■ Submit the remaining draft manuscript for your Critical Review observing the following submission guidelines: 2,000 - 3,000 words in length or equivalent alternative. This includes quotations, but excludes footnotes and bibliography. Please do not submit work that is above the allowed word limit as this will impact on the available time tutors have to spend reviewing work. Check with your tutor on appropriate word count, for example you might submit a fully developed 2,000 words, or 3,000 words that still need some editing. Please note that this draft is not a 'rough' draft - the very first draft that you have done - but a completed first draft. Edit carefully to ensure that your draft meets the word count, and that you are correctly targeting your objective. It is helpful to break this longer assignment into 1 - 3 separate chapters/sections of 1,000 - 1,500 words each with a conclusion. Your critical review must be typed using Microsoft Word or similar word processing software. Please do not use design software such as Adobe InDesign. It should be A4, portrait orientation, set at 12pt in a plain typeface, at 1.5 line spacing. Your dissertation or critical review must be fully illustrated and referenced and have a complete list of references and separate bibliography. Include a contents page and list of illustrations, and appendices where necessary. Include a cover page, with your name and student number, course title, the title of your dissertation or critical review and word counts, including and excluding footnotes and quotations. Consider the title of your dissertation or critical review carefully. It should be succinct (one line maximum) and give clearly the subject of your dissertation or critical review. Your title should entice the reader and set the parameters. Don’t be frivolous and undermine the overall academic tone. Use ‘auto text’ to insert page numbers (starting from the Introduction). This is not only good practice but will allow your tutor and the assessors to refer to specific points in their feedback.
■ Submit this assignment document via OCA Learn as an editable document (not a pdf) so your tutor can annotate your work as required using the review mode where required. Liaise with your tutor to arrange a preferred format. Submit your work to your tutor for a formative feedback tutorial.

■ Prepare for tutorials by developing short summaries of work in progress to share with your tutor: Submit a reflective presentation / evaluation (750 words or 6 minutes) of the relationship between your external project(s), written work and the future of your practice. Consider what impact your choices and actions during the past projects have had on your work and its development. Also consider the options ahead of you in the production of your practice and specific topic. Consider your learning against the unit aims and learning outcomes.
■ Submit a log link with tentative indicative task submissions for your self-directed practice work. Reflective presentation / evaluation (750 words or 6 minutes) is a formal component of your assessment submission. Submitting this at feedback point 9 allows for formative tutorial feedback, after which you may wish to further refine your work before formal unit assessment. Submit these to your tutor via OCA Learn for a short 1-2-1 feedback tutorial

Word count includes quotations, but excludes footnotes and bibliography. Please do not submit work that is above the allowed word limit. Submit a covering note identifying the parts of your dissertation or critical review that have been most substantially revised or developed. That way your tutor can focus on your revisions rather than re-reading the whole dissertation or critical review. Write an abstract for your dissertation or critical review (maximum 500 words) summarising the subject areas discussed in your dissertation or critical review and its key findings or conclusions.
■ Submit your self-directed practice and external project outcomes as you consider appropriate for the assessment. This submission via OCA Learn to your tutor is your final formative feedback point for this unit.
