The Department of Government provides an energetic and supportive learning environment for students
seeking a career in politics, governance and industry and for professionals wishing to update their
knowledge and improve their governing skills. Known for its student-friendly approach to education,
the Department actively engages in research, conferences and mentoring which enrich the learning experience.
Situated in the Faculty of Commerce, within the College of Business and Law, the Department of Government
epitomises the changes afoot in the more globalised setting of governance, politics and business by
operating with awareness of both the local picture and of the larger context. Staff reflect this ‘multi-level’
approach to politics and business with expertise and professional connections that range from local and
national politics, to international issues and global governance. The Department is continually renewing
its programmes to maintain this relevance and to translate the new opportunities of a new age into quality
teaching for its students.
Its teaching programme includes, amongst others: Citizenship; Public Participation; Democracy Studies; Public
Policy; Politics of the EU; Public Management; Political Ethics; Irish Politics; Conflict Resolution; Public
Finance; Political Economy; International Political Systems; Globalisation; Multi-level Governance; Research
Methods; and US Politics.
The Department has an expanding research and publishing agenda. Staff members regularly publish in
international journals. They have produced a number of books and are involved in EU, IRC and other
externally funded research programmes.
The Department of Government aims at enhancing the overall educational and cultural experience of
students during their stay at University College Cork. Modules are designed to maximize contact with other
students of the Department, the majority of whom are in the BComm and BA programmes, but also
includes many visiting students from abroad. All our students are automatic members of the Government and
Politics Society, which is the Department’s student society. It organises events throughout the year, including
social outings, debates, guest speakers and the annual Government and Politics Society Ball, which is held
during the spring semester. In the past, the Department and the Society have been successful in inviting high
profile guests to address the students on contemporary political issues. Such events give the students an
opportunity to engage with high profile politicians.

IMPORTANCE OF E-MAIL CONTACT
Over the course of the year, you will receive a lot of information during lectures and through the
departmental notice-board. However, information will also be disseminated to you electronically so it
is of vital importance that you use your student e-mail account and check it regularly.
You are required to sign up to the departmental mailing list at SGPP-L@LISTS.UCC.IE. Details of how
you subscribe to this list will be outlined to you.
Many lecturers use the UCC Blackboard facility (http://blackboard.ucc.ie/) to post information
pertaining to your modules. Lecturers will provide you with access information in due course.
House Rules Regarding Email Contact
When sending e-mails through the SGPP list or Blackboard we ask you to respect the following
rules:
•
•
•
•
•
Comments likely to provoke, attack or offend others are prohibited.
Comments that are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise
objectionable are prohibited.
Comments should not contain swear words or language likely to offend.
Messages should not encourage unlawful activity; this includes breach of copyright,
defamation and contempt of court.
Products or services cannot be advertised and you are prohibited from impersonating
someone else.
Above all else, e-mail contributions should be relevant, focused and respectful of others.
20
Social Networking Sites
The use of online social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Bebo etc.) has become a
significant part of life for many people. While we encourage students to use these sites to keep in
touch with friends and exchange ideas, there have been occasions when the sites have been used in
a less-than-positive way.
Please note the following:
•
•
Sites should not be used for accessing or sharing illegal content.
Any serious misuse of social networking sites that has a negative impact on the university,
staff members or students may be regarded as a disciplinary offence.
Netiquette
When e-mailing staff members, address the staff member appropriately. Also, please put your name
at the end of your message. Anonymous e-mails will not receive a response.
SWINE FLU POLICY
Students should make themselves aware of the University’s swine flu policy at:

PLAGIARISM POLICY
Plagiarism is taking someone else ’s writing or work and passing it off as your own.
Plagiarism may include: copying text from a book, a journal or the internet without attributing it; copying
another student’s essay/work; buying, downloading or copying an essay/assignment from an internet
based service (or similar); failure to include references and a bibliography indicating the sources you have
used. Plagiarism is unacceptable.
Clear cases of plagiarism will automatically result in an
essay/assignment being awarded a fail grade. Plagiarism may also result in disciplinary action.
