Nationally recognised academic standards
“Public confidence in academic
standards requires public
understanding of the achievements
represented by higher education
qualifications”.
(HEFCE, 2009)
The FHEQ provide important benchmarks of reference for
level 4 (HNC) study:
•knowledge and critical understanding of the well-established
principles of construction and civil engineering, and of the way
in which those principles have developed;
•ability to apply underlying concepts and principles outside the
context in which they were first studied, including, where
appropriate, the application of those principles in an
employment context;
•knowledge of the main methods of enquiry in construction
and civil engineering and ability to evaluate critically the
appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems
in the field of study.
• an understanding of the limits of their knowledge,
and how this influences analyses and
interpretations based on that knowledge.
Typically, holders of a HNC will be able to:
• use a range of established techniques to initiate
and undertake critical analysis of information, and
to propose solutions to problems arising from that
analysis;
• effectively communicate information, arguments
and analysis in a variety of forms to specialist and
non-specialist audiences, and deploy key
techniques of the discipline effectively;
• undertake further training, develop existing skills
and acquire new competences that will enable
them to assume significant responsibility within
organisations.
And holders will have:
• the qualities and transferable skills necessary for
employment requiring the exercise of personal
responsibility and decision-making.

It is recommended that you study using your manuals or
online tutorials, the subject areas currently being taught.
It is recommended that you use the libraries to continue
your assessment research and ideas generation.
Lateness
Punctuality is an essential part of working. You should
endeavour to always be on time – that means
ready to start working at the start time, not just arriving. If
you are going to be late you should phone the
attendance officer on 01452 563388. If you are
repeatedly late this will become a disciplinary issue.
Attendance

How to be a successful* student at Gloucestershire College
Our most successful students demonstrate these
personality traits:
They have ‘grit’: the most successful students have a
determination and never give up on any task.
They practice: the most successful students know that
they must practice a lot to be ready for assessment. A
boxer would say ‘train hard to fight easy’.
They enjoy helping others: the most successful know
that by helping others you help yourself.
They finishing everything: the most successful
students know that in order to attain the best outcome,
everything must be finished.
They experiment: and take risks. Sometimes these
risks don’t work but that’s OK because…
They learn from failure: the most successful learners
take critical feedback and learn from it
They are accountable for themselves: they take
responsibility for their actions and do not apportion
blame.
They are honest: both with themselves and with others
They present solutions: and not problems.
They are critical of their own performance: they
look back and say ‘what could I have done better’
They ask questions: and then ask more questions.
They set high standards for themselves: and they
care about achieving those standards.
They reflect on their performance: they look back
and ask ‘what went well?’ and ‘what did not go well?’
They make ‘To Do’ lists: and they track their
performance.
They present themselves and their work in a
professional manner: because they understand the
value of professionalism.
*successful is not defined by ‘highest grade’ in this
instance. It is people who have done well at college
and gone on to be successful in their ‘life and
career’.

Assessment guidelines
Accreditation of prior learning (APL)
APL is recognition of achievement from a range of
activities gained prior to enrolling on this programme.
APL will only be possible where learning is shown to be
appropriate to the outcomes of the relevant modules or
awards and has been achieved through valid methods.
Initial assessment
The initial assessment process aims to gather
information from a range of different sources to help you
achieve your career goals and aspirations through
successfully completing your programme.
Assessment tasks
Assessment tasks will emphasise active and reflective
learning at level 4 on the FHEQ. You will be given clear
and full information at the outset of the programme on
the nature, timing and general criteria of assessment.
Assessment submission
Assessments are usually uploaded to the Virtual
Learning Environment (VLE) for the unit(s) that you are
studying. Assessments can also be submitted by hand.
If you are in any doubt about how to do either method,
please ask the subject tutor in the first instance.
All assessments will be due on a Friday at 15.30 unless
specifically stated otherwise.
Internal verification of assessment
Standards and quality of assessment will be monitored
by the appointed internal verifier for your programme
according to the Gloucestershire College Internal
Verification policy. This will ensure reliability, validity
and authenticity.
Feedback
Feedback on your assessments will be written on the
Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Feedback should
be timely, supportive and identify areas for
improvement and progression. This is as an integral
part of the assessment process.
External examiner
An external examiner, Greg Skarratt - Principal
Standards Verifier for construction and civil engineering
from Edexcel, will review a sample of marked
assessments to ensure reliable, valid and fair
assessment has been conducted.
