EH4728 ROMANTIC LITERATURE IN ENGLISH FINAL YEAR
SEMESTER 2
(Dr John McDonagh; Dr Eugene O’Brien; Dr Eóin Flannery)
2015-2016
Students must make themselves familiar with the details of MICL/UL policies about attendance at
lectures and tutorials, submitting written work on the designated date/time, and presenting themselves on
the designated dates/times for all the tests and examinations involved in the assessment procedures for this
course. Similarly, students must know and observe the MIC/UL regulations forbidding copying,
syndication and plagiarism. All students who take this course must be available for all parts of the
assessment procedures as they are timetabled. Essays must be typed and presented in the proper academic
format.
Students seeking “I” grades for undelivered essays/unattended tests, examinations etc. must conform
exactly to the MICL/UL regulations for obtaining “I” Grades. Knowing and implementing these
regulations is the responsibility of each student. All recognized doctors' and/or bereavement certificates
requesting an "I" Grade for undelivered essays/unattended tests, examinations etc. must be handed in to
the Registrar.
"I"Grades awarded for undelivered essays, unattended tests, examinations etc., and all failing grades,
may be cleared only by the assessment procedures linked to the September Repeats.
In the Autumn Repeats, 100% of the marks for the module will be available for repeating students (i.e. no
tutorial mark will be counted): repeating students must write an essay on a new prescribed topic and
answer one question in an examination that lasts 45 minutes.
“I” Grade students will take the above examination and will be marked out of the same percentage of
marks as was originally assigned to the exam they missed; if the “I” Grade is for an undelivered essay,
students will write an essay on a new prescribed topic for the same percentage of marks as was originally
assigned the essay they missed.
All essays must be referenced as per the department style sheet, the Harvard Style Sheet, available on the
departmental website.
Plagiarism, or any form of unreferenced copying, will be dealt with by the MIC policy on plagiarism.
Students may be asked to submit an electronic copy of any essay, which will be screened electronically
through ‘Turnitin’, a plagiarism detection system.