Bibliography & Referencing (see referencing guide later in handbook) Essays/assignments must include a
bibliography and appropriate referencing. The bibliography should indicate the sources used in writing
the essay/assignment (e.g., books, journals, websites, newspapers, etc). Direct quotes from authors,
websites, newspapers, etc must be attributed. Ideas, concepts, arguments, etc taken from or
associated with particular authors or sources must also be attributed. The absence of a bibliography
and/or the failure to reference adequately is likely to result in an essay/assignment being
awarded a fail grade.
Late Submission
Where work is submitted up to and including 7 days late, 5% of the total marks available shall be
deducted from the mark achieved. Where work is submitted up to and including 14 days late, 10% of
the total marks available shall be deducted from the mark achieved. Work submitted 15 days late
or more shall not be accepted and will be awarded a mark of zero.
Length of Essays/Assignments
Essays/assignments which exceed or do not meet the word limit by 10% of the total word limit are
deemed to be of excessive or insufficient length and may be penalised.
The Department now has access to turnitin.com software and it will be relatively easy for us to
detect plagiarism on a non-arbitrary basis.
22
GENERAL GUIDE FOR STUDENT SUBMISSIONS
CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
Virtually all of your modules in university are based on continuous assessment work and an endof- year examination. Both elements are COMPULSORY in order for students to pass each module.
LATE SUBMISSIONS AND EXTENSIONS
Where work is submitted up to and including 7 days late, 5% of the total marks available shall
be deducted from the mark achieved. Where work is submitted up to and including 14 days late,
10% of the total marks available shall be deducted from the mark achieved. Work submitted 15
days late or more shall not be accepted.
Requests for extensions to deadlines (Semester1) must be submitted by e-mail to Dr Emmanuelle
Schön- Quinlivan at e.schon@ucc.ie Requests for extensions to deadlines (Semester 2) must be
submitted by e-mail to Dr Liam Weeks at l.weeks@ucc.ie On the Department of Government website
- http://www.ucc.ie/en/government/ - you will find the appropriate form under the ‘BSc
Government’ link. Please complete and attach with your e-mail to Emmanuelle (Semester 1) and Liam
(Semester 2). Appropriate supporting documentation should also be provided.
ATTENDANCE
Every student registered for a diploma or degree is expected to attend all lectures, tutorials,
laboratory classes etc. In the case of absence through illness, a student must, if possible, give
notice of each absence in writing to the Lecturer concerned and/or Head of Department
responsible. In the case of such absence for more than four lecture days the student must, on
resuming attendance, notify the Lecturer concerned and/or Head of Department in writing and, if
required by the Lecturer and/or Head of Department to do so, lodge a medical certificate with the
Head of Department, who in turn will send a copy to the Student Records and Examinations.
A student will not be permitted to enter for an examination at the conclusion of a module if
attendance at that module is not considered satisfactory by the Registrar and Vice-President for
Academic Affairs following a report by the Lecturer concerned and/or Head of Department
responsible for the module. The decision of the Registrar and Vice-President for Academic Affairs is
subject to the appeal of the Academic Council of the University.
23
GRADING POLICY
First Class Honours (IH, 70%+)
Outstanding answer which shows a thorough understanding of the subject matter. The answer
has a clear direction, structure and argument and deals with the question posed. The student
demonstrates a very good analytical ability and there is evidence of independent reading and
thought with critical and original use of material. The answer is well presented and referenced
(including bibliography) in accordance with departmental requirements.
Second Class Honours Grade One (2H1, 60-69%)
A well-argued and constructed answer that addresses the question and shows a good
understanding of the key concepts. The student’s knowledge covers all the essential elements of the
subject matter and there is evidence of some good research. Presentation and referencing are of a high
standard.
Second Class Honours Grade Two (2H2, 50-59%)
Answer is well organised and logically presented. Content is largely restricted to lecture material and
there was not much of an attempt to move beyond this. There are few illustrative examples and
there is a lack of analytical depth. There are some errors or omissions and/or referencing is average.
Third Class Honours (3H, 45-49%)
Limited ability to argue logically and to organise material. Content is limited to a repetition of lecture
notes and/or the course textbook. There are very few illustrative examples and there are
significant errors or omissions. The bibliography is weak and demonstrates a lack of reading.
