ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 3 1 Introduction and First Day Information
This handbook is for students taking units delivered by the School of Nursing and Midwifery. It is designed to give general information relevant to all learning beyond registration(LBR) units and programmes.
If you have any queries please contact the person who is to be your unit leader (See the unit handbook for this) or contact your Subject Group Leader (See appendix 1).
1.1 Availability of Modules Most students attending units taught by the School of Nursing and Midwifery will have been authorised by their managers/LBR leads and funded by NHS Yorkshire and the Humber. A list of the units available is provided in the Our Courses brochure available from the Programme Coordinators. The availability of these units will change from one academic year to another. Please see www.sheffield.ac.uk/snm and click on prospective undergraduate/postgraduate students depending upon your intended level of study for current units.
You may only take the units that have been purchased for you. Each unit is purchased individually, and you must take the units purchased for you on the dates and level at which they have been purchased. (The only exception is if a level 5 (Degree level) module has been purchased for you and you do not have sufficient level 6 credit to allow you to take it).
Units may be self-funded if places are available. A brochure outlining those offered is available from the General Office at Barber House Annexe. You would need to contact the Admissions Department for information about availability and fees.
Please ensure before you apply that there are no regulations for your programme that could prevent you accessing a particular unit. Some units may require that you have undertaken and had the ratified results of other units prior to commencement.
If you successfully complete sufficient units you will obtain a Diploma or a Degree: BMedSci (Hons) /MMedSci award.
Undergraduate Students: 120 credits at level 5 are required for the award of a diploma and 120 credits at both level 5 and 6 are required for a honours degree (240 in total).
Postgraduate students 60 level 7 credits are required for the award of a postgraduate certificate 120 level 7 credits are required for the award of a postgraduate diploma 180 level 7 credits are required for the award of MMedSci
Each certificate, diploma or degree has its own programme code as identified in appendix 2. You will be registered against one of these codes even if you only attend one module. If you wish to complete the degree the specific regulations may apply and these can be found on the University web site: http://www.shef.ac.uk/govern/calendar/regshtml/regs.html under the heading “Nursing and Midwifery undergraduate”. Here you will find the units it is necessary to complete, the regulations governing the programme including time limits and the rules regarding APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning).
The specifications for individual programmes can be found on the university website: www.shef.ac.uk/govern/calendar/progspec/nur.html
To attain a Diploma, B Med Sci (Hons) or MMedSci on a part time basis you must complete the programme of study within 5 years of the start date. The start date is the date of registration of the first unit you undertook
1.2 Attendance for Professional Interest/Development Attendance for professional development is no longer permitted. You must undertake the assessment for each unit you are registered on otherwise a fail to submit/attend will be awarded and this may have implications for further study
1.3 Attendance Requirement For all units on Learning beyond registration programmes (excluding dissertation and distance learning units) there is an 80% attendance requirement at taught sessions. Please contact your unit leader if you have not been able to attend sessions as you may be unable to submit your work for assessment, be ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 4 awarded a 0 grade for submitted work or have credit withheld for failing to engage appropriately with the programme. It is important that you attend taught sessions as the content delivered is required to enable you to meet the learning outcomes in the assessment of theory/practice.
2 General information for new students
2.1 Start times The start time of your programme and subsequent days unless otherwise negotiated is generally 0930 hours. Taught sessions aim to finish by 1530 hours in order to provide students with the opportunity to access library facilities.
2.2 Car Parking Car parking is available on the both the Royal Hallamshire and Northern General Hospitals sites as pay and display. There is also pay and display parking at the Francis Newton further up for Barber House but there are time limits on this
2.3 Smoking The buildings in the University are designated no smoking areas.
2.4 Health and Safety Code of Practice The University is committed to provide as required by law a safe environment whilst you are a student on its premises. The code of practice booklet can be found at http://www.shef.ac.uk/safety/codes and this outlines your responsibilities regarding Health and Safety whilst you are on the course therefore you should take time to read this booklet.
2.5 Safety/Attendance Register When attending taught study days, all course members must sign the register which will be brought into class by the Lecturer. This register is used to check who is on site in case of fire and other emergencies, as well as for attendance monitoring and reporting.
2.6 Notice Board New information about your course will be displayed on the student notice-board from time to time. It is your responsibility to check it regularly for new information.
2.7 Fire Procedure The assembly point will depend on the site. Please ensure you are aware of this on your first day. Information on what you should do in case of fire is contained in the University's Health and Safety Code of Practice booklet.
2.8 Fire Lectures It is the individual course member's responsibility to be aware of fire policy and attend relevant fire lectures whilst on their clinical placements.
