INU1107: Academic and Professional Development

Assignment 1: Study Skills Guide (50%)

You are required to write a Study Skills Guide aimed at new international students arriving to study on the International Year One Business Programme in January 2025. The key aim of your Guide should be to help them manage their own success as students.

This is a group-based assignment.

Assignment Question

Select four of the topic areas from the Semester 1 ‘Academic Development’ syllabus that your group considers to be the most important and useful skills required for successful study on the IYOB programme, and beyond into future NUBS degree programmes.

Research each topic area in order to analyse why and how the development of this skill can make studying in a U.K. Higher Education (UK HE) environment a more enjoyable and successful experience.

Your analysis should:

1. Identify the skill.

2. Clarify why this skill is important/relevant/useful for UK HE.

3. Provide clear guidance on how to develop and improve this skill.

4. Offer insight in to how this skill can directly help manage study activities (with examples).

5. Comment on the potential benefit(s) that development of this skill could bring.

6. Provide resources that can help students to develop and reflect upon this skill.

Finally, you should provide a reflection on:

1. Your own learning about your development of study skills from completing this assignment (individual reflection).

2. The benefits and challenges of working in a group on an assignment (group reflection).

If you wish to provide visual examples of any study skill strategies or techniques you refer to in your analysis, please place these in an appendix not in the main sections of your assignment.

Word Count (Word Limit)

All semester assignments that are written text (e.g., essays, reports) will specify a word limit. The word limit is the maximum number of words that you should write, and it is imposed to ensure fairness when marking each individual student’s work. It is also intended to encourage concise and precise writing, which is a necessary skill in business studies as well as in future employment.

In producing your work, you must use a version of Word for Windows. You must accurately state the number of words when you submit each semester assignment. The word count includes all parts of your assignment. However, it does not include the references or the cover sheet.

If you exceed the word limit you will be penalised on the following scale:

Excess Words (%)	Penalty deducted as % of mark awarded
1-10%	no penalty
11-20%	Up to 5% deduction
21-30%	Up to 10% deduction
31-40%	Up to 15% deduction

We will check the stated word count and if you provide an inaccurate word count or use a word count other than the current Word for Windows word count, you may be liable to a penalty.

Suggested Structure:

· Cover page

· Introduction

· Individual sections for each of the four topic areas selected.

· Final Reflection

· List of References

· Appendix (if required)

Grading:

This assignment will be graded according to the following set of criteria (please see below).

This includes a Peer Evaluation form. (available separately) which allows you to provide confidential feedback on the individual contributions made by each of your Group members. Peer evaluation can add between 1-4 extra marks to final grades.

Grade Descriptors

Grade Descriptors for Undergraduate Summative and Formative Assessment

Class	Mark (%)	Descriptor
First	86-100	Exemplary. Exceptional work showing insight into the topic; reflects a complete grasp of knowledge and understanding. Such work is only rarely encountered.
	76-85	Outstanding. Comprehensive knowledge of the topic, showing depth of understanding with evidence of judgement in selection and critical analysis of relevant material. Logically structured and clearly written.
	70-75	Excellent. Detailed knowledge of the topic, with evidence of judgement in selection and critical analysis of relevant material. Well written with good structure. Minor errors acceptable if compensated by excellence in other areas.
Upper Second	65-69	Very Good. Displays good knowledge and thorough understanding of the topic with evidence of broader understanding informed by wider reading. Less critical grasp of the subject than evident in a First-Class answer.
Upper Second	60-64	Good. Reasonably good knowledge and understanding, but little evidence of critical assessment or analysis. Coherent presentation but less well- structured than seen at higher grades.
Lower Second	55-59	Adequate. Sound general knowledge of the subject as taught but lacks evidence of broader understanding. Presented in a satisfactory framework with relevance to the topic retained throughout.
Lower Second	50-54	Fair. Adequate, except that the work may be rather thin or unimaginative, missing some key points or lacking in clarity.
Third	45-49	Weak. Exhibits defects such as: · factually correct, but at an elementary level · or a narrow selection of material with significant omissions · or significant errors of fact or understanding · or muddled, lacking cohesion and direction, or a misguided selection of material.
Third	40-44	Poor. Typically includes several and sometimes significant defects and is thus barely acceptable. May include very short answers that nevertheless include key points.
Fail	35-39	Very poor. A very thin piece of work containing evidence of only rudimentary knowledge of the topic.
	30-34	Extremely poor. The work demonstrates little relevant knowledge and/or understanding of the subject.
	20-29	Clear fail. Work that misses major elements of the knowledge base. Deserves recognition for making an effort to answer the question or address the essay title but shows very little evidence of knowledge or understanding.
	10-19	Serious fail. Significant inability to engage with the question or essay title. Marks are awarded within this range for overall presentation, the odd relevant word in context but negligible evidence of knowledge or understanding.
	0-9	Outright fail. Work of very little or no value, or disqualified due to lateness, plagiarism, or other disciplinary offences.

· Where relevant, the effectiveness of oral presentation skills (for example focus, presentation structure, audience communication, visual aids) will be considered

· For quantitative work, the application of analytical techniques, in addition to attention to detail and interpretation of results where relevant, will be considered.
