Editor's Notes
- Welcome to the third part in the series of recordings. The first terms assignment is a corporate governance review. This 6 part series has been created to provide you with support for this assignment.
- Part one gave you an introduction to the assignment and part two covered the overview section. This recording will cover Part three – Issues and Impact. CLICK NOW This section follows on from the overview. The following slides will guide you on how to progress and complete the issues and impact section of your document.
- This table shown here is available in the assignment brief document which details a word count guide for each section. Each individual heading should be featured in your assignment with additional subheadings. Here you can see that the issues and impact section follows the overview and will then lead onto the ongoing impact section. As a guide the word counts should be roughly 900 words and therefore forms a substantial part of the assignment. You will also see included in the assignment brief document, which you can obtain from the NILE site, the full marking rubric. Again reflect on this Rubric thoroughout your time preparing your assignment work to ensure that you understand the quality of work required to gain a good grade.
- Each individual issue should have its own subheading. Remember that I am using Tesco’s as an example and is not one of the companies that you can chose. See the assignment brief for the list of companies you can chose. Here I have displayed my notes I can use when I construct the issues and impact paragraphs. Note that your research for the company you have chosen will have its own unique issues. Now you have an idea of what your issues and impact section will include, reflect on the word count detailed in the assignment brief and create paragraphs to incorporate the points you have noted focusing on linking paragraphs. Reflect on Week 4 workshop – Effective Academic Reading and Note-taking Skills with Simon Matthews. Use the skills you gained in this workshop to read effectively and utilise your notes to avoid repeatedly reading resources.
- Remember you are encouraged from the very beginning to have commenced on creating your reference list, following the instructions detailed in the Harvard Referencing guide. The full Harvard Referencing guide should be a constant guide throughout your assignment preparation assisting with in-text citation.
- Further support can be obtained from Jo Farmer our Academic Librarian or the Learning Development Team, view NILE to obtain the contact details.
- The next part, part 4 of the series will cover ongoing impact. CLICK UNTIL TEXT PULSING STARTS