Exam board
All assessment grades that have been internally
awarded will be confirmed at the ‘Examination Board’
meetings.
Assessment appeals
The college has a full assessment appeals policy
that can be viewed on the intranet.
gloscol.ac.uk
Assessment Extension
Assessment Submission
An Assessment Extension Request (AE) form must
always be used when you have a situation that will
prevent assessed coursework being presented at the
stipulated date and time.
These forms are available to complete online for each
assessment.
You need to complete the AE form prior to the
assessment deadline.
Students who are deemed to have abused the
Assessment Extension Request process will lose this
privilege and may have extensions refused.
Gloucestershire College Policy is clear on assessment
submission (POL 02 12.4), it states that:
“All student assessments must be submitted by the
deadlines specified on the published assessment
schedule.
Any assessments submitted after the deadline without
an extension request (AE Form) will not be marked
and the student will be deemed to have failed the
assessment.”
Your request will be presented to the Head of School
who will consider your request provided that you have
communicated in good time about the mitigating
circumstance and in advance of hand-in date of the
assessment .
The following reasons are not considered to be
mitigating circumstances:
•Minor illness e.g. cold, headache, flu, sore throat
unless severe and prolonged. A medical certificate will
be required.
•Transport problems
•Computer problems e.g. loss of disk / virus
•Time management
•Other assessments taking priority
•Work commitments
•Holidays
•Software issues
gloscol.ac.uk
Assessment Schedule
A copy is also on display outside A209
Assessment submission dates are also on the
VLE.
gloscol.ac.uk
Assessment Submission Guidance
• All assessments must be completed and submitted within the submission window.
This is the date and time shown on the VLE.
• 'Uploading' is not the same as 'submitting'. You can upload a file at any time that
can be edited. When you 'submit' you can no longer edit your submission. It is
then your final submission that the assessor will grade.
• If an extension is required then this must be requested before or during the
submission window. Extension requests received after the submission window will
only be considered if there are mitigating circumstances such as serious illness
or hospitalisation. The student will be asked to provide evidence of these
mitigating circumstances.
• You must work independently on the assessment.
• There is only one submission of evidence for each assessment.
• Only a 'lead internal verifier' can authorise a resubmission of any assessment. Your
tutor will tell you who this person is.
gloscol.ac.uk
• You do not have a right to a resubmission of the assessment.
• You may be granted a resubmission opportunity as long as:
– you have met initial deadlines, or met an agreed deadline extension. If you do not submit within the
submission window then you will not be allowed an opportunity to resubmit
– your tutor judges that you will be able to provide improved evidence without any further guidance.
– the evidence has been authenticated by both yourself and your assessor. This means that the
evidence that you have submitted has not been plagiarised.
• Please upload one document, preferably in a PDF format, unless otherwise
directed.
• Please include a front sheet for all submissions. This should include your name,
student number, the date, course details and unit details. An example of this was
emailed to you at the beginning of the course.
• All grades will be released at the same time.
• Any resubmissions that have been granted must be completed and resubmitted
within the new date set on the VLE.
• You must resubmit the assessment in its entirety, not just the part that required
resubmission.
• It is your responsibility to check your grade and resubmission date.
• If you wish to formally appeal an assessment decision then please notify your
course leader.
gloscol.ac.uk
Presentation of assessed work
• Assessed work must be presented to a professional level standard. This is true
whether is submitted digitally or physically.
• It must have a fully completed front sheet.
• It must be legible.
• Citations and images must be referenced.
• Drawn diagrams must be clear and annotated.
• Digital submissions must be in a format that is in common use. If in doubt, you
must ask your lecturer before submission.
• Any physical submission must be in an appropriately sized folder – not a plastic
pocket.
• Submissions in A3 size must be folded neatly and correctly.
• Drawings must contain a completed title box.
gloscol.ac.uk
gloscol.ac.uk
Plagiarism
Cheating is a serious offence and takes many forms
including:-
•Plagiarism – passing off the work of someone else as if
it is your own.
•Collusion – working closely with someone else to
produce an assignment that is meant to be the work of an
individual.
The College deals severely with students who cheat and
penalties extend to suspension and withdrawal for a
second, or particularly serious first attempt.