2.9 In case of sickness If you are ill during study time you need to inform the programme coordinator for the programme you are registered on (Please see appendix 2). If sickness occurs during clinical time you must inform the clinical area as well as the relevant programme co-ordinator.
2.10 Leave of Absence Details of Leave of Absence procedures can be found at: www.shef.ac.uk/ssid/record/leave.html.The generally accepted position is that leave for up to one year may be granted for genuine personal, family, medical or financial reasons. Please be aware that the award must still be completed within the required time frame. If you require a leave of absence please submit a request form as in appendix 4 outlining the reasons and length of time required to Mrs Tracey Pacan, the assessments officer, who will present it for consideration by the pre-assessment board. You should not arrange this with any other individual within the school as this will not be valid.
2.11 Opting-Out of study sessions If you wish to opt out of a particular session you will need to demonstrate that you have already met the learning outcomes for that session. This must be done by prior negotiation at least one week before the session with the relevant unit leader. Negotiation slips, available from the relevant Programme Coordinator as identified in appendix 2, are to be used to negotiate out of sessions. ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 5 Any course member who does not attend the study sessions without prior negotiation, or who has not informed the programme coordinator or the lecturer, will be regarded as being absent. The School of Nursing and Midwifery may be required to give information regarding course attendance to the NHS Yorkshire and the Humber/East Midlands which purchase courses on behalf of NHS Trusts.
2.12 Unit evaluation Whilst you are a student, you will have opportunities to evaluate the quality of your programme of study and its individual units. Student evaluation is an essential part of assuring the quality of departments’ provision and provides us with essential feedback on your experiences of your programmes of study.
All programme evaluation is subject to university policy. Course evaluation is conducted formally at the end of each unit. Evaluations are collected to form part of a report that is submitted to the Board of Studies which meets annually and make recommendations based on the findings. The following issues are usually addressed:
The overall coherence and content of your programme; Tutorial support; Assessment deadlines and feedback; Appropriateness of the teaching methods; Availability and suitability of learning resources.
We will endeavour to provide you with feedback on the issues that students have raised through the evaluation process and how we are addressing these. It is important that we receive a good response rate to student evaluations, as your feedback is an essential part of helping us to maintain the quality of teaching and learning provision, and may benefit you and future students. Quality reviews of departments’ teaching and learning consistently demonstrate ways in which student feedback often does lead to changes being made to units and programmes.
You may wish to nominate a representative to discuss outstanding issues at a Board of Studies (See 2.24)
2.13 Library facilities The University has a comprehensive range of library facilities. Details can be obtained by consulting the university web site at http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/library/
2.14 Ucards As part of your registration with the University you will receive a UCard from the University which will enable you to access the University's libraries, computing facilities and also to benefit from student discounts. These are not normally posted to you but are collected from the relevant programme coordinator. There is a replacement charge if you lose your UCard, which currently stands at £5.00.
Your Ucard can be obtained in one of two ways:
a) you may complete a form that will be sent at the time you are offered a place on a programme. In this case your UCard will be sent to you directly.
b) you may pick up the UCard yourself from Corporate Information and Computing Services (CICS) at Hounsfield Road, once you have been registered. In this case please contact CICS first on 0114 222 1111 to check that your card is ready.
If you are fully registered and do not have a UCard, or your UCard has expired, you can obtain one from the Student Services Information Desk in the Students' Union. You will need your registration number and some identification e.g. your expired UCard.
If you are considering taking further units in the Diploma, B Med Sci or MMedSci pathways, please keep your UCard.
Please ensure you are in receipt of a UCard as soon as possible as not having one does NOT automatically entitle you to an extension on assessment submission.
2.15 Computer Facilities and CICS Packs As part of your registration the University provides you with a computer account which gives access to computing facilities, library services and student information.
ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 6 If CICS judge that you are a new student with the University, they will issue you with a CICS pack early in your first unit. This gives you a username, a password, and a brief guide to logging on to your account and to some of the services available.
Your account and CICS Pack needs to be kept current and you should keep them safe until you have finished your programme. If you lose your account details, or if CICS have not sent you a pack, you will need to go to the CICS Centre in Hounsfield Road with your UCard to arrange a new account. Alternatively you can ring extension 21111 (0114 222 1111) to try and arrange a new account.
2.16 IT Support The University does not provide individual tuition for IT. There is a pack available giving some guidance - please ask the leader of your unit.
2.17 Students General Handbook Copies are available from the Union Buildings. This contains useful information regarding resources available for disabled students, financial support and other helpful sources.
2.18 Canteen/Refreshment Facilities A student kitchen can be found in the basement of Barber House.

Student counselling services are available and details of this can be found at: www.sheffield.ac.uk/counselling/students However, it should be noted that students able to access such services through their employer are not normally eligible for university services.
