Preview Task
The aim of this assignment is to create a baseline carbon inventory for local
restaurants in Oman in order to combat climate change. Accordingly; each student is
tasked to conduct a visit to any restaurant individually and collect the necessary
information needed to prepare and write a report. The report on carbon and energy
management investigates how the selected restaurant’s carbon management has an
impact on the environment. Determine the challenges associated to carbon and
energy management, such as improving energy efficiency, conserving water,
lowering waste production, etc., and evaluate the restaurant’s carbon footprint. As
regulations and policies relating to climate change are implemented, consider these
challenges. The assignment is limited to 3000 words and should include critical
calculation and analysis from different sources. All used information must be cited.
Important notes:
1. Get approval from the module tutor regarding the selected restaurant.
2. For your calculations, use only the factors provided by the module tutor.
The report should include the following points:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Introduction: not more than 500 words including a background about
carbon and energy management, and specifying the selected resturant
details such as: boundaries, size, location, staff commuting, activities etc.
Critical evaluation of the restaurant carbon footprint taking into account the
calculation of three scopes; scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3.
For the selected restaurant, explain and identify the issues related to
carbon and energy management such as; energy consumption and
improving energy efficiency, etc. consider sustainable development and
natural resources.
For the selected restaurant, evaluate the issues associated with the
implementation of natural policy related to climate change.
Conclusion

Academic Misconduct Definitions
•
Cheating is any deliberate attempt to deceive and covers a range of offences
described in the ICEM Policy on Unfair Means to Enhance Performance.
•
Plagiarism describes copying from the works of another person without
suitably attributing the published or unpublished works of others.
•
Collusion is an attempt to deceive the examiners by disguising the true
authorship of an assignment by copying, or imitating in close detail another
student’s work – this includes with the other student’s consent and also when
2 or more students divide the elements of an assignment amongst themselves
and copy one another’s answers.
•
Re-presentation is an attempt to gain credit twice for the same piece of work.
•
Fabrication is making up research data or results and reporting the same.
•
Falsification is manipulating the research data or results such that inaccurate
information is reported.
Accepted Similarity Index
•
The College uses an online Assessment Tool called Turnitin. Students are
required to self-submit their own assignment on Turnitin and will be given
access to the Originality Reports arising from each submission.
•
The accepted similarity percentage for an assessment is about 10%. However,
the case may still be reported for investigation if the similarity percentage is
below 10% subject to the Module Tutor’s academic judgment.
•
Similarity percentages above 10 % will be reported to the Unfair Means to
Enhance Performance Committee subject to the discussion with the Module
Tutor/justification from the Module Tutor. The case may or may not be formally
investigated.
Penalties of Academic Misconduct
All instances or allegations of the use of unfair means within summative assessment
will be investigated in line with the college UMEP policy. If an allegation is found to
be proven, then the appropriate penalty will be implemented:
•
For the first time: the penalty will be 0% for the element of assessment, the
plagiarized element of assessment must be resubmitted to the required
standard and the mark for the module following resubmission will be restricted
to the minimum pass mark (i.e. 40%).
•
In the event of a repeat offence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or representation on the same or any other module within the course; the
appropriate penalty will be 0% for the module with no opportunity for
reassessment and you being able to retake the module in a subsequent year.
Marking Criteria
The course work will be assessed and graded based on the marking criteria given
below
LEVEL SIX
FIRST
(80-100%)
FIRST
(70-79%)
UPPER SECOND
(60-69%)
Written work is directly relevant to the title. Knowledge
and understanding is comprehensive in both breadth
and depth. Student demonstrates an exceptional
ability to contextualise, to critically appreciate concepts
and their inter-relationship, and/or to relate theory with
evidence. Exceptional ability to apply, in the right
measure, the skills necessary to achieve a desired
outcome. Evidence of very extensive, if not exhaustive
reading and study beyond the course content. Clear
evidence of independent thought. The presentation is
highly sophisticated, fluent and accurate and in an
appropriate format. The material is presented in a
focused way, so as to help sustain the argument.
Citation and referencing are impeccable. The work
may be as good, if not better, than you imagine a
professional tutor could write, and is possibly of
publishable quality.

Citation and referencing are impeccable.
Written work is directly relevant to the title. The
knowledge-base is up-to-date and relevant, but may
also be broad or deep. Work reflects a thorough grasp
of concepts and of the inter-relationship, and a
significant ability to relate theory to practice. The
presentation is very good and in an appropriate format,
the material generally well-focused, reflecting a high
degree of literacy. Arguments may sometimes be

outstanding and reflective of genuine independent
thought but are not always consistently at that level.
Material is very well presented, and citation and
referencing are very good.
LOWER SECOND
(50-59%)
THIRD
(40-49%)
COMPENSATABLE
FAIL
(35-39%)
Written work is directly relevant to the title. Arguments
may be generally relevant but not necessarily
comprehensive. The student displays an awareness of
what concepts are, but the ability to conceptualise,
and/or to relate theory to evidence, is clearly limited.
Frequent use of assertion rather than argument.
Grammar and spelling sound, but perhaps with
occasional lapses. Material is well presented and in an
appropriate format. Citation and referencing are
generally good but may contain some errors.
Written work is predominantly relevant to the title.
Knowledge is adequate but limited and/or superficial,
with a tendency to inaccuracy. Limited awareness of
concepts. Limited ability to contextualise, and to relate
theory to evidence. Frequently, evidence (which may
be accurate) is deployed superficially with lack of
focus. Almost always offers description/assertion
rather than argument. Grammar may be poor, or the
linkage between paragraphs may be weak. Competent
presentation and an acceptable format, although
deficiencies are clearly evident. Citation and
referencing are present but may contain quite a few
errors.
At least 45% of material presented is relevant but there
may be limited reference to the question. A generally
poor but compensatable answer with extensive errors
and omissions, or a substantial answer on the general
topic in which the specific, central question is
misinterpreted or avoided, or a very good essay in note
form. Presentation is poor and sometimes inarticulate.
Little evidence of appropriate reading but citation and
referencing must be present, although there may be a
substantial number of errors. (Note – absence of
citation and referencing at Level 3 must be regarded
as a clear failure and must be awarded