In order to avoid an allegation of cheating make sure that
you follow the guidance you will have been given on
conventions for referencing and for use of quotations.
If you are in any doubt, check with your tutors who will be
happy to advise you.
Any student suspected of cheating (i.e. deceiving
intentionally to gain unfair advantage, for example
through the use of non-permitted materials in
examinations or copying another students work and
attempting to present it as one’s own), or plagiarism (i.e.
using ideas, work or words of another person/s as if they
were one’s own without giving credit to the source using
the approved method of citation), may have their case
presented to a Disciplinary Panel.
Be sure that any phrases, sentences (even part
sentences) that appear in your assessments are
either your words or if the words of others that they
are referenced appropriately. Failure to do so could be
construed as plagiarism with serious consequences.
Students should be aware of the seriousness of these
acts, and the vigilance with which the college
endeavours to enforce the Assessment Submission
Policy.
‘Turnitin’ is plagiarism detection software that will
be used to check submissions.
gloscol.ac.uk
Essentials for Higher Education Study
Studying requires a great deal of effort on your part and
the time you spend in reading, researching and producing
assessments will be much greater than the time spent in
teaching sessions. Here are a few essentials for effective
study:
Manage your time
It is very important to organise and plan your assignments
so that you don’t leave everything to the last minute. Use
your college diary, VLE calendar and time between
lessons to study as this is not meant to be recreational
time.
Regard all lessons as essential
You will be given information that is vital if you are to
correctly complete assessments. Do not regard
attendance as optional, if you do this you are on the road
to failure.
Embrace Harvard Referencing
This is a professional expectation that all sources are
referenced correctly.
Practise critical analysis
You need to be able to evaluate different types of
evidence, based on an understanding of how your data
has been collected, interpreted and presented.
Exam skills
Exam skills need to be developed if you are to
progress to a third year at university.
Utilise the VLE
The VLE is used to support your learning experience
and communicate with you. It is essential in
developing you as an independent and interdependent
learner.
Before submission of an assessment please
ensure you have done the following:
•number pages and tasks and include a front page.
•Add a contents page where appropriate.
•Put your student number on each page;
•all assessments must be word processed unless
stated otherwise in the assessment brief using Arial
font point 12, with double line spacing;
•Any citations must be referenced using the Harvard
style and include a bibliography.
•check you have not plagiarised.
gloscol.ac.uk
Academic Writing
The process of academic writing
Research – primary and secondary sources
Plan – list, organise, outline or mindmap
Write a draft – take time to write a number of drafts,
with revisions, based on further reading and
reflection
Peer review – review by ‘critical friend’
Edit and proof read – formatting, spelling,
punctuation and references
Submit assessment
Adapted from (Stella Cottrell, 2003)
Helpful hints:
Write clearly and concisely:
•Try to avoid long, awkward sentences that risk
losing the interest of the reader;
•Avoid a showy display of ‘jargon’ to hide a poorly
structured assessment.
Understand the structure of paragraphs
•A paragraph tends to develop a single idea, a
series of which forms an essay.
Leave out needless words
•Try to avoid phrases such as ‘It can be seen at this
point of the enquiry that...’.
Include a reference list in all assessments

  • 13. gloscol.ac.uk How to be a successful* student at Gloucestershire College Our most successful students demonstrate these personality traits: They have ‘grit’: the most successful students have a determination and never give up on any task. They practice: the most successful students know that they must practice a lot to be ready for assessment. A boxer would say ‘train hard to fight easy’. They enjoy helping others: the most successful know that by helping others you help yourself. They finishing everything: the most successful students know that in order to attain the best outcome, everything must be finished. They experiment: and take risks. Sometimes these risks don’t work but that’s OK because… They learn from failure: the most successful learners take critical feedback and learn from it They are accountable for themselves: they take responsibility for their actions and do not apportion blame. They are honest: both with themselves and with others They present solutions: and not problems. They are critical of their own performance: they look back and say ‘what could I have done better’ They ask questions: and then ask more questions. They set high standards for themselves: and they care about achieving those standards. They reflect on their performance: they look back and ask ‘what went well?’ and ‘what did not go well?’ They make ‘To Do’ lists: and they track their performance. They present themselves and their work in a professional manner: because they understand the value of professionalism. *successful is not defined by ‘highest grade’ in this instance. It is people who have done well at college and gone on to be successful in their ‘life and career’.

