Guidelines
Read the following guidelines in conjunction with the box chart showing the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for this Unit provided earlier in this handbook. You should also consider the skills development section above and note how your progress with regard to the University’s four key skills will be assessed in this assignment. In addition, please study carefully the following specific guidelines:
(1) The assignment requires you to write a report in Term 3. The word limit is 3,000 words and you should provide a word count at the end of the report. This limit does include references used inside the report but does not include your references list at the end of the report
(2) The subject of your report is UK government policy response to the issues facing a social group whose members lives are impacted by globalization. You can choose which policy area and social group (Human Trafficking) to write about but they have to be amongst those explored in the lecture/seminar programme as explained above in this handbook.
(3) This is a summative assignment, for you to show how you have built upon Assignment 1 and to assess your capacity to synthesize the different strands of your learning on the Unit through a critical evaluation of the policy and the effectiveness of policy response for practitioners and service users ‘on the ground’ where the global and the local meet each other. The global context for this policy will help you to establish a holistic approach to your learning on the Unit as well as the confidence to develop your own considered position in the globalization debates.
(4) The title of Assignment 2 is hence as follows: Critically evaluate current UK government policy relating to a social group in the context of globalisation. Your report could consist of the following elements, in the sequence outlined below, as a guide – although it is not meant to be prescriptive. At Level 6, you are free to develop your own organising structure after all.
A suggested report structure is as follows:
i) An Executive Summary, which summarises – in a list of bullet points – the contents and findings of each section of the report with sufficient text for 1 side of A4
ii) The Title of the report and a Table of Contents with page numbering
iii) An Introduction section, on the objectives of the report, the policy and social group choices (South Asian or Syrian etc), how the report is going to link them together and the impact of global processes.
iv) A Theoretical Perspective section, on which one theoretical perspective as (Optimistic or Pessimistic see attached information) associated with globalization debates you have selected to try and makes sense of the UK government policy.
v) A Policy section, which critically evaluates the policy and considers how it relates to the social group. Has the policy changed over time as a result of globalization? If so, in what ways and what are the consequences for the social group? Is the policy working, or not, as implemented by practitioners?
vi) A Social Group section, which analyses the impacts of globalization on the lives of members of the social group (Syrian and other nationality)– where the global meets the local (how local people are affected). What are they exactly? How have they changed the lives of members of the group? Are the practitioners helping?
vii) A set of Overall Findings that show what you have discovered and how far your chosen theoretical perspective has illuminated your understanding of issues, events and experiences
ix) A References list, which lists the minimum of fifteen sources you have selectively drawn from in order to pass.
As with ALL your Level 6 written assignments, you should reference your report using the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences Referencing Guidelines that is available on the unit’s BREO site. If you have any concerns in this area, you must seek some support from your course manager or the Unit coordinator.
(6) Your report must be word processed, double spaced and page numbered. You must also include a word count at the end. The University regulation is that students can go 10% over the specified word limit for a written assignment but you should try to avoid doing this because writing concisely and precisely to a limit are important Level 6 study skills.
(7) Written expression is hence an important element of good written communication, so try to write clearly and accurately. Also put yourself in the position of the audience and ask yourself whether someone coming to your work ‘cold’ would be able to follow your train of thought. You should proof read and edit your final draft before handing it in and/or ask a trusted person to read it through for you. No more than 10% of the assignment should be in the form of quotations.
(8) See the Level Six feedback sheet and marking criteria towards the back of this handbook for an indication of how your work will be graded.