2.21 Change of Address If you change your address or your next of kin, you are expected as a University student to change these details yourself on your personal record using your computer account and password. Go to http://Sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/ However, if you do not wish to do this, you can obtain an amendment form from your programme coordinator who will send the form off for you.
Please remember that it is not the teachers' responsibility to deal with any changes in students' personal details.
As your programme may last several months or years, it is imperative that you update your personal details or important correspondence may not reach you.
2.22 Change of Name If you change your name during the course, you will need to provide a copy of relevant documentation, e.g. ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 7 a marriage certificate, to change your record.
2.23 Personal Development Plan On completion of a programme of study (i.e. diploma, B Med Sci or MMedSci) you will be offered the opportunity of completing a Personal Development Plan (PDP) with your personal tutor. This provides you with the chance to discuss career choices and the most fitting academic profile.
When your programme of study is ratified by the Board of Examiners a letter will be automatically generated and sent to you explaining the action you need to take if you want to complete a PDP.
Please note that if you want to undertake a PDP prior to this time then please discuss this with your Personal Lecturer.
2.24 Student representation The University places great value on the opinions of its students and there are numerous opportunities for you to get involved at both departmental and faculty level, here you can have your say and also to represent the views of other students. These opportunities are supplemented by a range of surveys and evaluations which you will be invited to participate in.
In particular you are directed to the following website that will enable you to make comment on issues that will contribute to discussion at the Staff Student Committee or the Board of Studies. http://uspace.shef.ac.uk/clearspace/community/mdh/snm/students/part-time_students

Mobile phones and computers must not be used to record lectures.
3 Assessment
Note that all students seeking academic credit are registered against a Certificate, Diploma or Degree programme. You have five years to complete a full degree programme. Post graduate certificates and diplomas are 2 years each when registered on a part-time basis. The start date is the date you register for your first unit. If you are unsure about this please contact your programme leader/ coordinator.
Each unit of the programme will be formally assessed. Each unit is assessed individually; please see the individual unit handbook for information on this. Students must be successful in the assessment, whether theoretical, clinical or OSCE, to be awarded a pass for the unit.
All students are permitted two attempts at any summative assessment. Please note that all second attempts can only be awarded a maximum of 40 for undergraduate programme and 50 for postgraduate programmes using the marking scales in appendix 5. However, feedback sheets will provide the grade that it would have ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 8 been awarded as well as the capped grade along with information and advice on your academic progress.
3.1 Tutorial Support All students will be provided with the name of a tutor for the unit they are undertaking. The named tutor will be responsible for providing your tutorial support for that unit. If they are not available for periods of 5 days or more e.g. due to annual leave, then they will provide you with the name of a designated tutor to cover your support in their absence.
Please see the guidance in Appendix 9 regarding the provision of support and feedback.
"Please note that correspondence by email between yourself and any member of staff at the university will be via your university email account and not your home/work email address".
3.2 Assessment Calendar A copy of the current assessment calendar is available on the student notice board so that you can see the dates of moderation and publication of results for all assessed work.
3.3 Format of Assignments When you hand in your assignment, you need to use a specific format (see Appendix 3). The programme codes are given at the back of this handbook (see Appendix 2) and the unit code is available from your module handbook. Your assignment should have a soft cover, not a ring binder or any other hard cover. Individual pages should not be in plastic covers or wallets. Work submitted in ring binders that would fit into a soft cover will not be accepted by programme coordinators.
Please ensure that your assignments are complete before submission i.e. all pages are numbered and none are missing, reference list is included etc. University policy dictates that students will not be contacted if work is submitted incomplete but that it will be marked as seen/submitted.
Please note that you are required to use the Harvard referencing system for your assignments. Guidelines for this can be found in appendix 6. Guidelines for the citing of electronic journals can be found in Appendix 7.
3.4 Anonymous Marking It is University policy that assignments are marked anonymously, if this is appropriate. Please therefore ensure that the front page of your assignment does not include your name or personal tutor’s name. Use only your Registration number to identify yourself.
3.5 Submitting Work All summative work should be submitted in hard copy as above. An electronic copy MUST also be included in the form of a disc/memory stick. This should be identified with your name, registration number, assignment title, module number and date of submission. If an electronic copy of the assignment is not submitted you will be contacted and your work not processed or result published until the electronic copy is received.