  • 24. gloscol.ac.uk Assessment guidelines Accreditation of prior learning (APL) APL is recognition of achievement from a range of activities gained prior to enrolling on this programme. APL will only be possible where learning is shown to be appropriate to the outcomes of the relevant modules or awards and has been achieved through valid methods. Initial assessment The initial assessment process aims to gather information from a range of different sources to help you achieve your career goals and aspirations through successfully completing your programme. Assessment tasks Assessment tasks will emphasise active and reflective learning at level 4 on the FHEQ. You will be given clear and full information at the outset of the programme on the nature, timing and general criteria of assessment. Assessment submission Assessments are usually uploaded to the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) for the unit(s) that you are studying. Assessments can also be submitted by hand. If you are in any doubt about how to do either method, please ask the subject tutor in the first instance. All assessments will be due on a Friday at 15.30 unless specifically stated otherwise. Internal verification of assessment Standards and quality of assessment will be monitored by the appointed internal verifier for your programme according to the Gloucestershire College Internal Verification policy. This will ensure reliability, validity and authenticity. Feedback Feedback on your assessments will be written on the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Feedback should be timely, supportive and identify areas for improvement and progression. This is as an integral part of the assessment process. External examiner An external examiner, Greg Skarratt - Principal Standards Verifier for construction and civil engineering from Edexcel, will review a sample of marked assessments to ensure reliable, valid and fair assessment has been conducted. Exam board All assessment grades that have been internally awarded will be confirmed at the ‘Examination Board’ meetings. Assessment appeals The college has a full assessment appeals policy that can be viewed on the intranet.
  • 25. gloscol.ac.uk Assessment Extension Assessment Submission An Assessment Extension Request (AE) form must always be used when you have a situation that will prevent assessed coursework being presented at the stipulated date and time. These forms are available to complete online for each assessment. You need to complete the AE form prior to the assessment deadline. Students who are deemed to have abused the Assessment Extension Request process will lose this privilege and may have extensions refused. Gloucestershire College Policy is clear on assessment submission (POL 02 12.4), it states that: “All student assessments must be submitted by the deadlines specified on the published assessment schedule. Any assessments submitted after the deadline without an extension request (AE Form) will not be marked and the student will be deemed to have failed the assessment.” Your request will be presented to the Head of School who will consider your request provided that you have communicated in good time about the mitigating circumstance and in advance of hand-in date of the assessment . The following reasons are not considered to be mitigating circumstances: •Minor illness e.g. cold, headache, flu, sore throat unless severe and prolonged. A medical certificate will be required. •Transport problems •Computer problems e.g. loss of disk / virus •Time management •Other assessments taking priority •Work commitments •Holidays •Software issues
  • 26. gloscol.ac.uk Assessment Schedule A copy is also on display outside A209 Assessment submission dates are also on the VLE.
  • 27. gloscol.ac.uk Assessment Submission Guidance • All assessments must be completed and submitted within the submission window. This is the date and time shown on the VLE. • 'Uploading' is not the same as 'submitting'. You can upload a file at any time that can be edited. When you 'submit' you can no longer edit your submission. It is then your final submission that the assessor will grade. • If an extension is required then this must be requested before or during the submission window. Extension requests received after the submission window will only be considered if there are mitigating circumstances such as serious illness or hospitalisation. The student will be asked to provide evidence of these mitigating circumstances. • You must work independently on the assessment. • There is only one submission of evidence for each assessment. • Only a 'lead internal verifier' can authorise a resubmission of any assessment. Your tutor will tell you who this person is.
  • 28. gloscol.ac.uk • You do not have a right to a resubmission of the assessment. • You may be granted a resubmission opportunity as long as: – you have met initial deadlines, or met an agreed deadline extension. If you do not submit within the submission window then you will not be allowed an opportunity to resubmit – your tutor judges that you will be able to provide improved evidence without any further guidance. – the evidence has been authenticated by both yourself and your assessor. This means that the evidence that you have submitted has not been plagiarised. • Please upload one document, preferably in a PDF format, unless otherwise directed. • Please include a front sheet for all submissions. This should include your name, student number, the date, course details and unit details. An example of this was emailed to you at the beginning of the course. • All grades will be released at the same time. • Any resubmissions that have been granted must be completed and resubmitted within the new date set on the VLE. • You must resubmit the assessment in its entirety, not just the part that required resubmission. • It is your responsibility to check your grade and resubmission date. • If you wish to formally appeal an assessment decision then please notify your course leader.