Pass (P, 40-44%)
The answer demonstrates a limited understanding of the main concepts. The question is not
directly addressed, the presentation is poor and the information is randomly organised. There are
also some significant errors and omissions. The bibliography is weak. It makes a poor attempt to
follow the departmental bibliographic and referencing guidelines.
Fail (F, 0-39%)
This answer is seriously lacking in content and accuracy and/or there is no attempt to address
the question. There is no evidence of extra reading and research outside of the course notes and a
lack of critical use of material. Presentation, referencing and bibliography are all below the minimal
accepted standard. The answer is coherent but does not answer the question asked, i.e. it is off the
point entirely. Evidence of plagiarism is likely to result in an essay/assignment being awarded a fail
grade.

DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR ESSAY ASSIGNMENTS & DISSERTATIONS
BASIC PRESENTATION
Your essay must be typed. Handwritten assignments will be returned unmarked.
FONT
Times Roman/New Roman (size 12)
LINE SPACING
Double spacing (except for indented quotes, see page 15).
MARGINS
Left hand margin to be aligned and right hand margin to be justified
COVER PAGE
This should contain the following information:•
•
•
•
Student name
Student ID number
Essay title
Word count (the exact number. No rounding up.) NOTE:
Please hand in your assignment STAPLED.
25
STRUCTURE
Coherent introduction, middle and end
•
The golden rule with the introduction is NOT to reveal your conclusion. Just simply set the scene for the
essay, perhaps explain why the question you are asked is important and outline the approach you
are taking. Start BROAD, giving the historical and/or theoretical background to the question and
slowly narrow your introduction down to the question you are asked. Do not under-estimate the
importance of a decent introduction because first impressions are important for the corrector. By
the time the reader finishes reading the introduction she/he should clearly know the approach you are
taking and the order in which the subsequent sections will appear.
•
Obviously, the main body of the essay should deal with the question that has been posed. The
important thing is to present arguments in a balanced way and with supporting references. Do not
use sweeping generalisations or banal statements. This section (which is the largest part of the essay)
should be written in a neutral and dispassionate fashion. In other words, you are not analysing at this
point and you are not offering your own opinion. None of it should be written in the ‘first person’.
Ultimately if you wish to convince the reader of a certain point in your conclusions then you need to
demonstrate here that you are aware of the different issues that the question covers.
•
In the concluding part of the essay you can cut free. Having said that, your conclusion should come
at the end of a structured and logical demonstration. In other words, it should not appear from ‘thin air’
in a way which bears no resemblance to what you have previously written. In the conclusion you
should be analytical and you should, at this point, be offering your own opinion. Do not be afraid to
disagree with the views expressed by your lecturer, as long as you can effectively argue and support
your case. The key thing, of course, is to offer an answer to the specific question which has been
posed. It is staggering how many people make the fundamental mistake of not answering the
question. Essays should not simply summarise your notes or a textbook. This is a lazy approach and
will not lead to a good grade. Depending on the subject of the essay, your conclusion may open up
onto a broader issue. This means that the overall flow of your work is BROAD-NARROW-BROAD.
PLAGIARISM (See also page 10 above)
Plagiarism is where you quote somebody without referencing them. There is only one simple rule and there
are no exceptions to it. The rule is: never ever plagiarise. The minimum punishment for plagiarism is that you
will receive a mark of zero. You should also be aware that plagiarism can be penalised by exclusion from
university. Every quote or idea from somebody else has to be referenced. And, in case you are wondering,
‘lifting’ five pages directly from a book but referencing the author is not allowed either. Your approach to
referencing is crucial as is the production of a detailed bibliography.
26
REFERENCING
In the body of your work, if you are quoting somebody, this is the format:Johnson and Long (2003: 67) state that “grown men cry twice as much as women”.
Alternatively,
It has been stated that “grown men cry twice as much as women” (Johnson and Long, 2003: 67).
If you are using the research or ideas of Johnson and Long but not quoting them directly, they must still
be referenced (but since it is not a direct quote you will not be using “ ” and there will not be a page number).
Note: Do not use the ampersand (&). Spell out the word ‘and’.
Example,
Research indicates that women cry less than men (Johnson and Long, 2003).