3.6 Handing in course work All course work should be handed in on or before the submission date to the relevant programme secretary as identified in Appendix 2 at Barber House, 387 Glossop Road, Sheffield, S10 2HQ. Please ensure you obtain a receipt for your work. It is advisable for you to retain a copy of course work. All work should include your Student Registration Number (See Appendix 3 for an example of the assignment title page). Office hours are 0900 – 1700 and submissions will only be accepted between 0900 and 1500. Submission may be made by post as long as the postmark is dated no later than the date of submission. You are advised to use recorded delivery if you are submitting in this way. A receipt will be sent to you by post or confirmatory email. You can also submit work via a drop box located in the student social space in Barber House. You should complete and attach a receipt for coursework form and deposit this along with the work. The box will be emptied at 1500hrs on the date of submission and any work deposited after this time will be marked as a fail to submit. The work will be retained and marked as a second attempt and awarded a capped grade relevant to the level of study.
COURSEWORK SHOULD BE HANDED IN BY 1500HRS ON THE DATE OF SUBMISSION.
3.7 Confidentiality Individuals and institutions should not be named in assignments, neither should data be collected from ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 9 patients, relatives or staff for assignments unless it is a requirement of the unit and appropriate approval has been granted.
Information that is not in the public domain, that identifies individuals or institutions or that is subject to copyright should not be included in appendices. Should this occur the work will be returned to the student and will require resubmitting with the identified information removed within seven days.
3.8 Extensions If any student feels they have circumstances preventing them from completing assessed work and feel they need an extension, they should formally request this in writing using the request form in appendix 4. This should be sent to the assessments officer, Mrs Tracey Pacan, no later than 1 week before the submission date of the assessment. This will be considered by the pre-assessment board who will inform you of the outcome. Requests should not be submitted to any other member of support staff or academic staff, or arrangements made outside of this board as these would not be valid. In addition verbal agreements should not be made between students and lecturers as these would not be regarded as valid by the examinations board.
Please note:
The following are not normally considered as mitigating circumstances: Work related issues Annual Leave Concurrent assessments Non-receipt of UCard Computer problems. You are advised to: o Back up work on disc o Email your assignment/work to your university account so that you can pick work up on the university system
PLEASE NOTE THAT EXTENSIONS MUST BE APPLIED FOR IN WRITING AND YOU SHOULD ENSURE YOU HAVE WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF THE NEW SUBMISSION DATE OTHERWISE A FAIL TO SUBMIT WILL BE MARKED ON YOUR RECORDS.
3.9 University Marking Strategy Assignments are initially marked by a member of the module teaching team using the marking criteria and feedback sheet as found in Appendix 5. All fails and borderline assignments are then internally moderated along with a 20% sample of the remaining work. A similar sample is then sent to an external examiner whose role it is to comment on the quality of both the work and the marking. All ratified results are then published approximately 6-8 weeks after the submission date.
Further clarification on this issue is contained within the University of Sheffield Ordinances and Regulations relating to programmes of study in all Faculties.
3.10 Notification of results Assignment results will be published once per month by the assessments office located at the School of Nursing and Midwifery. The dates of publication will be in your unit handbook. To ensure anonymity, registration numbers instead of names are used to identify students on results lists.
Results are displayed on the notice board on the ground floor of the Barber House annexe after 1100 on Mondays. Results will also be published on the University website on Mondays after 1300. On bank holidays results will be published on the following working day.
3.11 How to access results
Go to the ‘myResults’ website at http://www.shef.ac.uk/ssid/exams/results Click on ‘myResults’on the right hand side of that page Log in to the page with your University username and password to access your results.
3.12 Failure to meet the required standard
The pass mark for undergraduate programmes is 40 on the 100 point scale The pass mark for postgraduate programmes is 50 on the 100 point scale.
ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 10 The marking criteria for these levels can be found in appendix 5
3.12a Failure at 1st attempt Students will receive correspondence from the School outlining their progress to date, and implications on their programme, if they are unsuccessful at a 1st attempt. A report of the student’s progress will also be sent to the Faculty., and the student will receive correspondence from Faculty in relation to receiving this report.
Students are advised to seek further tutorial support and may be offered a learning contract to facilitate their further development and achievement, and a new submission/examination date will be set by the Board of Examiners.
3.12b Failure at 2nd attempt Students will receive correspondence from the School advising them that they have exhausted all opportunities at that assignment/examination, and are therefore ineligible to receive an academic award for the programme of study they are currently registered for.
3.12c Failure to Attend/ Failure to Submit If you cannot attend a unit (see attendance requirements) for which you have been registered, you should withdraw from the unit and confirm this in writing (Please see 3.19). If you do not do this, your two attempts at the assessment will be published as “Fail to Submit” and you will then be deemed to have failed your programme of study. This can affect future study at the University of Sheffield.
Failure to attend or submit work will be notified to NHS South Yorkshire and Humber/East Midlands, if appropriate, and they may wish to take further action.
