Note 1: The Grading Criteria (marking schemes) for poster and lab report can be found
Studynet Assignment page).
Detail on Progress tests (HPPii and HPPiv)
There will be two progress tests.
Progress test 1 will be based on material from lectures, practicals and workshops from
weeks 10 to 21. The test will consist of multiple response questions (MRQs).
Progress test 2 will be based on material from lectures, practicals and workshops from
weeks 25 to 38. The test will consist of multiple response questions (MRQs).

We would normally expect you to spend approximately 10 hours each on Progress tests 1 and 2
in addition to your regular studies on this module.
This assignment will be marked by a computer with pre-set model answers.
Detail on Assignment HPPi
You are expected to produce a group poster (up to 5 students in a group) based on a topic of
your choice among the given topics.
We would normally expect you to spend approximately 10 hours on the poster in addition to
your regular studies on this module.
This assignment is exempted from anonymous marking. It will use poster marking scheme.
In addition to electronic submission on StudyNet (for TurnitIn checking) the poster will need to
be printed and presented for assessment in designated time slot and face-to-face feedback will
be provided following the presentation.
Detail on Assignment (HPPiii)
You are expected to write a full laboratory report based on a practical and it will be anonymously
peer assessed by a fellow student. We would normally expect you to spend approximately 10
hours on the full lab report in addition to your regular studies on this module. This is an
individual report. You need to pay particular attention to avoid plagiarism and collusion. Please
refer to your student handbook for details.
This assignment will use lab report marking scheme.
In addition to electronic submission on StudyNet (for TurnitIn checking) a hard copy will need to
be handed in for peer assessment.
Feedback will be provided by returning the hard copy with comments. A reflection and
evaluation is required online after receiving the returned assignment.
Detail on drop-quizzes (HPPv)
Drop quizzes will use EVS (electronic voting system). They will occur randomly throughout the
module in lectures, workshops and practical sessions. There will be up to 10 drop quizzes in
total and each consists of 5 multiple choice questions (MCQs). The average marks of your
personal best six out of ten runs will be taken for the final assignment mark.
Feedback will be provided immediately. Please note there are no alternative options, eg. paper
version, for this assignment.
Late submission and extensions
Late submission of up to 1 week will result in a maximum mark of 40%. Extensions must be
requested from your Level Tutor or Programme Tutor. (see the student handbook for detail of
the procedure).
Referencing
Referencing should follow the Guidelines of the School of Life and Medical Sciences. These can
be found on the Bioscience Programme StudyNet site.

Performance in laboratory classes
In order to meet the learning outcomes for the module you must attend all laboratory classes. If
you miss a laboratory class (both SA or NSA) it is your responsibility to contact the module
coordinator by email immediately giving the reason for your lack of attendance. If you have a
legitimate reason for missing a session, the module coordinator may be able to arrange your
attendance at a subsequent running of the practical session or ask you to do alternative work.
Failure to inform the module coordinator and submit the alternative work will result in you being
penalised by deduction of 5% of your coursework mark.
You must use your logbook for making notes and recording data for all laboratory experiments.
Logbooks should normally be completed during the practical. If data are not available (e.g.
because of experimental constraints) written work can be completed either before or during the
following laboratory session. Logbooks should briefly record Aims, Results and Conclusion. To
avoid plagiarism when working in pairs, you should discuss the results of your experiments
with your laboratory partner but the report should always be your own work, in your own
words. Work done as a group may, in some cases, be submitted as a group report but the
structure of the report should follow the same format. Your logbook will be assessed by your
personal tutor.

Serious Adverse Circumstances
Serious adverse circumstances' are significant circumstances beyond a students control that
would have affected the students ability to perform to their full potential if they were to submit or
attend assessments at the appointed time. If, despite such circumstances, you decide to
sit/submit an assessment, the University will not normally accept a claim of serious
adverse circumstances in respect of that assessment. UPR AS12 Appendix 1 5.4.2 http://sitem.herts.ac.uk/secreg/upr/pdf/AS12-apx1-Ass%20Exams%20Regs%20for
%20Candidates-including%20Appeals%20Proc%20UK-v06.0.pdf
If there are Serious Adverse Circumstances that have affected your assessment(s), you must
communicate details to the University together with appropriate evidence, using the form
provided by your School. You should read the Universitys guidance on Serious Adverse
Circumstances before you sit/submit an assessment. Full guidance can be found in your
Programme Handbook and in the electronic A - Z Guide (page 85) which can be found at:
http://issuu.com/uniofherts/docs/a_to_z_guide_v3/101?e=8600960/8825705
Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct, eg cheating, collusion and plagiarism (copying the work of others and
failing to disclose the source), is viewed very seriously by the School of Life and Medical
Sciences and any student suspected of committing an academic misconduct offence will be
investigated fully in accordance with the University Policies and Procedures on Academic
Misconduct. Please see further details in your Student Handbook, the Student A-Z guide or the
following sites.
Refer to UPR AS12 Appendix 1 Section 2. - http://sitem.herts.ac.uk/secreg/upr/pdf/AS12-apx1Ass%20Exams%20Regs%20for%20Candidates-including%20Appeals%20Proc%20UKv06.0.pdf
