Guidelines on Assessment and Collaboration for Individual Assessments
Henley Business places a value on collaboration between programme members in the learning process. Programme members may provide support and encouragement to each other and, in addition, the sharing and discussion of ideas promotes learning and development. At the same time, it is important to be clear about the expectations and boundaries for collaboration within the assessment process.
There are two basic types of assessment on the Henley qualification Programmes, although not all programmes will include both types. These are group assessments and individual assessments - the latter are the most common type given that the Henley Diploma and MBA are individual awards.
Where programme members are asked to complete a group assessment, such as a report or presentation, it is expected that the members of group will actively work together in all aspects of the preparation and production of the output for assessment. Furthermore the grade for the assessment will typically be awarded equally to each and every member of the group.
In all other cases, it is expected that the work that is assessed will represent the work of the individual programme member. Programme members must provide a declaration on their assignment, project or dissertation submission forms that the work is their own. Where a programme member incorporates the ideas or writing of another author or programme member in their own work, from whatever source whether or not publishes and including electronic sources such as the Internet, the source must be acknowledged. This is also the case where organisational documentation is used. It is essential that all sources and references must be attributed.
Where programme members from the same organisation or learning team for example, share ideas and source documents, it is expected that each programme member will develop their own way of interpreting and expressing their knowledge and understanding within the assessed work. In practice this means that whilst common data and documentation may be used, the analysis, conclusions and the recommendations drawn from these data and other sources must be those of the individual programme member.
Accordingly, when reading an individual’s work, the School must be clear that it is the work of the individual programme member, and of that programme member alone. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in disciplinary procedures being instigated by the School.
