approval is at the discretion of the School.

· Given period (i.e. a few days or more, whether pre-notified or post-notified): by accessing the Attendance Record Section in 360 and submitting a Notice of Absence form.

Submission of a Request Authorisation or a Notice of Absence request does not automatically institute non-attendance becoming authorised; authorisation approval

(19)

19

of a Request Authorisation or Notice of Absence form is at the discretion of the School.

During any period of absence it remains your responsibility to keep up with

coursework and meet deadlines for assignments and tests. The University does not encourage leave of absence in respect of travelling outside or within the UK within Term Time and will consider each Notice of Absence request on its merits and whether it is due to Special Circumstances.

Non-attendance may be authorised by the School in the following circumstances:

• Post-notified non-attendance, which is unavoidable and out of your control (e.g. serious, unavoidable and unexpected transport problems where public transport is unavailable)

• Post-notified non-attendance, which is due to illness or other health problems. If the illness is for a few days, you must retrospectively apply for authorisation of post-notified absence by completion of a Notice of

Absence request. If the illness is 7 calendar days or more or if you seek to be awarded any dispensation by the Examination Board (e.g. missed assessments) you must also present a medical certificate from a doctor to the Attendance Monitoring Coordinator (Susanne Robinshaw); such requests will remain ‘pending’ until all required documentary evidence has been submitted.

• Post-notified non-attendance due to personal or family emergency (e.g. serious family illness).

• Pre-notified planned non-attendance of a few days or more (e.g. family emergency, taking part in a faith/belief based event, travelling outside the UK for a permitted reason and unavoidable external commitments) by completion of a Notice of Absence form.

ABSENCES FROM STUDY

Non-authorised Absence for Specific Events

Non-authorised absences are recorded in the Attendance Record section of Bangor 360. Non-attendance may be retrospectively authorised for a specific event in the circumstances as specified above. You may access the attendance record section of Bangor 360 by clicking the Attendance Record icon ( ) on the left of the screen and then click the Request Authorisation button giving your reason for the

non-attendance; any request for authorised absence will be subject to authorisation by the School. A student who is absent from the University or not able to attend an event, whether anticipated or unexpected may also inform his or her personal

tutor/supervisor.

Special Circumstances

Special circumstances relates to absences of a few days or more due to medical, personal or family emergency reasons. You may apply for authorisation of

pre-notified or post-pre-notified non-attendance by completion of a Notice of Absence form on Bangor 360. You must present a medical certificate to the Attendance Monitoring Coordinator (Susanne Robinshaw) if the illness is 7 calendar days or more.

(20)

20

Academic reasons for absence

Absences from study for academic purposes (e.g. fieldwork, conferences, placements, study abroad) must be approved by personal tutor/supervisor beforehand before submitting a Notice of Absence form on Bangor 360.

Travelling outside the UK

Overseas students (i.e. non-European Union) seeking to travel outside of the UK must complete the Notice of Absence form beforehand and thus inform the University of the overseas destination, overseas contact details, date of departure and the date of re-entry into the UK. Students need to bring in their passport for inspection by the Attendance Monitoring Coordinator (Susanne Robinshaw) on their return to the UK.

Studying away from Bangor

Prior sanction must be obtained for studying away from Bangor by completing the Notice of Absence request. The University requires the overseas work address, together with the date of departure and the date of re-entry into the UK. Contact between the University and student should occur at least once per calendar month.

8.5 Cancellation of lectures or tutorials

Every effort will be made to notify you via email if a lecture or tutorial is cancelled. It is very important, therefore, that you check your emails before attending a lecture or tutorial.

9. ASSESSMENT

9.1 Procedure for submission of assignments

All assignments must be submitted in two formats: electronically and on paper.

1. The electronic copy must be submitted through the Turnitin software on Blackboard. Please click on the ‘assignments’ link on the Blackboard site for the module, and follow the instructions. The time and date on which you submit the assignment electronically will be recorded automatically, and this process will provide us with confirmation that you met the assignment

deadline. If you do not submit an electronic copy of your assignment before the assignment deadline, you will be deemed to have missed the deadline, even if you have submitted a paper copy of the assignment before the deadline.

Please note that Turnitin contains plagiarism detection software, which is available to the Module Organiser. We reserve the right to use this software on all submitted assignments.

The paper copy must be deposited in the ‘Assignment Collection Box’ located at the College Reception. The content of the paper copy must correspond exactly to the content of the electronic copy that is submitted through

Blackboard. The paper copy should also be submitted before the assignment deadline.

