Analyse TWO (2) underlying marketing issues of the project. Based on the findings, you need to prepare a set of (ONLY ONE) proposed social marketing strategy to be presented to the beneficiaries of the project. The set of social marketing strategies shall be looked from a branding perspective that had been required by the project. Your suggestions must take into consideration the target social market segmentation and should be able to address the social problem with an array of interventions through proposed innovative social marketing and branding strategies - in a way that makes change “meaningful, interesting and impactful” to the beneficiaries.

https://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/studysupport/studyskills/referencing/uwebristolharvard.asp x

A reference list must be attached with your assignment. You are expected to adhere to high standards of academic integrity and all assignments submitted in this course may be checked for plagiarism, using Turnitin. Plagiarism is regarded as a serious issue within the university system with severe consequences for students who have been found to have plagiarised. It is your responsibility to ensure you understand plagiarism so that you do not commit the offence of plagiarism. Student’s assignment with a similarity index of 21% and above will subject to penalty.  Students  who  failed  to  upload  their  assignments  for  Turnitin  purposes  will  be penalised.

Submission of Assignment

Students are expected to present a paper of professional quality. Prior to submission of the assignment, check to ensure that at the very least all aspects of the requirements have been addressed, and that there are no spelling and grammatical errors. You are required to submit your completed assignment to Turnitin at myTIMeS. Only one assignment should be submitted on behalf of the group.

Late submission of assignment

Assignments submitted within 24 hours after the published deadline will be penalised as below:

a)  A mark of more than 50% for the assignment will be reduced to 50%. This reduced mark will be used in the calculation of the overall module mark;

b)  Amark of 50% or less will stand and be used in the calculation of the overall module mark.

Assignments will not be accepted after the 24-hour window and will be recorded as a non- submission. A mark of ZERO will be awarded. Please see the section on Non-Submission of Assignment below for more details.

Extension of Deadline

No extension will be granted for the assignment, except in the case of  extenuating circumstances. Please refer to the section on Extenuating Circumstances in the document, should you like to request for consideration of extenuating circumstances.

Students, whose application for extenuating circumstances is accepted, will not receive their marks, when the other students who submitted on time receive theirs.

Non-Submission of Assignment

Students who do not submit their assignment will be deemed to have forfeited their right to a second attempt (resit) of the module. These students will be required to repeat the module with attendance and undertake all assessments again (as their third attempt (repeat)).

Note that students are granted only four attempts at a module. If you do not pass the module in the fourth attempt, you will be excluded from the Dual Award programme.

Requirement for Passing Module

This is a 100% coursework module. Students should submit all the three pieces of work. To pass this module, a student must achieve an overall module mark of not less than 50%. A student who obtains a mark less than 50% (i.e 49% and below) for the module maybe allowed tore-sit, to be determined by the Board of Examiners. The passing grade awarded for there-sit will be a grade C.

Resit Continuous Assessment

The resit assessment for the continuous assessment component shall be in the form of an

assignment, with a weighting of 50% of the overall module re-sit assessments. To qualify for aresit opportunity, a student must:

•          not have exhausted four assessment attempts in this module, AND

•          have submitted his/her assessments on time, AND

•          have attended the assessments.

However, note that your right to resit could be forfeited if you have committed any assessment offences, did not submit a piece of assessed work on time or failed to attend an assessment.

The mark for aresit component is capped at 50%.

Assessment Offences

You are to use the Harvard referencing styles consistently for all written assessments. Taylor’s University treats any acts of dishonesty relating to assessment of University modules very seriously. It is vital that  students acquaint themselves with the University’s policy on assessment offences. Assessment Offences is defined here as passing off the work of others as one’s own including copying (reproducing or imitating), cheating, collusion (agreement to deceive, using words or ideas of colleagues or  other  students  and passing  them off  as you own), plagiarism and other breaches of assessment or other examination regulations. Cheating, collusion and plagiarism are the use of unfair means of presenting work for assessment; aiding another student in the use of unfair means of presenting work for assessment; or preventing or attempting to prevent another student from being able to be assessed properly.

The University is to check any work submitted by students using text comparison software, for instance Turnitin. The similarity index produced by the software is an important tool to assess a student’s performance. However, the index is not the only tool to conclusively determine the existence of breach of academic integrity. It is important to note that although the rate of similarity maybe significantly high or otherwise, the lecturer/tutor/instructor is responsible to exercise his or her independent professional judgement to determine the actual existence of a breach of academic integrity.

Allegations of and investigations into assessment offences will be dealt within accordance with the regulations and procedures in force at Taylor's University for the module. Where a student is found to have committed an assessment offence a decision must be taken either to take no further action or to impose an appropriate penalty which may include failing the studentand determining whether or not the student will be permitted another assessment attempt.

Where it is decided that penalty is to be  imposed, the penalty  could include one of the followings:

a)         the mark for the relevant piece of assessment be reduced; or

b)        the mark awarded for the relevant piece of assessment be reduced to zero; or

c)         the  student be deemed to have failed the module, and is not permitted for another assessment attempt for the module.

Please refer to Taylor’s Dual Award Programme Guide for details on Assessment Offences.

Extenuating Circumstances

Extenuating circumstances are circumstances which are unforeseen, unexpected, significantly disruptive and beyond a student’s control. The circumstances must relate to a specific piece of assessment or examination rather than being problems of a kind that affect a year as a whole or parts of it.

A student who is of the opinion that:

•    his or her performance in an examination or in other assessed work has been adversely affected by an extenuating circumstance(s), or

•    his or her ability to attend an examination has been adversely affected by an extenuating circumstance(s).

Student could submit an Extenuating Circumstances Form to the Examinations Centre at Taylor’s University. The form. must be accompanied by supporting documentary evidence.

Acceptance of extenuating circumstances shall be evaluated on a case-to -case basis by an Extenuating Circumstances Panel. The decision of the Panel shall be deemed as final.

Circumstances that  are unlikely to be  accepted  as  extenuating  circumstances include the following:

•    personal illness or disability for which special arrangements are already in place.

•    colds or know conditions such as hay fever.

•   normal examination stress or anxiety experienced during revision or the assessment period (unless corroborated by medical evidence as a chronic condition and undergoing treatment).

•  non serious domestic or personal disruptions (e.g. moving house, change of job,

holidays,weddings, normal job pressure, failed travel arrangements, financial difficulties, oversleeping).

• study related circumstances (equipment failure including computing/printer difficulties

(unless they occur in the examination itself), failure to have taken backup copies for work stolen or corrupted, bunching of deadlines/examinations, missing books, poor time management, misreading the examination timetable, taking the wrong examination).

(Note: The above list is not exhaustive).
