Cheating and Plagiarism Both cheating and plagiarism are totally unacceptable and the University maintains a strict policy against them. It is YOUR responsibility to be aware of this policy and to act accordingly. Please refer to the Academic Registry Guidance at https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for- Students/Assessment/AvoidingAllegations-of-Cheating The basic principles are: • Don’t pass off anyone else’s work as your own, including work from “essay banks”. This is plagiarism and is viewed extremely seriously by the University. • Don’t submit a piece of work in whole or in part that has already been submitted for assessment elsewhere. This is called duplication and, like plagiarism, is viewed extremely seriously by the University. • Always acknowledge all of the sources that you have used in your coursework assignment or project. • If you are using the exact words of another person, always put them in quotation marks. • Check that you know whether the coursework is to be produced individually or whether you can work with others. • If you are doing group work, be sure about what you are supposed to do on your own. • Never make up or falsify data to prove your point. • Never allow others to copy your work. • Never lend disks, memory sticks or copies of your coursework to any other student in the University; this may lead you being accused of collusion. By submitting coursework, either physically or electronically, you are confirming that it is your own work (or, in the case of a group submission, that it is the result of joint work undertaken by members of the group that you represent) and that you have read and understand the University’s guidance on plagiarism and cheating. https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Academic-Registry/Information-for-Students/Assessment/Avoiding-Allegations-of-Cheating Students should be aware that, at the discretion of the module co-ordinator, coursework may be submitted to an electronic detection system in order to help ascertain if any plagiarised material is present. Electronic Submission of Work Students should also be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that work submitted in electronic format can be opened on a faculty computer and to check that any electronic submissions have been successfully uploaded. If it cannot be opened it will not be marked. Any required file formats will be specified in the assignment brief and failure to comply with these submission requirements will result in work not being marked. Students must retain a copy of all electronic work they have submitted and resubmit if requested. Learning Outcomes to be Assessed: On successful completion of this assessment the student should be able to: 1. Compare the relationship between cost, shape and size of projects and sites specifics and be able to advise and guide other members of the design team appropriately, in the framework of the existing Singapore economy. 2. Assess the impact and implications on early cost advice due to changes of vary attributes such as location and time for tendering. Assessment Details: Deliverable 2 (contributes to 50% of the overall assessment) 1) Knowledge of elemental cost estimating (50%) 2) Assessment approach to costing exercise (20%) 3) Accuracy and explanation of assessment (20%) 4) Overall presentation, report writing and referencing (10%) ---------------------- Total: 100 % Background The two tasks for Deliverable 2 is a continuation of the tasks described in Deliverable 1. You are required to estimate development costs by rebasing the location and time difference and assess the cost implication due to increase in storey height of the residences and grouping of residences. Assessment Criteria: Task 2.1 The proposed development as described in Deliverable 1 is assumed to be located in Orchard Road (City Central) and the estimate you previously produced for Deliverable 1 to be based on the 3rd Quarter of 2018. Your client is planning to pursue a similar residence development in different districts. You should assume the location of the new development for this task to be situated in one of the following locations: Location of Residence Woodlands (Far North) Sentosa Island (South) Punggol (North East) You should also assume the works to be awarded in one of the following quarters: Assumed period for the project to be awarded 4th quarter 2018 1st quarter 2019 2nd quarter 2019 3rd quarter 2019 In the preliminary plan, the Client wants to make use of the building design of the Orchard Road (City Central) residential development to save the time and cost for design. The Client, however, wants to change the storey height of the development from 2.8m to 3.5m. Use the assumptions and estimate produced for Deliverable 1, prepare a cost plan for the new development. Task 2.2 Following from Task 2.1, the Client now realises that affordability could be an issue for the new development. A study shows that the market needs for relatively compact houses is higher. Responding to the market needs, the Client is thinking to develop with smaller units (2 bedrooms) instead of the bigger units (4 bedrooms) in the original plan. The Client wants you to advise on the cost implication of reducing the unit size and increase the number of units. Assume that the overall gross internal area (GIA) of the whole development remains unchanged and make any necessary further assumptions, evaluate the cost implication of the revised scheme. Note: Student shall obtain Overall Layout Plan, Floor Plan, Elevation and Section Drawings of one of the residential condominium projects for the coursework. Both Deliverable 1 and 2 shall use the same drawings. The drawings shall be appended to the report as the basis of the cost estimate. In the event, there is difficulty to obtain the required drawings, student shall discuss with the Module Tutor. Submission Details: Work should be submitted electronically via Moodle upload. You are required to submit one file in Word of PDF vector format containing your answer for each of the tasks in the format of a cost report and one file in Excel format containing the calculations and working of your answer. The maximum file size for each of file is 10MB. If you submit an assessment late at the first attempt then you will be subject to one of the following penalties: • If the submission is made up to two hours following the deadline, the mark that you achieve will be deducted by 10%*. If this deduction takes you below the pass threshold then you will be capped at that threshold, ie 40%; (*For example: work awarded a mark of 60% would become 54%) • If the submission is made between two hours and up to 5 days following the deadline, your mark will be capped at the pass threshold; • If the submission is made after 5 days following the deadline, your work will be deemed as a fail and returned to you unmarked. If you submit a reassessment late then it will be deemed as a fail and returned to you unmarked. Workload: This is primarily a cost report with a significant part of the works coming from calculations. The report has a word count limit of 1200 words not including any reference list, appendices, figures and tables. Typically students are expected to take up to 27 hours to complete this assignment. Feedback: Your submission will be marked against the assessment criteria described above. You shall expect to receive a marksheet showing your achievement for each criterion and an overall feedback of your submission in the format of written feedback or recorded audio feedback that highlights your strengths and weaknesses, and areas for potential improvement. Marks and Feedback on your work will normally be provided within 20 working days
