Assessment Code of Practice advises:
Using the format: Coursework # Title (##%) for your assignment title, e.g. ‘Coursework 1 Post-modernist painters Essay (40%)’. This will help you and your students locate the assessment and make it clear how the student’s final grade is calculated.
Students' compliance with the student declaration at the point of submission, the declaration can be found in the Learning Object Repository

“Marks provided on Blackboard Ultra are subject to ratification by the Board of Examiners and may be subject to change. Please note that as these marks are provisional, they do not necessarily include any penalties applied for academic misconduct”.
N.B. The declaration and disclaimer are included in the 25/26 Blackboard module template.
