Any group work used is individually assessed.

There will be often input from employers and/or work place mentors during the assessment process dependent upon specific arrangements made in the unit. You will be required to ensure that the work you submit for assessment is your own. All coursework submitted is subject to university procedures for the detection of plagiarism.
