Additional Information:
Part 1

Part 2
Have you applied ethical theories to analyze the event? If you are unsure look at the Readings and Activities sections in Module 2 again.
Part 3
Have you reflected on your original decision in Part 1? If you are unsure look at the Readings and Activities sections in Module 3.
Overall
Have you written clearly so that the marker can understand what you have written about? If the marker cannot understand you they will be unable to give you a very good mark. It does not matter how much you know, how good you are or how smart you are. If you do not show us that in your assignment, then we cannot give you the marks that you might deserve!
Students sometimes write as though they think the marker has ESP. We don’t! If you do not write your thoughts down, we cannot mark your thoughts. The only way we can find out what you are thinking about is through your written work!
Your written work is the medium between what you are thinking and what we believe you are thinking. Make sure that the written work is not like a mobile phone that has a weak signal.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Did you reference your work clearly?
Did you include a Bibliography?
Did you check your work against the Marking Criteria?
We use the Marking Criteria to mark your work. That is why it is called ‘Marking Criteria’. It is the criteria that we use to judge your work.
Proofreading:
If you have followed our suggestions (on the Study Desk) about when to do Parts 1, 2 and 3 you should be able to put your work aside for a few days. You will then be in a
better position to proofread it.
You should leave at least a few days between writing and proofreading. It is nearly impossible to proofread just after writing. Your mind jumps over all the mistakes. You will find some useful material about proofreading on the Study Desk.
