idea to keep everyone updated on these frequently asked questions.
Thanks to the students who sent them in, if you have questions like
these, please email Juan. 1 What to do if report has an ID?
Continue the review, be fair. Note that the penalties for not
anonymising their work go to the writer, not the reviewer. 2 What if I come across excessive usage of "“I"”, "me", or "“myself"
rather than the passive voice”?
Assess according to economical writing by Deidre McCloskey 3 What if there are no graphs?
Point that out in your feedback and grade accordingly. 4 Does the reference page count towards the 8 page minimum?
Yes, Reference list should be included within the 8 pages minimum and
10 pages maximum requirement. 5 What if a report has less than 8 pages?
“The student should receive a lower mark unless they produce something
stunningly insightful to compensate for this break in the rules”. 6 What if student did not used the word template provided?
Unfortunately for technical reasons, some operation systems (Mac,
Word) changed the template provided. Therefore, this situation cannot
be penalised. However use of zany fonts with odd sizes and line
spacing should be remarked upon. 7 What if the report focuses on a different country than Ireland and
US, but it compares to Ireland or US?
It is Ok. But, if the report focuses *only* on Ireland or US, it is an
automatic fail.
