\n? What role do states and other public authorities such as international organisations
\nplay in the oil industry? For instance, do they play a minimal role, merely providing
\nthe framework of rules and regulations that facilitate the operation of global markets
\nor do they play a more interventionist role (perhaps as owners of multinational
\ncorporations or factors of production)?
\n? What factors affect the relationship between multinational corporations and states in
\nthe oil industry? Are these relationships cooperative or antagonistic?
\n? What factors affect the balance of power between states and multinational
\ncorporations in the oil industry?
\nHow to submit your assessment
\nThe report must be submitted via Turnitin by 23.55 on 9th January 2017. No paper copies are
\nrequired. You can access the Turnitin link through the module web.
\n? Your coursework will be given a zero mark if you do not submit a copy through
\nTurnitin. Should you submit work on time but fail the assignment, you will be offered
\na resit opportunity but the resit mark will be capped at 40%.
\n? All work submitted after the submission deadline without a valid and approved
\nreason (see below) will be given a mark of zero. Please note that a non-submission
\nis not the same as a failed submission; a failed submission counts as an attempt
\nwhereas an absent mark does not necessarily allow you to resit the coursework.
\n? Students MUST keep a copy and\/or an electronic file of their assignment.
\n? Checks will be made on your work using anti-plagiarism software and approved
\nplagiarism checking websites.
\nEXTENSIONS
\nThe University wants you to do your best. However we know that sometimes events happen
\nwhich mean that you can?t submit your coursework by the deadline ? these events should be
\nbeyond your control and not easy to predict. If this happens, you can apply for an extension
\nto your deadline for up to two weeks, or if you need longer, you can apply for a deferral,
\nwhich takes you to the next assessment period (for example, to the resit period following the
\nmain Assessment Boards). You must apply before the deadline.
\nYou will find information about the process and what is or is not considered to be an event
\nbeyond your control athttps:\/\/share.coventry.ac.uk\/students\/Registry\/Pages\/Deferrals-andExtension.aspx
\nGUIDELINES AND BACKGROUND TO THIS ASSIGNMENT
\nThis assessment will assess the module learning outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4 and makes
\nup 50% of the overall module mark.
\nWord Count Limit
\nCoursework 2 M01SSL SEPJAN1617
\nPage 3 of 6
\nYour word count includes in text citations but not the final references or appendices. If you
\nare more than 10% over or under the word count limit you may lose marks as a 10% penalty
\napplies.
\nThe contents of your References and Appendices are not normally given a specific mark
\n(though they may contribute to your overall mark, as detailed in the assessment criteria). We
\ntherefore recommend that you only use Appendices for supporting material and not for the
\nsubstantive part of your work.
\nPlagiarism
\nAs part of your study you will be involved in carrying out research and using this when
\nwriting up your coursework. It is important that you correctly acknowledge someone else?s
\nwriting or thoughts and that you do not attempt to pass this off as your own work. Doing so
\nis known as plagiarism. It is not acceptable to copy from another source without
\nacknowledging that it is someone else?s writing or thinking. This includes using paraphrasing
\nas well as direct quotations. You are expected to correctly cite and reference the works of
\nothers. The Centre for Academic Writing provides documents to help you get this right. If you
\nare unsure, please visit www.coventry.ac.uk\/caw.
\nTurnitin includes a plagiarism detection system and assessors are experienced enough to
\nrecognise plagiarism when it occurs. Copying another student?s work, using previous work of
\nyour own or copying large sections from a book or the internet are examples of plagiarism
\nand carry serious consequences. Please familiarise yourself with the CU Harvard
\nReference Style (on Moodle) and use it correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or cheating
\nbeing brought. Again, if you are unsure, please contact the Centre for Academic Writing or a
\nmember of the course team.
\nReturn of Marked Work
\nYou can expect to have marked work returned to you 2 weeks after the submission date.
\nMarks and feedback will be provided online. As always, marks will have been internally
\nmoderated only, and will therefore be provisional; your mark will be formally agreed later in
\nthe year once the external examiner has completed his \/ her review.<\/p>\n
