3. Module Description

 

This module will explore the importance of compassion within health and social care services, considering the importance of support for vulnerable people. The module will allow you to evaluate the factors which make a person vulnerable. You will consider issues associated with risk both within services and wider society. You will then examine the importance of positive practice, with an in-depth knowledge of the legislation, aimed at protecting individuals, their families and carer/s.

 

The importance of compassion, dignity and respect will be linked with a critical examination of health and social care services, including the importance of societal perceptions.

 

Bolton Values and Employability Skills will be included in this module, they are based on the development of employability skills, with particular emphasis on the following: (D= Developed, T= Taught, A = Assessed) PDP: D, Communication Skills: T,A,D Organisation & Planning: A, Problem Solving: T,A,D, Flexibility & adaptability: T,A,D, Self Awareness: T,A,D, Initiative: D, Personal Impact: D, Internationalisation: T,A,D, Environmental Sustainability D, Social, public and ethical responsibility: T,A,D.

4. Learning and Teaching

 

This module is delivered using on Campus blended approach over 15 weeks. Most sessions comprise lecture and a workshop activity or activities. If you are unable to attend a session due to factors outside your control, you are expected to inform your tutor and engage in this, where possible, before the next scheduled session. This is aimed at enabling you to develop a clear understanding, considering how the theory and academic knowledge will link into health and social care practice.

 

Note: Sessions recorded on the cloud will be deleted after a year unless settings allow otherwise.

 

In weeks 10 – 15 tutorials will take place which will provide you with the opportunity to discuss your progress on the module and receive feedback on assessments. To complete the module successfully you must allocate a substantial amount of independent study time, which will include undertaking set activities and carrying out assessment activities. Academic skills development will be embedded within the modules, with the inclusion of study skills appropriate to the stage of study.

 

This module is delivered via one three-hour lecture per week over 15 weeks. To complete the module successfully you must also allocate a substantial amount of independent study time. The timetable will include tutorials (group and individual) in which you can discuss your progress on the module with your Module Tutor. Revision/ practice sessions are scheduled before submission of assessment.

 

5. Graduate Attributes

 

Graduate attributes are the personal qualities and skills which the University of Bolton community values, and which a student is expected develop during their time at the University.

In total there are 10 graduate attributes (GAME). This module seeks to support the development of:

  • Self-awareness,
  • global citizenship (includes sustainability)

8. Assessment Feedback

 

Feedback on items of assessment can be formal (such as on a signed feedback form) or informal (such as advice from a tutor in an online tutorial). Feedback is therefore not just your grade, or the comments written on your feedback form, it is advice you get from your tutor and sometimes your peers about how your work is progressing, how well you have done, what further actions you might take.

We recognise the value of prompt feedback on work submitted. Other than in exceptional circumstances (such as might be caused by staff illness), you can expect your assignment and examination work to be marked and feedback provided not more than 15 working days from the deadline date. However, please note that such feedback will be provisional and unconfirmed until the Assessment Board has met and may therefore be subject to change.

 

Please take time you read or listen to your assessment feedback. This can be very useful in determining your strengths and key areas for development and can therefore help you improve on future grades.

Formative assessment is employed to support your learning on the module, allowing you to reflect on feedback on your progress from your tutors and peers. It takes a variety of forms including group work, workshops and review of essay plans/ drafts and does not contribute to the final module mark.

 

You will have an individual tutorial enabling you to gain advice, support and feedback on your academic abilities and assist the module tutor to plan future sessions and support

12. Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of Written Assessments

  1. Written assessments should be word-processed in Arial or Calibri Light font size 12. There should be double-spacing and each page should be numbered.

 

  1. There should be a title page identifying the programme name, module title, assessment title, your student number, your marking tutor and the date of submission.

 

  1. You should include a word-count at the end of the assessment (excluding references, figures, tables and appendices).

Where a word limit is specified, the following penalty systems applies:

  • Up to 10% over the specified word length = no penalty
  • 10 – 20% over the specified indicative word length = 5 marks subtracted (but if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assessment).
  • More than 20% over the indicative word length = if the assessment would normally gain a pass mark or more, then the final mark will capped at the pass mark for the assessment.

 

  1. All written work should be referenced using the standard University of Bolton referencing style– see: https://libguides.bolton.ac.uk/resources/referencing/

 

  1. Unless otherwise notified by your Module Tutor, electronic copies of assignments should be saved as word documents and uploaded into Turnitin via the Moodle class area. If you experience problems in uploading your work, then you must send an electronic copy of your assessment to your Module Tutor via email BEFORE the due date/time.

 

  1. Please note that when you submit your work to Moodle, it will automatically be checked for matches against other electronic information. The individual percentage text matches may be used as evidence in an academic misconduct investigation (see Section 13).

 

  1. Late work

 

Late work will be subject to the penalties:

  • Up to 7 calendar days late = 10 marks subtracted but if the assignment would normally gain a pass mark, then the final mark to be no lower than the pass mark for the assignment.
  • More than 7 calendar days late = This will be counted as non-submission and no marks will be recorded.

 

Late submission of assessments on refer and those which are graded Pass/Fail only, is not permitted. Students may request an extension to the original published deadline date as described below.

 

  1. Extensions

 

In the case of exceptional and unforeseen circumstances, an extension of up to 14 days after the assessment deadline may be requested using the standard University Extension Request Form. For approval there would need to be an explanation and evidence of relevant circumstances. Longer extensions for individual projects and artefacts may be granted, at the discretion of the Programme Leader/ Academic Support Officer (ASO).

 

Requests for extensions which take a submission date past the end of the module (normally week 15) must be made using the Mitigating Circumstances procedure.

 

Some students with registered disabilities will be eligible for revised submission deadlines. Revised submission deadlines for disability adjustments do not require the completion extension request paperwork. However, students should request these in writing in advance.

 

Please note that the failure of data storage systems is not considered to be a valid reason for an extension. It is therefore important that you keep multiple copies of your work on different storage devices before submitting it.

13.          Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct may be defined as any attempt by a student to gain an unfair advantage in any assessment. This includes plagiarism, collusion, commissioning (contract cheating) amongst other offences. To avoid these types of academic misconduct, you should ensure that all your work is your own and that sources are attributed using the correct referencing techniques. You can also check originality through Turnitin.

 

Please note that penalties apply if academic misconduct is proven. See the following link for further details: https://www.bolton.ac.uk/student-policy-zone/student-policies-2023-24/academic-misconduct-regulations-and-procedures-23-24