When citing a page number for a quote either use ‘:’ or ‘p’. So, you can have Johnson and Long (2003: 67) or
Johnson and Long (2003, p.67). Whichever you choose, be consistent.
Niggly but important things
• The full stop closes the sentence so, for example, it comes after the bracket (as above) if you have
a citation at the end.
• Get the spacing right. - Johnson and Long (2003: 67). – Bracket, year, colon, space, page number,
bracket).
• Keep the year and page reference next to the relevant author(s). In other words, do not do the
following:- Johnson and Long state that “grown men cry twice as much as women” (2003: 67).
Also, DO NOT do this:Johnson and Long (2003) state that “grown men cry twice as much as women” (Johnson and Long, 2003: 67).
“What do I do with long quotations? ”
As far as possible quotations should be integrated into the sentence as demonstrated above. Excessively
long quotes should be kept to a minimum. However, there will be times when they are necessary. Therefore,
here is a general guideline to use:- If the quotation is longer than 3 lines then you indent it and it should be
single-spaced.
Example:Johnson and Long (2003: 67) present a strong case for the manufacture of stronger handkerchiefs,
Our empirical research clearly shows that grown men cry twice as much as women. This
tends to refute a commonly held ‘truth’ that men are not as emotional as women.
Accordingly, this book argues that male handkerchiefs should be extra-durable to cope with
this outpouring of emotion …. and tears.
Needless to say, the margins should be consistent for all of your long quotations. Quote marks are not required.
27
“What if I am quoting somebody second hand?”
If Johnson and Long (2003) directly quote somebody else, e.g. Howard (1998: 145) and you want to use the
quotation then reference it to Howard, as sourced in Johnson and Long.
Howard (in Johnson and Long, 2003: 68) claims, “male tear ducts are weaker than in their female counterparts”.
If Johnson and Long (2003) are the editors of a book and you wish to use a quote from one of the
chapterwriters, e.g. Markus, then you reference Markus because he wrote the words, not Johnson & Long.
Markus (2003: 98) stresses the need “for more women to give hugs to men”.
(See how this is referenced later in the bibliography section entitled ‘When referencing a chapter written by
someone within a book’).
GETTING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY RIGHT
Note: You are not expected to justify your bibliography
Style issues
• Bibliography must be alphabetical according to the surname of the author.
• If the reference goes on to a second line then this line should be indented (i.e. the purpose is that you
can read down the surnames in a straight line to enable you to easily find a specific reference).
• Each reference should be single spaced but with a line between each individual
entry Example of the above three points:Ahern, A. (2004), What men want and what women expect: a new world perspective, New York: Macmillan,
Conway & Heath.
Bradshaw, C. (1999), The tears game – why certain men do not know how to cry effectively, London: Pitman
When referencing a book
Exactly as above, i.e. surname, comma, initials of other name(s), year in brackets, title of book in italics, place of
publication, publisher.
When referencing an article
Surname, comma, other name(s) initial(s), year – all as above.
Title of article in quotes (single quotes preferably).
Journal title in italics.
Volume and issue details.
Pages of article.
Example,
Murphy, T. and O’ Callaghan, O. (2002), ‘Is God a woman?’, Journal of Theology, Vol. 4, no. 3, pp.134-156
28
When referencing a chapter written by someone within a book
Collins, N. (2004), ‘Corruption in Bolivia’, in E. Smith and D. Brown (eds.), The World of Corruption, pp.121146, Dublin: Falmer Press.
In this example, you are giving the chapter title in quotes and you are giving the page numbers (as per a
journal article). You are also providing the bibliographical details of the book. Note that in this instance the
Christian initial comes before the surname.
When referencing something sourced on the Internet
Start with the name of the author you are quoting and follow the steps as for an article. But instead of writing
the journal’s name, write the full address of the website. And when we say full address, we mean the
complete address, not the homepage address. For example, we should be able to find the article immediately
if we key in the address mentioned in your bibliography.