3.13 Right of Appeal Following notification of the decision of the Committee, you have 14 days in which to appeal against this, if you so wish. This will involve a complete re-hearing of the case by the Appeals Committee of the Senate.
3.14 Appeals procedure Details for appeals are available at Student Services or via their web page at http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid
3.15 Plagiarism and collusion (use of unfair means) Plagiarism is passing off others’ work as your own, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to your benefit. The work can include ideas, compositions, designs, images, computer code, and, of course, words. This list is not exhaustive. The benefit accrued could be, for example, an examination grade or the award of a research degree.
Collusion is a form of plagiarism where two or more people work together to produce a piece of work all or part of which is then submitted by each of them as their own individual work.
Both plagiarism and collusion are strictly forbidden. Students are warned that the piece of work affected may be given a grade of zero, which in some cases will entail failure in the examination/assignment for the relevant unit or degree. The student may also be referred to the University Discipline Committee. Submitted material must be a candidate’s own original work. Where other material is used, the candidate shall state the source(s) from which the information is derived and the extent to which the candidate has made use of the work of others. Work submitted on disc/electronically may be screened by the “turnitin” system used by the University to detect if plagiarism may have occurred. Work submitted is identified only by the student registration number and unit code. If it is identified that plagiarism may have occurred the work may be awarded a fail grade and the student will be required to attend for a formal review of progress. For further details regarding the regulations related to the progress of students please refer to www.shef.ac.uk/ssid/procedures/appendixv.html
For further information on the use of unfair means please see: www.sheffield.ac.uk/lets/design/unfair
3.15a Self-Plagiarism You cannot submit the same or a similar piece of work of your own to obtain more than one grade on different units.
3.15b Plagiarism work package You are advised to complete the plagiarism work package that is designed to help you use literature appropriately in academic work and avoid plagiarism occurring. This can be found at: www.sheffield.ac.uk/snm/current/ Under Information for undergraduate CPD students.
ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 11 3.16 Exceeding the word limit Please make yourself aware of the word limit for assessed coursework. Work that is submitted with the numbers of words falling outside the set boundaries (eg 4500 – 5000 words) or outside the +/- 10% parameter of a stated wordage (eg 3500 words) will automatically receive a 0 grade on the marking scale even if the work is of a pass standard. Please ensure you state the word limit on the front cover of the assignment as identified in appendix 3.
The word count includes the first to last words of the text including direct quotes and references. The word count does not include reference lists and annexes/appendices.
3.17 Return of Assignments Please note the following.
Students are expected to collect their own work any time after the date of publication . At this point they will be supplied with their assignment and the mark sheet that will identify the grade, the feedback and the names/signatures of the marker/moderator- if students wish to have their assignments posted back to them, they should include a STAMPED ADDRESSED A4 ENVELOPE WITH POSTAGE suitable for at least 100g weight with any work submitted. If the postage is insufficient, only part of the assignment will be posted back e.g. covers will be discarded. Work that is not collected or paid to be posted back will be disposed of six months after the end of the course. Assignments should always be handed in with soft covers. Please note that hard covers e.g. ring binders or lever arch files will not be posted back unless the postage is enough to cover this. Assignment pages should not be put in individual plastic document wallets or inserts. Students should always keep a copy of their work.
Portfolios
Portfolios must be collected and will not normally be posted back. Portfolios that are not collected will be disposed of six months after the end of the course. Original certificates or important documents should not be included in the portfolio, only photocopies.
3.18 Feedback
You will be provided with formative feedback on drafts as per the guidance in appendix 9
You should expect to receive summative written feedback on all non-invigilated course work any time after the date of publication as stated on the assessment calendar. If you would like additional feedback from the marker it is your responsibility to organise a meeting for this with the marker. Feedback should explain why you have received a particular grade, the strengths and weaknesses of the work and note on how the work could be improved. You should use this information to improve your performance in subsequent assessments.
If your assessment was an invigilated examination you can request to see your paper with your personal teacher present who will give you verbal feedback on performance; this should be followed up by written feedback. You should utilise this feedback to improve your performance at subsequent examinations.
3.19 Withdrawal from a unit/programme If you wish to withdraw from a unit or programme you are advised to:
Check this is satisfactory with your Trust LBR lead Writing to the Programme Coordinator stating that you are withdrawing and where possible state the unit/programme codes and/or titles.
You are advised that failure to submit an assignment or writing to say that the assignment will not be submitted is NOT acceptable as a substitute for notification of withdrawal.
4 Degree Classification
Undergraduate Programmes
Students undertaking the Degree programme will receive an overall classification. The grades awarded for all coursework apart from those identified in the non-medical prescribing handbook contribute to the classification of your degree.
ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 12 The procedures for determining classification can be found at: www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssd/sas/guides/examination/classification.html
Some BMedSci programmes, particularly those that do not have a level two component, will have classifications calculated using the mean score of level three work.
For a honours degree you will need 120 credits at level 5 and 120 credits at level 6. The level 6 credits must all have been achieved at the University of Sheffield (With APEL permitted as per regulations).
In some case a non honours degree may be awarded if you achieve 120 credits at level 5 and 60 credits at level 6 all credit must have been achieved at the University of Sheffield. (With APEL permitted as per regulations).
Work submitted for AP(E)L is not given a mark and will therefore not contribute to the overall classification.
Post Graduate Programmes
The Examiners may in their discretion recommend the award of a mark of distinction or merit to a candidate for a Master’s degree, such that
a) A candidate who obtains a weighted mean grade of not less than 69.5 in the Examination as a whole and a grade of not less than 69.5 in units to the value of not less than 90 credits, including the dissertation, may be recommended for the award of the Degree with distinction; and b) A candidate who obtains a weighted mean grade of not less than 59.5 in the Examination as a who and a grade of not less than 59.5 in units to the value of not less than 90 credits, including the dissertation, may be recommended for the award of the Degree with merit. 5 Special Circumstances
If you feel that you have had medical or personal circumstances that may have affected performance in examinations or assessments you should download the "special circumstances" form to be found at www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/forms/special.html and complete this after reading the explanatory notes. .
The completed form should then be handed to the assessments officer, Mrs Tracey Pacan no later than 2 weeks before the examinations board at which your work is to be considered. 6 Receiving your Diploma/Degree Certificates
If you complete sufficient modules, you will receive a University Diploma/Degree.
After your Diploma/Degree results have been finally ratified, your details are sent to the University's Ceremonies Office and progession to the conferment of your award is no longer within the remit of the School of Nursing and Midwifery.
The Ceremonies Office use the address they have on the University's central computer to contact you before the conferment ceremony. They will write to you giving you the option of either attending the ceremony or receiving your certificate through the post. The ceremony takes place only once a year, so it may be a substantial period of time after handing in your last piece of work before you hear anything.
It is therefore ESSENTIAL to ensure that we have your correct address. This must also be an address that will be safe to receive post for many months after you complete your course. If you think you might move, it might be a good idea to give the University a relative's or friend's address rather than your current address after your course is finished.
If you wish to ring the Ceremonies Office, the Student Enquires number is (0114) 222 8893.
7 The Sheffield Graduate Award (Undergraduate students only)
The Sheffield Graduate Award recognises valuable skills and experience gained at university outside your degree course.
This prestigious award is open to all students, bringing an extra dimension to your qualifications when you ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 13 graduate, enriching your personal development and substantially boosting your career prospects.
By giving you valuable and sometimes challenging experience in areas including enterprise, work experience, community volunteering and international relations, it proves that you are not only academically competent, but someone whose mature, outward looking and positive outlook will be a real asset to any organisation.
One of the University’s most important objectives is to encourage in our students a commitment to personal growth, self - improvement, enterprise and life skills development – contributing to the distinctive qualities of the typical Sheffield graduate. The Sheffield Graduate Award is a great way to prove that you too are a distinctive Sheffield-graduate.
Taking part in The Sheffield Graduate Award could turn out to be an important step towards a successful and fulfilling future. It may even inspire the career direction you eventually choose.
For further information please go to www.sheffield.ac.uk/the sheffieldgraduateaward/
8 The Sheffield Graduate Attributes (Undergraduate students only)
By the time they graduate our students will have gained an impressive range of knowledge and skills, obtained through their studies and by the additional activities they undertake whilst at the University. We want these achievements to be clear to all, so we have identified 'The Sheffield Graduate' attributes. We aim to enable all of our graduates to demonstrate that they are:
knowledgeable in their subject a skilled and ethical researcher a critical, analytical and creative thinker an entrepreneurial problem solver information literate skilled in the use of IT an efficient planner and time manager a flexible team worker an accomplished communicator an independent learner an active citizen who respects diversity culturally agile and able to work in multinational settings professional and adaptable well rounded, reflective, self aware and self motivated competent in applying their skills and knowledge
This definition provides current students with clear goals for their time at the University and provides staff with a framework for identifying how they can best work with and support students in achieving these. To find out more about attributes, please see www.sheffield.ac.uk/sheffieldgraduate
Appendix 10 has the Sheffield Graduate Attributes and the Faculty of Medicine dentistry and Health Graduate Attributes mapped against opportunities in the programmes we offer.
