Completing your assessment

What am I required to do on this assessment?
Choose a suitable subject and develop a health promotion campaign to address the public health issues for the subject, equivalent up to 500 words, in the form of, for example, a poster or leaflet or online advertisement.
Write a 2000-word assignment in relation to the chosen health promotion campaign identifying its importance, relevance and how it will be implemented and evaluated for effectiveness. Explore local and/or national health promotion strategy currently used to address the public health issue identified explaining why preventative health strategies are not always successful.
Every module learning outcome must be covered to pass the module.
In writing the assignment:
• Must be a Microsoft document. We cannot ensure that other formats are compatible with markers’ software resulting in work that cannot be marked.

• Arial font size 12, with 1.5 line spacing must be used, as this will assist staff when marking assignments.

• Include page numbers in the footer
• Write the number of words at the end of the assignment

• Assignment to be written in the 3rd person

• Do not copy and paste work from any source. Software that Text-matches and looks for plagiarism is used on all submissions and can identify where a student has copied or followed the wording of sources very closely and then not cited their source. Failing to acknowledge sources or copying and pasting, can result in you being referred for consideration of an assessment offence.
• Ensure that any literature search related to your submitted work has been undertaken by yourself; it is not appropriate for this to be undertaken by someone else – for example you should not request, for example, NHS Trust Library staff undertake a literature search for you
• Include one reference list at the end of the assignment (on a new page)
• A bibliography is not required
• An appendix may be used if required – for the health promotion campaign

For the Public Health campaign:

What do I need to do to pass?

To pass the module you are required to achieve a mark of 40%.
This mark will be the written assignment mark out of 90% plus the health campaign mark out of 10%. Full marks for both, added together, make 100%.

If the evidence you present does not present what you set out to do, regardless of their own merit, you may not pass.
All learning outcomes must be met to pass.