(21)

21

2. The paper copy of your assignment must be submitted with an Assignment Cover Sheet. Log on to https://inside.bangor.ac.uk/360/ and click on the Modules & Assessments link in the Learning Resource Centre Panel. Find the appropriate module and assignment, and click on the yellow icon.

A dialog box will be presented with a checklist for you to complete before the assignment cover sheet can be downloaded:

a. I confirm the submission is final.

Once you have submitted a piece of assessed work, you cannot submit the work again or ask for it back before the deadline to make changes/additions. The first copy that you submit will be the copy that is marked. It is therefore essential that you make sure your work is complete before submitting it.

b. I have reported the word count as a number and it is accurate.

For many pieces of coursework, the module organiser will specify the word count. It is essential that you keep to this word count because failure to do so will result in a reduced final mark

c. Get coversheet and print.

d. SIGN THE DECLARATION

Finally, YOU MUST sign and date it to indicate that this is your work, and fold over and staple down the right hand corner, covering your name ‐ staff mark your work anonymously. If you submit the work (both electronic and paper based) on or before the submission deadline date, it will be marked normally, using the full range of grades as described in the categorical marking scheme.

Please avoid submitting work in ways that make it difficult for lecturers to mark it. Common problems include over-zealous stapling of pages, using plastic wallets, binders, or files that are difficult to open, and binding pages in such a way that writing in the margins cannot be read.

The paper copy can, under exceptional circumstances, be accepted by post, but it is your responsibility to check that the assignment has been received.

Assessments must be submitted by the specified date. Policy states that if work which is part of the formal assessment is not handed in on time a penalty will be imposed. However, extensions can be granted in Special Circumstances.

Your assessment deadlines may be obtained by accessing Modules and assessment in Bangor360.

(22)

22

9.2 Policy on late submission and deadline extensions

You are responsible for organising your work timetable and keeping copies of all assignments. In particular, you must keep back-up copies of any work on computer. You must also keep any work handed back to you after assessment. Inability to obtain material or loss of computer files cannot be considered mitigating circumstances. Deadlines for all assessed work are available on the individual module Blackboard sites, as well as the 'Student Study Support' site.

The following will help ensure that you do not incur penalties for late submissions:

 Give yourself sufficient time to address any problems that might occur before the deadlines.

 Do not submit all your assignments on the last day. It is better for you and for office staff if you stagger your submissions.

 Make sure that you have backed up all work files.

 Remember that deadlines are the final dates for submission.

Late submissions

You will be informed of the submission date for your assignments at the beginning of each module. Where deadlines are not met and you fail to provide documentary evidence as grounds for late submission you must expect to receive the standard University penalty as follows:

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Work submitted within one week of the stated deadline will be marked but the mark will be capped at 40%. A mark of 0% will be awarded for any work submitted 1 week after the deadline.

The same piece of work may be used for re-submission in August but the mark awarded will be capped at 40% unless extenuating circumstances exist.

You must adopt the following procedure if you are likely to miss a deadline: 1. Consult your personal tutor, module convenor or year co-ordinator.

2. Collect a ‘Late Submission Form’ from the College Reception which must be signed by your personal tutor, module convenor or year co-ordinator PRIOR to the submission date.

1. Complete the appropriate form and submit it, together with documentary evidence, on or before the submission date.

Remember: Requests for late submission must be approved by module convenors, personal tutors or the Director of Postgraduate Studies.

The Examinations Board (or its Special Circumstances subgroup) will waive penalties according to the evidence available. Admissible reasons are, for example: illness

(23)

23

supported by a doctor’s certificate; death of a relative or close friend; or serious family problems. Unacceptable reasons include: having computer related problems; not being able to find books; being on holiday or having too much other work to do. Please note that if the personal tutor/module convenor/year co-ordinator agrees to a new submission date (based on the available evidence) then this date must be WITHIN 3 weeks of the original submission date. If, subsequently, you fail to present your work by the new submission date you are expected to contact your personal tutor/module convenor/year co-ordinator immediately to explain your circumstances, and to provide further supporting evidence e.g medical certificate or letter. Your circumstances and the evidence submitted will then be considered by the special circumstances committee.

Students who submit their work late must expect a delay in receiving marks and feedback.

All relevant forms can be found on blackboard and the Academic Registry page:

http://www.bangor.ac.uk/ar/main/publications/forms.php.en

You will also receive an email during October with the forms and procedures.