9 The Higher Education Achievement Report (Undergraduate students only)
The University is committed to recognising the wide range of curricular and extra-curricular learning experiences that students gain during their time at Sheffield. It is therefore introducing a new kind of degree transcript that will be offered to all new undergraduate students from September 2012: the Higher Education Achievement Report or ‘HEAR’. This transcript has been developed over the past four years, through a national project involving other universities, employers and students.
You will be issued with your HEAR alongside your degree certificate. As well as including your degree classification, an overview of your qualification and a list of your modules and grades, the HEAR will include more detailed information about your chosen course. It will also give details of non-academic achievements that the University or the Students’ Union can verify, to provide you with a broad picture of your university achievements. These might include additional modules you have taken (e.g. a language course), awards such as the Sheffield Graduate Award or Skills for Work Certificate, and other extra-curricular activities such ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 14 as volunteering or mentoring.
You will have the opportunity to view your HEAR as it grows during your time at Sheffield. You can use it as support for the Sheffield Graduate Development Programme, by providing a basis for reviewing your progress and thinking about your personal development. You are also encouraged to refer to your HEAR in discussions with your personal tutor and the Careers Service, to help you identify and articulate the skills you are gaining, and reflect on how you can build on these to achieve your future goals.
The University will issue you with an ‘interim’ HEAR at various points during your degree, and you can share this with employers and others to provide evidence of your university achievements as you begin to apply for internships, jobs or further study. You are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to gain recognition for activities you undertake outside the curriculum. This will help you demonstrate how you have made the most of your time at university, and gained valuable skills and experience that will enhance your employability and help you achieve your potential. There will of course be some things that the University cannot verify. However, employers are aware of this and will be equally interested in how you present yourself in CVs, personal statements, portfolios and interviews. If you refer to your additional activities and achievements in these other documents and during interviews, you will not be disadvantaged – and if you have used your HEAR to help you think about where you want to go and how all of your skills and experiences prepare you for this, you will be well set to impress!

ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 27 Appendix 6 Harvard Referencing HARVARD REFERENCING A bibliographical reference should contain sufficient information for someone else or yourself to trace the item in a library. It is very important to be consistent and accurate when citing references. The same set of rules should be followed every time you cite a reference. The School of Nursing and Midwifery require you to use the Harvard system to compile the reference list for your assignment. Citations in the text should give the author's name with the year of publication and then all references should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the paper/dissertation.
Harvard method of citation in the text All statements, opinions, conclusions etc. taken from another writer's work should be acknowledged, whether the work is directly quoted, paraphrased or summarised. In the Harvard System cited publications are referred to in one of the forms shown below:
Single author:-
In a study by Benner (1989) coping with illness was investigated .... In a study (Benner, 1989) coping with illness was investigated ....
When an author has published more than one cited document in the same year these are distinguished by adding lower case letters after the year within the brackets.
Burnard (1992a) wrote about communication for health professionals that ....
Two authors :-
In the book by Basford and Slevin (1995) .....
More than two authors:-
Benner et al (1996) conclude that ....
Harvard method of quoting in the text When quoting directly in the text use quotation marks as well as acknowledging the author's name, year of publication and page number of the quote in brackets.
Short quotations e.g. up to 2 lines can be included in the body of the text:-
Weir (1995) states that "defining roles and their remits is not simple"(p.10).
Longer quotations should be indented in a separate paragraph:-
Thomas and Ingham (1995) in discussing staff development state that:
"Development is infectious, and staff who previously have recoiled from undertaking a degree or conversion course have been encouraged by the success of others"(p.33).
If part of the quotation is omitted then this can be indicated using three dots:-
Weir and Kendrick (1995) state that "networking is no longer solely within the male domain ."(p.88).
Secondary referencing Secondary referencing is when one author is referring to the work of another and the primary source is not available. You should cite the primary source and the source you have read e.g. (Fiedler and Chemers, 1974, cited in Douglass, 1996). Secondary referencing should be avoided if at all possible.
ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 28 Harvard method of listing references at the end of the text References should be listed in alphabetical order by author's name and then by date (earliest first), and then if more than one item has been published during a specific year by letter (1995a, 1995b etc.). Whenever possible details should be taken from the title page of a publication and not from the front cover, which may be different. Each reference should include the elements and punctuation given in the examples below. Authors' forenames can be included if given on the title page but they are not required to be. The title of the publication should either be in italics or underlined. The examples given are in italics:

CITING ELECTRONIC SOURCES OF INFORMATION Data is available in various formats apart from printed documents such as books and journals. Increasingly information is available in electronic form via a computer, on the Internet, CD-Rom, microform, film, television or radio. This guide sets out to provide examples of how to cite these electronic sources of information in the Harvard style. There is a separate document outlining how to cite printed material. The standard copyright law applies equally to electronic sources and any reference to other people's work should be acknowledged with citations in your text and inclusion in your reference list.
