Description Assignment 4: Final Dissertation
12 cp dissertations must be marked by the principle
supervisor and one independent marker (not supervisor).
The draft dissertation is due in Friday Week 10 of
Semester 2 and is to be submitted online via Moodle. For
the draft Dissertation, your supervisor will only be able to advise you on what you have submitted. Partial completed versions increase your risk of failure of the subject.
Students should undertake all corrections specified by the
supervisor in the draft dissertation. The final dissertation is
due in Friday Week 13 of Session 2 and is to be submitted
online via Moodle. At least two academic staff will assess
the final dissertation. Both assessors will carry equal
weight. If the marks differ by more than 10%, a third
assessor will be consulted.
