NOTE:  All deadlines are final.  No late work will be accepted without the written permission of the MA Convenor, which shall not normally be given without documented medical evidence or equivalently serious cause.  It is expected that students in difficulty will request an extension which can only be granted by the MA Convenor, who can be contacted directly.  The request for extension can be discussed as well with your Personal Tutor, but please remember that she/he cannot approve an extension.  A medical note will be required in case of illness.  Work which is late without permission will be penalised by 3 marks a day.

 

All assessed work must conform to the stated maximum word lengths.  The maximum word lengths are inclusive of quotations and footnotes but not of bibliography.  You will be asked to provide a word count of your essays on the cover sheet which you complete when the work is submitted.  We allow a stated margin of up to 10% over or under-length for flexibility.  Essays that are 10-25% over/under-length will incur a penalty of 3 marks.  Essays that are more than 25% over/under-length will be refused.
