Each assessment is assigned a specific weighting and together, these are used to
calculate the final mark for the module. There is no supplementary assessment
opportunity for a CASS module. Should a student miss any of their online tests, they
must download the Application for a Re-test form from the Assessment Office page
on ECI and submit it to via the email address provided on the form.
Class Task
There will be one, comprehensive, online class task using MS Forms. The class task
will be based on Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 and will be conducted during Term 4. Your
lecturer will give you greater detail on the online class task during the semester. The
class task will contribute 25% towards your overall mark for the module.

and
submit your assignment to the correct Turnitin assignment submission activity
within the ECI module site – this will ensure that your assignment document is
submitted both to Embury and to Turnitin, where an originality check will be
performed, and a similarity report generated.
Please note that part of the process of submitting your assignments online is putting
your assignments through Turnitin which is a service that checks your document for
issues like plagiarism and other referencing issues. Turnitin will produce a report for
each document you've submitted within 24 hours which will show if your assignments
were copied (even in part) from somewhere or someone else (even yourself). If the
Turnitin report shows that your work is too similar to another submission or to other
sources, you'll have to redo your assignments and submit it to Turnitin once again
before Embury will accept it to be marked. Embury will not mark any assignments
with a Turnitin score that exceeds the maximum allowed percentage stated in the
Plagiarism Policy. The percentage of similarity that is allowed per module depends
on your programme and year of study. You can access the Plagiarism Policy on ECI
to find out what percentage of similarity is permissible for this module.
To allow yourself time to review the Turnitin report and rework your assignment
where required, we suggest that you submit your assignment at least two weeks
before the official hand-in date. Your submissions will be made via the assignment
submission activity on ECI. Embury will use the assignments and the Turnitin reports
on the official hand-in date as your final assignment for marking.

economic, social and environmental progress. This progress can only be considered
true development if the quality of life and standard of living of all people in a country
is improved, not just the middle class and the wealthy. This is a holistic endeavour
which, due to the extensive scope, can appear quite daunting at first however due to
the large scope there are many places that governments can apply their leadership
to improving their citizens' lives.
This research assignment requires you to first discuss the importance and need for
development. Secondly, you need to identify and discuss some of the ways that
governments, more specifically the South African government, can develop our
nation.
You must use a minimum of eight academic articles on the topic and further