Preparing and submitting your assessment - School of Social

Sciences

All hard copies of work that you submit must:

 Be submitted to the College Reception for processing, NOT to a member of teaching staff. The date when it is handed in will be recorded.

 Have a firmly attached Front of Assignment Cover Sheet (see instructions above). It is important that you take care when completing this form. It contains your declaration that you have read and understood the rules and regulations concerning the submission of assignments. Work submitted without a completed cover sheet will not be accepted for marking.

 Have the word length clearly marked at the end of the assignment and have your student number and the module title on every page.

 Have pages numbered.

 Be fixed together firmly with a staple, pin or Treasury tab, not a paper clip.

 Not be inside a plastic cover (it creates extra work).

Assignments sometimes go astray. It is your responsibility to keep copies of all assessed work. We cannot accept any responsibility for assignments that do not reach the College Reception. If your work is lost, for whatever reason, we would have to ask you to resubmit as we cannot count work that has not been assessed by us and the external examiner as completed.

The School allows assignments to be 10% higher or lower than the specified word count. Thus, for an essay of 3,000 words you may submit work between 2,700 and 3,300 words in length. For work which exceeds this 10% rule the mark awarded will reflect deficiencies in the work as submitted. For example if the work is too long it

(24)

24

may contain unnecessary or repeated information, or irrelevant description or analysis.

You are entitled to feedback on the work you submit but your final mark is subject to confirmation by the Board of Examiners. Results will be available to you on 360,

https://inside.bangor.ac.uk/360, at the end of the assessment and marking period. Written feedback on module assignments, including provisional marks, will normally be given to students within four weeks from the date your work was submitted. Please note that it is your responsibility to collect the feedback soon after you receive notification that it is ready for collection. Further feedback and advice may be obtained from the module convenor or your tutor. Other arrangements may apply to work handed in after the deadline.

When you receive feedback on an essay cover sheet or another form you should read the comments carefully, taking note (for future assignments) of what seem to be your strengths and weaknesses. The criteria used when marking essays and

examinations are shown in the marking schemes section of the handbook.

9.3 Referencing

The School of Social Sciences has produced a booklet, the Guide to Referencing and Citation. It is designed to give you all the information you need to reference correctly. Your work will be judged according to how well it measures up to the standards set out in the Guide.

The following are examples of how to set out bibliographies. As a general rule references are listed alphabetically by author to include: author’s name; author’s initials or first name; year of publication; title of book or article; place of publication; publisher.

 Anonymous or unknown author (usually newspapers)

The Times (2006). IT Failure Threat to Public Health. 7 July 2006, p. 9.

 Single authored book:

Giddens, Anthony (1985), The Nation State and Violence. Cambridge: Polity Press

 Book with more than one author:

Tyler, Tom R., Boeckmann, Robert J., Smith, Heather J., and Huo, Yuen J. (1997), Social Justice in a Diverse Society. Boulder/Colorado: Westview Press.

 Chapter in an edited collection:

Adams, John Stacey (1965), Inequity in Social Exchange. In: Leonard Berkowitz (ed.), Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, Vol. 2. New York: Academic, pp. 267-299.

(25)

25

 Journal Article:

Ruggiero, Vincenzo (1996), France: Corruption as Resentment. Journal of Law and Society 23:113-131.

 Official Papers/Report:

Home Office (1985), Criminal Statistics in England and Wales. London: HMSO.

 Internet Sources:

You should list Internet sources using the Harvard system as far as possible and always include the document’s URL (Internet address). A typical

reference would look like this:

Holland, Matt (2004), Citing References. Bournemouth University. http://www. bournemouth.ac.uk/library/citing_references/ citing_internet_sources.html (Accessed 21 May 2007).

For further advice and examples, see the Guide to Referencing and Citation.

Citations in essays and dissertations

These can be either direct quotes from, or more general references to, texts. A direct quote requires the author’s surname, date of publication and the page

number(s) of the text. For example:

Freedom of movement for many Eastern Europeans could become illusory as now that ‘the iron curtain is down, up comes the visa curtain’ (Christie 2000:77). The complete reference for Christie would go in the bibliography.

A reference to the work requires only the author’s surname and date of publication.

For example:

Gramsci’s (1951) conception of the Fordist model of work …. The complete reference for Gramsci would go in the bibliography.

