Use reading lists and guidance from the module handbook to help you.

Submission of reassessment coursework

The deadline for receipt of reassessment coursework is Wednesday 21 August 2013 at 12.00 noon. Please submit two hard copies of your essay to the Coursework Box in the Humanities Building (unless otherwise stated), each with a coversheet; one copy will be returned to you with feedback. You must also submit an electronic copy to Turnitin on the Moodle page for the module.

Students can if they wish post their work to the Taught Courses Administrator: Rosina Pennington, Humanities Building, University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD to arrive on or before the deadline date.

If you choose to do this, please bear in mind the following: - We strongly recommend that you use recorded mail as non-receipt of coursework due to it being lost or delayed in the post is not considered a valid reason for missing a deadline. - All coursework must have a coversheet attached, completed and signed in the usual way. The usual lateness penalties will apply, i.e. 5% per working day that the coursework is late, so please allow enough time for your work to get here.

Assessment Regulations

Rules on presentation, marking, referencing and bibliographies and other assessment regulations remain the same as for standard assignments. You can find these in the Undergraduate Handbook: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/archaeology/documents/ug/current/archaeology-undergraduate- handbook-1213-final.pdf

The University deals very harshly with plagiarism. For more detailed information on thorough referencing, follow the detailed rules in the main University guide: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/is/documents/about/inductionguides/references.pdf

Illustrations

Consider carefully how illustrations can contribute to the overall presentation and content of your essay. If you can easily scan a diagram or other illustration into your essay, or download it, definitely consider it. Alternatively, photocopy the illustration, cut it out and glue it in. Hand-drawn illustrations are fine, but they can take a lot of time if they are to look reasonably neat. But however you present your illustrations, make sure you indicate the source. Refer to the book, article, or website you got it from, or indicate if it is entirely your own work (see above on referencing).

1) To what extent may Italy’s mountainous terrain be said to have conditioned its prehistory? Justify your discussion with examples.
