  6. Building in draft assessment • a proactive rather than reactive approach • use as a carrot not a stick – build in marks for the draft (e.g. 10%) • the students need to engage with the feedback • “Formative assessment checks their growth and sees that it is on track” (Biggs,2007)

  20. Turnitin report 1 If this is referenced, the work is highly derivative and the will be marked down for lack of originality. If no references exists, the student is guilty of plagiarism You should aim for matches of 1% or less and an overall total of less than 10%