If an author is mentioned in the essay the author’s name is not repeated. For

example:

Taylor (1991, 121) describes access to public spaces as ‘part of the contract with the consumer’ where rights are replaced by economic relationships. The complete reference for Taylor would go in the bibliography.

9.7 Appeals

The University has formal procedures for appealing against decisions taken by examination boards. Your attention is drawn to the University’s handbook on Verification and Appeals procedures, a copy of which may be obtained from the Academic Registry, or via the intranet. If you have concerns about the marks awarded for individual modules, in the first instance you should discuss the matter with the Module Organiser. If you remain concerned, you may discuss the matter with the Director of Postgraduate Studies. Please note, however, that there is no formal right of appeal against marks awarded. The Module Organiser’s decision on this matter is final and binding.

10. MARKING CRITERIA, DEGREE CLASSIFICATION

Marks for assignments and examinations will be returned to you in the form of an alphabetic grade. When an alphabetic grade is reported, the grade will be converted to a percentage when we calculate your overall mark for the module and your degree classification. The scale for converting alphabetic grades to percentages is as

follows: Alphabetic grade Degree equivalent Numerical grade Description

A* Distinction 95% Outstanding Distinction A+ Distinction 87% Excellent Distinction A Distinction 80% Good Distinction A– Distinction 74% Distinction B+ Merit 68% Good Merit

B Merit 65% Mid Merit

B– Merit 62% Merit

C+ Pass 58% Pass (top tier) C Pass 55% Pass (2nd tier) C– Pass 52% Pass (3rd tier) D+ Pass 48% Pass (4th tier) D Pass 45% Pass (5th tier) D– Pass 42% Pass (bottom tier)

E Fail 37% Borderline Fail (compensatable) F Fail 33% Fail (compensatable)

F(1) Fail 20% Fail (non-compensatable) F(2) Fail 5% Poor Fail (non-compensatable) F(3) Fail 0% Very Poor Fail (non-compensatable)

(28)

28

A*

(First Class)

A truly exceptional answer, which demonstrates complete mastery of the subject matter and also makes a substantial original contribution of a high standard which advances the understanding of the subject. The answer contains all relevant points and arguments, complete with fully supported independent and mature evaluation of the topic, with no errors or irrelevant content. Where relevant, the answer will also evidence an excellent comparative evaluation of the issues concerned. All the material and references (where applicable) are perfectly presented in the answer, and the answer is perfectly constructed and grammatically perfect in English/Welsh. In the case of a dissertation or assignment, the answer would be suitable for publication in a refereed journal.

A+

(First Class)

An exceptional answer, demonstrating complete mastery of the subject matter with no room for improvement whatsoever. The answer contains all relevant points and arguments, complete with fully supported independent and mature evaluation of the topic, with no errors or irrelevant content. Where relevant, the answer will also evidence an excellent comparative evaluation of the issues concerned. All the material and references (where applicable) are perfectly presented in the answer, and the answer is perfectly constructed and grammatically perfect in English/Welsh.

A

(First Class)

An outstanding answer, demonstrating mastery of the subject matter with extremely little room for improvement. The answer contains all relevant points and arguments, complete with fully supported independent and mature evaluation of the topic, with practically no errors or irrelevant content. Where relevant, the answer will also evidence an in-depth comparative evaluation of the issues concerned. All the material and references (where applicable) are presented in near perfect form in the answer, and the answer is extremely well constructed and grammatically excellent in English/Welsh.

A-

(First Class)

An outstanding answer, demonstrating mastery of the subject matter with very little room for improvement. The answer contains all relevant points and arguments, complete with fully supported independent and mature evaluation of the topic, with no or very little errors or irrelevant content. Where relevant, the answer will also evidence some comparative evaluation of the issues concerned. All the material and references (where applicable) are extremely well presented in the answer, and the answer is very well constructed and grammatically excellent in English/Welsh.

B

(Upper Second)

A comprehensive answer, containing all or most of the material relevant to the question with no or very little irrelevancy, all the material and references being predominantly accurate and correct, with no or very little inaccuracy or error, the whole presented in an argument which, while clear, logical and critical, leaves room for improvement in its construction and presentation. An answer which shows complete competence in the subject.

C

(Lower Second)

An answer which, while always in the main accurate and correct, fails to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant material and is lacking in criticism. An answer which while reliable with regard to correctness is either not comprehensive or not entirely pertinent.

D

(Third Class)

An answer which, while predominantly correct in its presentation of material, contains a significant level of error and is therefore not entirely reliable.

