Essay Analysis

1. Is this an essay or a report?
   You should write this as a report with appropriate sections as explained in the formatting guide.
2. How many references would you expect?
   Quality is valued higher than quantity. As a rough guide 5-10 academic/ professional references.
3. What is the best way to start searching information for this assignment?
   Select key words related to the factors related to chosen project and search in ‘Google Scholar’ or
   ‘UWS Library search’ to get more academic/ professional references.
4. Where should I submit?
   You should submit to the correct Turitin link, based on the tutor. The links are available in vUWS
   under assessments.
5. What is the accepted % match in Turnitin?
   Originality reports for work that are over 25% will be individually reviewed. You need not worry
   even if it is above 25%, as long as you did the work on your own; properly acknowledged information
   sources using Harvard referencing; did not cut and paste large chunks from any source; and, used
   paraphrasing effectively. Significant penalties will apply for plagiarism and collusion cases
   depending on severity. Please refer further student academic misconduct policy in

6. When I submitted the % match it was less. However it has increased now.
   Why?
   This could happen when other students submit after you and they have also referred to similar
   material and references. You need not worry, if you have completed your work as required.
7. Do I also need to submit a hard copy?
   No. You only need to submit the soft copy. Remember to keep the digital receipt of submission for
   your reference and to show as evidence if required.

8. Do I need to add a standard cover page?
   No, do not use the standard cover page as this will result in % increase in the originality match.
   However, remember to add your own title page for your report indicating Assignment 1, selected
   topic, your name and student number.
9. Can I submit draft copies to check the % match before final submission?
   Yes, please submit drafts few days prior to the due date as it could take longer (up to 24 hours) to
   get the originality report in the second submission. The previous submission will be over-written in
   your second submission.
   10.I missed the due date? How can I make late submissions?
   Use the same turnitin submission link. However, penalties for late submission will apply as stated in
   the learning guide, if the student has not received an extension through the special consideration
   process.
   11.When and how will I receive feedback?
   You will receive an announcement after two weeks when the marking is completed with instructions
   on how to view your feedback through vUWS.
