Due Date

This work is to be submitted by Friday 31st July 2015. Note that the deadline for full-time students is 16.00hrs and for registered part-time students it is 19.00hrs (local UK time). This assignment should be submitted electronically via Turnitin as a PDF file only.  Access the module site in UCB Online and visit the ‘Assignments’ section.  Here you will find the submission link you will need to use in order to submit your assignment (see ‘View Assignment’ link in the example below).

IMPORTANT!  It is your responsibility to ensure you submit the correct piece of work as a PDF file only and that you submit it to the correct submission point.  You can identify the correct submission point by the period in which you are required to submit it and by assessment.  As an example only, the submission point for Semester 1 Coursework 1 would appear as S1 CW1 as in the example below.

You should aim to submit your assignment 24 hours before the deadline. Work submitted via alternative methods e.g email will NOT be accepted.  You are strongly advised to take advantage of the ability to submit multiple times before the deadline.  This will enable you to test and familiarise yourself with the submission procedure so that you can resolve any problems before the actual assignment Due Date.

Once the Due date has passed, you can only submit your assignment if you have not already made a submission.  Each subsequent submission will overwrite a previous submission and therefore the most recent file submitted will be the one that is marked.

Assignment Remit

You are required to write a concise essay of approximately 1500 words that critically evaluates and discusses the use of the Walkthrough Audit as a tool to aid consistency in service performance in bar and restaurant operations.

Please note that you must submit your work through ‘Turnitin’ as a PDF file only and as outlined in the guide for submission. You are required to state the number of words at the end of your essay.

It is expected that references to academic texts will include only those available in the UCB library or available via UCB e-resources.

This supportive information is to your benefit to demonstrate your research activity, provide reassurance as to its integrity and thus be reflected in a balanced and fair assessment of your efforts.