  • 29. gloscol.ac.uk Presentation of assessed work • Assessed work must be presented to a professional level standard. This is true whether is submitted digitally or physically. • It must have a fully completed front sheet. • It must be legible. • Citations and images must be referenced. • Drawn diagrams must be clear and annotated. • Digital submissions must be in a format that is in common use. If in doubt, you must ask your lecturer before submission. • Any physical submission must be in an appropriately sized folder – not a plastic pocket. • Submissions in A3 size must be folded neatly and correctly. • Drawings must contain a completed title box.
  • 31. gloscol.ac.uk Plagiarism Cheating is a serious offence and takes many forms including:- •Plagiarism – passing off the work of someone else as if it is your own. •Collusion – working closely with someone else to produce an assignment that is meant to be the work of an individual. The College deals severely with students who cheat and penalties extend to suspension and withdrawal for a second, or particularly serious first attempt. In order to avoid an allegation of cheating make sure that you follow the guidance you will have been given on conventions for referencing and for use of quotations. If you are in any doubt, check with your tutors who will be happy to advise you. Any student suspected of cheating (i.e. deceiving intentionally to gain unfair advantage, for example through the use of non-permitted materials in examinations or copying another students work and attempting to present it as one’s own), or plagiarism (i.e. using ideas, work or words of another person/s as if they were one’s own without giving credit to the source using the approved method of citation), may have their case presented to a Disciplinary Panel. Be sure that any phrases, sentences (even part sentences) that appear in your assessments are either your words or if the words of others that they are referenced appropriately. Failure to do so could be construed as plagiarism with serious consequences. Students should be aware of the seriousness of these acts, and the vigilance with which the college endeavours to enforce the Assessment Submission Policy. ‘Turnitin’ is plagiarism detection software that will be used to check submissions.
  • 32. gloscol.ac.uk Essentials for Higher Education Study Studying requires a great deal of effort on your part and the time you spend in reading, researching and producing assessments will be much greater than the time spent in teaching sessions. Here are a few essentials for effective study: Manage your time It is very important to organise and plan your assignments so that you don’t leave everything to the last minute. Use your college diary, VLE calendar and time between lessons to study as this is not meant to be recreational time. Regard all lessons as essential You will be given information that is vital if you are to correctly complete assessments. Do not regard attendance as optional, if you do this you are on the road to failure. Embrace Harvard Referencing This is a professional expectation that all sources are referenced correctly. Practise critical analysis You need to be able to evaluate different types of evidence, based on an understanding of how your data has been collected, interpreted and presented. Exam skills Exam skills need to be developed if you are to progress to a third year at university. Utilise the VLE The VLE is used to support your learning experience and communicate with you. It is essential in developing you as an independent and interdependent learner. Before submission of an assessment please ensure you have done the following: •number pages and tasks and include a front page. •Add a contents page where appropriate. •Put your student number on each page; •all assessments must be word processed unless stated otherwise in the assessment brief using Arial font point 12, with double line spacing; •Any citations must be referenced using the Harvard style and include a bibliography. •check you have not plagiarised.
  • 33. gloscol.ac.uk Academic Writing The process of academic writing Research – primary and secondary sources Plan – list, organise, outline or mindmap Write a draft – take time to write a number of drafts, with revisions, based on further reading and reflection Peer review – review by ‘critical friend’ Edit and proof read – formatting, spelling, punctuation and references Submit assessment Adapted from (Stella Cottrell, 2003) Helpful hints: Write clearly and concisely: •Try to avoid long, awkward sentences that risk losing the interest of the reader; •Avoid a showy display of ‘jargon’ to hide a poorly structured assessment. Understand the structure of paragraphs •A paragraph tends to develop a single idea, a series of which forms an essay. Leave out needless words •Try to avoid phrases such as ‘It can be seen at this point of the enquiry that...’. Include a reference list in all assessments
  • 35. gloscol.ac.uk Glossary of Terms Analyse - Study in depth, identifying and deciding the detail in main characteristics Appraise – consider positive and negative points and give reasoned judgement Assess – Make judgement on the importance of something – similar to evaluate Compare – look for qualities or characteristics that resemble each other.