INTERNET SOURCES
Individual works Author/editor surname, Initial. (Year) Title [online]. Edition. Place of publication, Publisher. Available from: URL [Accessed date].
Example:
Ward, R. (1997) Nursing and Health Care Resources on the Net [online]. 2nd edition. Sheffield, University of Sheffield. Available from: http://www.shef.ac.uk/~nhcon [Accessed 17 March 1998].
Include the year of publication in brackets, if no publication date is given write (No date).
Only mention an edition statement if the document clearly states that the pages have been rewritten rather than just updated. Most Web pages are updated on a regular basis. Date of publication is the date the pages were last updated.
The accessed date is when you viewed, downloaded or printed the Web page. This statement is necessary to allow for any subsequent changes which may be made to the page or if the page is no longer available.
The term publisher is used here to cover both the traditional idea of publisher of printed sources, as well as organisations responsible for maintaining sites on the Internet, such as the University of Sheffield.
Often information is put on the Internet by organisations without citing a specific author. In such cases, ascribe authorship to the smallest identifiable organisational unit (this is similar to the standard method of citing works produced by a corporate body) or start with the title.

ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 34 ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 35 Appendix 8 Plagiarism Action Guidance
The following table has been developed to assist markers in instigating the appropriate course of action when they detect a high level of similarity in a student’s work that has been submitted to “Turnitin”.
On full time programmes it is recommended that all students submit their own work via “Turnitin”.
On part time programmes unit leaders must submit at least 20% of work to “Turnitin”.
The table is not definitive, there will still be occasions when professional judgement will need to be exercised.
Sources of plagiarism are identified as below:-
Published material Database sources Another student’s work This student’s previous work, which may be: o a previous attempt at this assignment or o a previous assignment for another unit/module
Plagiarism may also be identified as poor or inappropriate referencing that may be as a result of inexperience. If, in the markers professional judgement, this is deemed to be the case the action guide below does contain appropriate action to be taken.
If the marker requires any clarification regarding their concerns then they should consult with the director/deputy director of learning and teaching.
It is important that programme/unit leaders ensure that information on avoiding plagiarism is included at the beginning and end of all taught units on part time programmes. On full time programmes sessions should be timetabled at the beginning of each semester. For units delivered on-line or by distance learning the unit/programme leaders should ensure that students are given the opportunity to complete the distance learning package.

ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 37 APPENDIX 9 Standards for formative feedback
The School Of Nursing And Midwifery.
STANDARDS FOR THE PROVISION OF FORMATIVE FEEDBACK ON ALL UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE TAUGHT PROGRAMMES
These standards apply to 1st attempts and resubmissions.
Formative feedback represents a crucial element of the teaching and learning process. It is the student’s individual responsibility to seek formative feedback from their tutors. When unsure of who their academic tutor is students are required to contact the course secretary/administrator.
Students are strongly encouraged to seek formative feedback early on in the assessment process. In the case of written assignments, this would normally be in the form of an essay plan or outline.
General feedback on written drafts will usually address four key areas: i) structure/flow of assignment, ii) critical analysis, iii) application to assignment guidelines/context, iv) referencing.
Tutors will not normally provide detailed feedback on full drafts of written work. Feedback on the content of a draft essay or other written work will only usually be provided when part of a plan/outline.
Detailed corrections to grammar and syntax will not be made in the provision of formative feedback. Attention will only be drawn to the need to address deficiencies in this area, when required.
ML/LB/all/School of Nursing and Midwifery /General Information Handbook/LBR Updated AUG 12 38 Students will normally receive acknowledgment of receipt of their work submitted for feedback within 48hrs (2 working days); in event of non-receipt of acknowledgement, students are required to contact the course secretary.
Students will normally receive formative feedback on their work within 5 working days. In the event of a tutor being absent/sick for longer than 5 working days, an email “vacation” message will be used to inform students of the absence and what cover has been arranged for the provision of formative feedback.
Work submitted for feedback within 5 working days of assessment submission date will not normally be considered.
Students should not expect to receive formative feedback on more than two occasions for each assignment. In the case of longer pieces of work, such as dissertations, this may not be the case. Students who are experiencing particular difficulties with their assignments should seek to negotiate additional support from their academic/personal tutor, who will also be able to direct students to University support resources (TASH, library etc.).
Formative feedback may be written (e.g. email) or verbal (e.g. face-to-face meeting or telephone) as agreed in advance between student and relevant tutor.
A record of feedback provided will be kept in the student record.
Students will not be given an indication as to whether or not the work has achieved the necessary standard for a pass prior to submission for summative assessment.
