The purpose of this TL001 is to inform you of the new assessment requirements for module HSY1512 for students registered for both semester periods. Assessment is conducted in this module through assignments and an examination. Assignments are seen as part of the learning material for this module. As you do your assignments, study the reading, consult other resources, discuss the work with fellow students or lecturers, or do research, you are actively engaged in learning. Looking at the assessment criteria given for each assignment will help you to understand what is required of you more clearly. 1.1 Assessment criteria We set multiple-choice question-type assignments, as well as paragraph- and essay-type assignments, in this module. Some general criteria regarding written assignments (paragraph and essay-type assignments) include the following, which apply to all academic work in the Department of History:  Each assignment is regarded as a small research project. By embarking on such an assignment, you will be joining a large community of researchers who are all conducting similar research projects or reports.  You are required to consult different texts or sources in compiling your assignments. We will provide guidance to you for each assignment, but you are also encouraged to utilise other resources (books, articles and internet sources) in compiling your assignments. Good use of such additional sources will earn you extra marks.  Assignments that are well substantiated and contain relevant content and information will be better rewarded than those that are superficial and insubstantial. You will be given guidance in each particular assignment about what lecturers are looking for in that assignment, so take careful note of this.  The organisation of your ideas is important. Aim to present your ideas in a clear, coherent way, rather than as a disorganised or random collection of data. This applies to both paragraphs and essays.  Aim to be independent and original in your assignments. Obviously, as a first-level student, we realise that you will be heavily dependent on the study guide in compiling your assignments, but at the same time an assignment, which merely gives back our own study material in exactly the same form cannot receive good marks. We give credit to students who think for themselves and who interpret the material in an original way. We have found in the past that all students have original thoughts, but often do not feel confident in expressing these and so many tend to give us back what we have presented