E – F (Pass Degree-Fail)

An answer in which the level of error is such that the answer becomes substantially unreliable as a presentation of the subject, there remaining, however, a significant amount of correct material.

F1 – F3 (Poor Fail)

A completely unreliable answer in which the amount of correct material, if any, is insignificant compared to the predominance of error.

11. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT AND UNFAIR PRACTICE

It is your responsibility to acquaint yourself with the University guidelines on unfair practice and to act in accordance with them:

https://www.bangor.ac.uk/ar/main/regulations/home.htm Academic dishonesty is defined as:

“any attempt by a student or any attempt by an individual to aid a student, to gain an unfair advantage in any assessment by deception or fraudulent means”.

This is viewed very seriously by the University. The following are examples of academic dishonesty – read them and be aware of them so that you do not fall into this trap and suffer the consequences:

Aiding and abetting dishonest practice;

Bribery - paying another student for a copy of their work, paying for an advance copy of an unseen paper;

Calculator fraud – storing information in the memory of a programmable calculator

for use during an exam;

Collusion – presenting an unauthorised piece of group work as your own;

Commissioning another person to complete work and submitting it as your own;

Computer fraud – the use of material of another person stored on a hard or floppy

disc;

Duplication – inclusion of material which has already been submitted for any other

assessment in this University or elsewhere;

False declarations – like claiming false extenuating circumstances to obtain

exemption from work or to explain a missed deadline;

Falsification of data – e.g. ‘making up’ data in a project;

Misconduct in exams or tests – use of crib notes, copying from another student,

sitting an examination on behalf of another student or asking someone to do this for you, leaving the exam/test to look at pre-hidden notes, taking any stationery from an exam venue if you are not allowed to do so;

(30)

30

Plagiarism is a very serious academic offence. It is the equivalent of stealing someone’s work and fraudulently pretending that it is your own in order to gain higher marks than you deserve. Copying, word for word, large chunks of writing from any source (e.g. paper, book, other students’ work, an internet source) without acknowledgement of the author or owner, is plagiarism as it is wrongly claimed that ideas, models, new techniques are yours. With modern technology this has become increasingly easy to do and anyone who suspects that it is happening should seek advice immediately. This also applies to a situation where you have lent someone your work to help them and they have substantially reproduced it without acknowledgement.

Plagiarising someone else’s work is very different from the collaborative teamwork that helps you to develop ideas and is a shared learning activity.

Given the seriousness of the offence, plagiarism can lead to permanent exclusion from the University. Within the School any suspected offences will be investigated by the module organiser concerned. A member of staff who suspects that plagiarism has occurred will ask another member of staff for a second opinion before asking you (and any others involved) to justify your actions. If, in the member of staff’s view, there is a case to answer, the Examinations Officer and the Director of the School will be informed. Further investigations will take place and, where plagiarism is identified, appropriate penalties applied. Depending on the extent of the offence, assignments, modules and ultimately your degree may be failed.

All students should be aware that the School of Social Sciences imposes penalties on any student who is guilty of plagiarising work or of engaging in unfair practice in any assessment. You should be aware that cheating has resulted in disqualification from the degree. The penalty will obviously relate to the seriousness of the offence and to the past record of the student. For further details see the official University Policy on plagiarism. You will have the usual right to appeal against any such decision using the University procedures. If you are unclear about what does or does not constitute plagiarism, you should seek advice from a member of staff.

Any suspected academic dishonesty will be investigated thoroughly. Marks will be withheld where it is suspected and you will be notified in writing that your work is under investigation and given details of the process that will be followed.

(31)

BANGOR UNIVERSITY’S WARNING TO STUDENTS – DON’T CHEAT

The University lists the following examples of cheating:

1. Engaging in plagiarism by using other people’s work and submitting for examination or assessment as though it were one’s own work.

2. Taking unauthorised materials (such as a book, notes or loose papers of any kind) or any source of unauthorised information into an examination room. 3. Communicating with another person in an examination room.

4. Copying or using in any other way unauthorised materials or the work of any other candidate.

5. Impersonating an examination candidate or allowing oneself to be impersonated.

6. Claiming to have carried out experiments, observations, interviews or any form of research that one has not in fact carried out, or claiming to have obtained results that have not in fact been obtained.

7. To present evidence of special circumstances to examination boards which is false, falsified or which in any way is intended to mislead the boards.
