WORK DECLARATION
I, [Name of Student], hereby declare that the uploaded Coursework through Turnitin is my own work.
I affirm that this has been researched and completed in accordance with the college rules and
regulations on plagiarism.
I acknowledge the advice given by the module tutors on proper referencing to avoid plagiarism and
the rules on the academic unfair practice.
I acknowledge that I read and understand the plagiarism guide written at the end of this
assessment. Any academic misconduct will be handled according to the rules and regulations of the
university.
[Name of Student]
General instructions
Coursework must be submitted online through Turnitin before due date. An acknowledgement will
be given to you by your teacher upon presentation of the finance clearance. This is your receipt,
keep it.
The only circumstance in which assignments can be uploaded late via Turnitin is if a Mitigating
Circumstances (MC) form is submitted at the same time. In these circumstances work may be
submitted within five (5) working days. Make sure to secure MC form and submit the same to the
concerned staff.
Write the number of words used, excluding references, at the end of your assignment. Provide the
list of sources you used at the last page of your assignment with proper label ‘References’. You may
include diagrams, figures etc. without word penalty. The number of words will be + or – 10% of the
total words allowed.
A work declaration must be included just after the reference page of your assignment. This ensures
that you prepare your work in good faith. Any form of collusion and/or academic unfair practice will
be dealt with according to the pertinent rules and regulations of the partner university. Please read
carefully the plagiarism guide.
Assessment Details
This Coursework comprises 50% of the total assessments marks. This will develop the following
skills:
Analytical skills: The assignment enables the students to analyse and evaluate the benefits
of the different activities done in the class.
Research skills. This skill will eventually help them understand and evaluate the meaning,
concept and solution of percentages, powers and roots, algebraic expressions and
equations.
In addition, this Coursework will test the following learning outcomes:
Use and demonstrate understanding of basic mathematical terminology and notation
Demonstrate an ability to quantify and handle data in a variety of forms
Assignment Task
Using references to relevant theories, concepts and appropriately chosen examples about
repeated and weighted percentages, evaluation of algebraic expressions and algebraic equations,
write an assignment of 2000 words for the following topic.
1. Percentages, terms and factors.
2. The solution and discussion by providing appropriate examples when:
a. Working with repeated percentage change and weighted percentages,
b. Operation of algebraic expression, and
c. Finding the unknown variable in an algebraic equation.
Your report should contain the following:
Introduction: Introduction which will reflect the discussion about the concept of percentage,
terms and factors. (200 words equivalent)
Solution and Discussion
Solution when working with repeated percentage change for depreciation and compound
amount and weighted percentages. Student needs to provide one example for each and
discuss the solution. (600 words equivalent)
Solution when evaluating algebraic expression using addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division applying the rules of signed numbers and powers. Student needs to provide one
example having three variables for each operation and the discussion of the solution. (500
words equivalent)
Solution when simplifying fractional algebraic equation using the quadratic formula. Student
needs to provide one example and the discussion of the solution. (500 words equivalent)
Conclusion – Student needs to summarise the key points in the discussion. (200 words
equivalent)
***END OF ASSIGNMENT TASK***
Guidelines to Students:
Diagrams are an effective and efficient method of conveying information. To obtain good
marks it will be necessary to include diagrams where relevant to illustrate your discussion.
Make sure that you incorporate these diagrams fully into your reports. In other words make
sure you refer to them in your text. Information should be drawn from respected reputable
academic sources such as textbooks and academic journals, and reports from economic
think tanks.

Plagiarism
1. Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person’s words or
ideas and submitting them for assessment as though it were one’s own work, for instance by
copying, translating from one language to another or unacknowledged paraphrasing. Further
examples of plagiarism are given below:
Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons, whether
published in textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, which quotations have not
been clearly identified as such by being placed in quotation marks and acknowledged.
Use of another person’s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased to make
it look different from the original.
Summarising another person’s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer programmes
without reference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography or reference list.
Use of services of essay banks and/or any other agencies.
Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet.
Re-use of one’s own material except as authorised by the department.
2. Collusion, which can be defined as when work that has been undertaken by or with others is
submitted and passed off as solely as the work of one person. This also applies where the work
of one candidate is submitted in the name of another. Where this is done with the knowledge of
the originator both parties can be considered to be at fault.
3. Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations,
interviews or other forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any other way.
Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS)
As part of its commitment to quality and the maintenance of academic standards, the University
reserves the right to use Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS), including Turnitin. Such software makes
no judgment as to whether a piece of work has been plagiarised; it simply highlights sections of text that
have been found in other sources.
The use of plagiarism detection software fulfills two functions. The first is to enhance student learning
(i.e. as a developmental tool); the second is to guard against and identify unfair practice in assessment.
Further information and guidance can be found in the University’s policy on the Use of Plagiarism
Detection Software.
