First sit task level assessments

Automatically created Blackboard assignment submission points for first sit task level summative tasks are set up with the following information and instructions:

• Work submitted to this submission point will be classed as your official submission. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your work is successfully submitted. Always check your email receipt and the submission point to confirm your work has uploaded successfully. If there is a problem with your submission you can make changes or resubmit your work up to the given deadline. The last attempt you submit will be the attempt that is marked.
• Academic Integrity. By submitting, you are certifying that this is your own work, and that the work of others is duly acknowledged and correctly referenced. You can use artificial intelligence (AI) unless your tutor explicitly forbids it. You must acknowledge it where used and keep a record of all your interactions with the AI (chat exchanges, versions and drafts) for submission in case there is an enquiry about the authenticity of your work, i.e. concerns about authorship. If you are not sure whether your AI use is acceptable, seek advice from your tutor. Your submission may be checked by software such as Turnitin to verify it is your own work.
• If you have a learning contract which states that you must submit work with a blue sticker on it, type the words from the blue sticker at the top of the front page of your work.
• You must ensure that your work is submitted using the file format(s) specified by the Module Leader. Files must not exceed 250MB in size.
• If you are submitting up to 24 hours after the deadline without an approved extension, you can still use the extension process if you have not used all of your 4 extensions. You must do this within 24 hours of the deadline.
• Further guidance, including what to do if you are unable to submit, can be found on Assessment4Students.
