Format and Referencing: SSPC Assignments

With all coursework assignments, you should check in the module specifications/handbook, or with the relevant Module Lead, for any specific requirements for your coursework. It is essential that your coursework assignments fulfill these requirements so your final assessment mark is not affected.

Typically, we expect the following:

• Word processing for Essays: You should type up a coursework essay on computer as an electronic file, using a standard word processing package, such as Microsoft Word.
• Style and format: In all of your coursework in your Education modules, you will be expected to use the Harvard referencing style.

You will be informed of other specific formatting requirements that you are expected to adhere to in your coursework.