Example,
Lebessis, N. and Paterson, J. (2000) ‘Developing new modes of governance’, Working Paper, European
Commission Forward Studies Unit, http://europa.eu.int/comm/cdp/gouvernance/index_en.htm
If there is no apparent author, reference it under the name of the organisation which runs the website. If I want
to reference a White Paper published by the European Commission, I will do it as follows:
European
Commission (2000a) White Paper, ‘Reforming
the
http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/off/white/reform/index_en.htm
Commission’
COM
(2000),
The essential rule for referencing from the internet is that the full address should be contained in the
bibliography. You are also expected to include the date and time you accessed the information.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

•
Never use an abbreviated form in your essay. This means that you should write “they are” instead
of “they’re”, “we will” instead of “we’ll”, “they did not” instead of “they didn’t”, etc.
Never use an acronym without stating the full name first followed by the abbreviation in brackets.
Only then can you use the acronym throughout your essay. Do it even for ‘obvious’ abbreviations
like EU, NATO, WTO. Do not use punctuation marks for acronyms; for example it is EU, not E.U.
Abbreviations such as ‘LG’ or ‘Local Govt’ where you mean local government are never acceptable.
Learn the difference between “it’s” and “its”. Consider “it’s” only as an abbreviation of “it is” and not a
possessive pronoun. This means that in the sentence “Ireland and its past”, you cannot use “it’s” (i.e.
“it is”) because “Ireland and it is past” does not make any sense (Note: As explained in the first point
on this list, you are recommended not to use abbreviations anyway so you should never be writing
“it’s”!).
The same goes for “your” and “you’re”, the latter being an abbreviation for “you are”.
Pay attention to “weather” and “whether”, the former reflecting climatic change.
If you want to use footnotes you are strongly advised to do so sparingly. Footnotes should only be
used if you need to explain a point or term and you feel that it is not appropriate to do so in the body
of the text. DO NOT use footnotes for referencing purposes. If you are referencing properly and have a
correct bibliography then there is no need to use footnotes for this purpose.
Many people are obsessed with capital letters and over-use them to an embarrassing degree. If you
are referring to a specific title or institution, e.g. Cork City Manager, Cork County Council then capitals
are appropriate. However if you subsequently refer to ‘the council’ or ‘the manager’ then capitals
should not be used. There is no reason why terms such as ‘government’, ‘local authorities’ or ‘public
sector’ should ever require capitalisation.
Be consistent with your use of TENSES. As far as possible your essay should be written in the present
tense, even when citing work by authors from a few years ago. Example:- Johnson (1988: 78) claims,
“men have bigger egos than women”. Even if Johnson’s work is 16 years old it still forms part of a
contemporary and active body of literature. Obviously if you are referring to a truly historic and
ancient piece of work, e.g. the writings of Aristotle, then the past tense might be more appropriate.
LINKAGES are very important. This means that between each paragraph or section there should be
some sort of bridging sentence so that there is a logic to how the essay is progressing rather than
it reading as a series of disconnected sections.
There may be a place in your essay for bullet points or lists but do not over-do it and be wary of
the effect on the overall ‘flow’ of your writing.
Do not assume knowledge on behalf of your reader. In other words it is not acceptable to use terms
like ‘governance’, ‘new public management’, ‘paradigm’, ‘ultra vires’ etc. without explaining/defining
them (even if you know that we know what they are).
31
SUPPORT SERVICES
Starting university can be a daunting challenge. It is important to realise that you are not alone even
if at times you are confused and worried.
The Department of Government operates an ‘open door’ policy and if you have a problem please call
to see us at an early stage. You will be offered comfort and support in a confidential and secure
environment.
Do not keep your problems bottled up to yourself. Often people with a problem find it difficult to
see the wood from the trees and a neutral outside perspective can be invaluable.
You should also ‘look out’ for your class colleagues and if you feel that any of them are experiencing
problems you will be doing them a favour by letting us know at an early stage.
Early in the first semester you will be given the name of your Staff Mentor. Your Staff Mentor is there
to offer you one-to-one support. You will be given an appointment to meet with your mentor,
please make sure to use that appointment and establish a good relationship with your mentor. You
may call on your mentor to deal with any problems or questions you may have to do with any
aspect of your participation in university life
There are certain situations whereby you might not feel comfortable talking to a member of
the Department. In such an eventuality there are a wide range of student services available to you
in the university and these are contained on the next page.
