Can there ever be such a thing as a 'just' war?

Guidelines on using this essay template

Q. Should I use this template for all the work I submit in year one?

A. The full template is only for essays. For shorter pieces of work (e.g. the Concepts and Methods bibliography and critical review of an article) you should use the short template on the Concepts and Methods website.

Q. How are assignments submitted online?

A. By going to the course area of the VLE (http://learn.gold.ac.uk) to which the assignment relates (e.g. Concepts and Methods, Age of Discovery, etc) and following the instructions.

Q. How should I name this file?

A. With your student number (e.g.22350987), course code (e.g. HT51001A), and essay number (e.g. 1,2,3). Leave a space in between each item. The filename should then resemble this example: 22350987 HT51001A 1.doc

Q. What wordprocessor format should I use for assignments?

A. Only two formats are acceptable: Word (.doc) and RTF (.rtf). Word format is preferred.

Q. How many files can I upload for each assignment?

A. Only one file, which much include all text, footnotes, and bibliography.

Q. If I make a mistake, or want to make some changes, can I upload the file again?

A. Yes, you can upload the file as many times as you like before the deadline. Only the last version you upload will be saved.

Q. Can I upload a file from home, or only from College?

A. You can upload a file from home or anywhere else that has an internet connection.

Q. Are the deadlines for submission of coursework final?

A. Yes, the deadlines are final. The VLE will not allow you to upload work after 23:55 on the day of the deadline and failure to submit work on time will result in a mark of 0 unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Q. What are 'extenuating circumstances'?

A. Circumstances that are unforeseeable and totally beyond your control, such as being taken ill or suffering a serious accident. Technical problems with your computer, internet connection, floppy disk or memory stick, etc, are not valid extenuating circumstances. Nor is the failure to plan your time properly. To avoid last-minute problems you are advised to upload your work a day or more in advance of the deadline.

Q. What should I do if there are valid extenuating circumstances which prevented me submitting an assignment on time?

A. Submit an extenuating circumstances form as soon as possible (available from the History Examinations Information Centre on the VLE). You will need to enclose medical or other written evidence.

Q. Can I cut this FAQ out of my essay when I submit it?

A. Yes, but you should not cut out the section on plagiarism that follows.

Q. What should I do if I have other queries?

See the full Online Assignments FAQ in the History Department Virtual Office (section 4). Then if you need more help see your course convener or personal tutor. (The College Computer Helpdesk will not answer queries relating to the VLE.)
