Essay Submissions
Following the Public and EU law formative essay submission on the 5th November it has been brought to our attention that there were quite a few submission errors or problems that came up. There were quite a few non-submissions, incorrect submissions and late submissions; people submitted to eBart but not to Turnitin and some submitted to Turnitin but not to eBart. This is just a reminder that if this had been a summative essay you would have been capped at 40 if you had submitted your essay in one of the previously stated ways. It is also a reminder that you should treat formative assessments in the same way as summative ones. Formative assessments are the best way to hone, refine and tune your writing technique and they will give you important feedback on how best to improve your essays for the summative.
