Instructions on Assessment:

指导assignment The assessment for this module is by means of an assignment. The assignment is in two parts and both parts must be completed. The word count should be stated in part one of the assignment and you must submit an electronic version (in a file with your name) to the electronic drop box on the Blackboard site.

PART ONE (limit 2,800 words see guidance on next page)

In light of the recent proposals for toughening the Basel III bank rules you are required to critique recommendations for both credit and market risk measurement and management. Your work should summarise the available methods, giving an indication of their strengths and weaknesses and, importantly, show how these methods should be implemented as part of an effective risk management policy. You should include references to the academic authorities relied upon.
(Total for Part 1 = 80 marks)

PART TWO (outside of the word limit)

This task may be carried out for either the Credit Risk or the Market Risk part of the module

Select one of the seminar / workshop sessions for which you had to prepare materials.

Prepare a short portfolio that includes the following:
• A reflective statement (indicative length 500 words) setting out why you chose this activity, what you gained from engaging with the session and what you think you have learned as a result. Your statement should be supported by the inclusion of:
• Evidence of the preparation that you undertook for the session (working papers including, for example, notes of the reading plus a list or sources consulted, calculations undertaken or draft report)
• Evidence of your contribution and engagement with the session (for example your presentation, calculations, report or findings taken to the class plus supporting notes taken during the class)

This portfolio should be attached as an appendix to your assignment

(Total for Part 2 = 20 marks)

Your attention is drawn to the extensive range of study skills within the eLibrary ask4help.

Please note the following standard assessment provisions:

Important note about ARNA regulations

The regulations specify that students must complete every assessment component contributing to the modules on their programme. This applies to all forms of assessment as defined in the module descriptor. Please note that:

• if any assessment component is not completed, students will be failed in the module even if the module pass mark has been achieved;
• if the requirements for referral specified in section 5 of ARNA1 are met, a resit opportunity will be given;
• if unable to complete an assessment component because of extenuating circumstances, students should follow the procedure described in the Student Guide to Extenuating Circumstances1.

This change was approved by Academic Board on 12 October 2009 in consultation with the Students’ Union. Students should consult their Programme Leader or Guidance Tutor if they have any queries. Independent advice and support is also available from the Students’ Union Advice & Representation Centre (su.advice@northumbria.ac.uk) or from a student adviser in Student Services.

1ARNA and the Student Guide to Extenuating Circumstances Affecting Assessed Work are available from http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/central/ar/lts/assess/assproc/assdocstud/

Word Count

Students MUST declare the word count at the end of the assignment.

The word count does NOT include the following: citations including direct quotes within quotation marks and information contained in brackets relating to quotations or references, ie (Smith, 2010); abstract; title page; contents page; glossary; tables/figures including headings and labels; reference list; bibliography; or appendices.

Word limits and penalties for assignments

If the assignment is within +10% of the stated word limit no penalty will apply. However, if the word limit exceeds the +10% limit, 10% of the mark provisionally awarded to the assignment will be deducted. For example: if the assignment is worth 70% but is above the word limit by more than 10%, a penalty of 7% will be imposed, giving a final mark of 63%.

Time limits and penalties for presentations

The time allocated for the presentation must be adhered to. At the end of this time, the presentation will be stopped and will be marked based on what has been delivered within the time limit.

Submission of Assessment:

All assignments must be submitted via the Undergraduate Programme Office. Each assignment must be accompanied by an Assessed Work Form which must be completed in full. The assignment will not be accepted by the Undergraduate Programme Office unless the form is completed correctly. Please ensure that you also submit an electronic copy (saved under your name) to the digital drop box on the module e-learning site.

Marked assignments will be returned to students. It is advisable to retain a copy of your assignment for you own records. Your mark will be returned on the Assessed Work Form via the Undergraduate Programme Office.

Referencing your work

The Harvard method of referring to publications and of arranging references uses the author's name and the date of the publication. References are listed at the end of the text in alphabetical order by author's name. The general format of a journal reference is shown below:

Smith, J. (1999) ‘How to succeed!’, Journal of Entrepreneurs, 1 (2),pp.34-56

Author/s name and initials are listed first, followed by year of publication in brackets. Then there is the title of article and the journal where article appears, which is in italics. Finally, state the volume and issue Number (in brackets) along with the pages where article can be located.

For further information, access the Referencing web page found on the Library website:

You will find other useful help guides on the Library web pages to help you with researching and writing your assessments.
