The oral presentation will be on 17/10/13. Each presentation is 15 mins in length with 5 mins for questions/feedback. Students are expected to attend all presentations. This is a presentation of final results, not a ‘work in progress’. All analysis should be completed by this point.The maximum length of the dissertation should be 40 pages (12pt font, 1½ spaced, Times New Roman, at least 1 inch margins all around), excluding references. This page limit also excludes appendices, which should be used judiciously. You may wish to include (if appropriate) a copy of your survey, material you used in your experimental design, interview schedule, or raw data output in your appendices. You should not include any new material that is central to the discussion in your dissertation (i.e. don't use your appendices to introduce any new information that should have gone in the main body of your text).Holding of Copies of AssessmentFor quality assurance purposes the School is required to hold on record a number of assignments/tests as examples of differing standards of work for up to five years. All work will be held in an electronic form on a secure server and will be anonymised. If you have any objections to the School holding your assignment/test for this purpose then email the course coordinator to ensure your work is not used.
