Each competency should have a word count apportionable to the overall word count. Set out each
competency under level 1 and 2 sub headings, again with an apportionable word count for each
level within each competency.
General guidance on levels are below, for more details on your chosen competencies reference
above document.
Level 1 – is about technical knowledge and understanding.
Level 2 – is about the application of knowledge and understanding.
Level 3 – is about giving reasoned advice and/or depth of technical knowledge.
This assignment is a reflective exercise. As a result, draw on your own personal experiences to show
how you achieved the level required. Ideally based on your quantity surveying work to date. If you
cannot relate to your discipline work experience then relate to other work experience, and finally if
you cannot relate to either work experience, then use your life experience.

Written Report
Students will be expected to submit a spiral bound copy and upload an electronic version of the
submission in pdf format to the TurnItIn link on Blackboard. This pdf file must be an exact replica of
the hard copy submission. The report will be typed on one side of A4 sheets, using 12 point Arial font
and 1.5 line spacing. The report should contain the following:
a) One title page;
b) One page containing a declaration of originality (in accordance with IT Carlow policy)
c) A table of contents;
d) List of figures (if applicable)
e) List of tables (if applicable)
f) List / definition of abbreviations used
g) An introduction;
h) Discussion
i) Interpretation of results and conclusions;
j) A list of references and, if appropriate, a bibliography;
k) Appendices as appropriate
The body of the report (g to j above) should contain not less than 1,700 and no more than 1,900 words, exclusive of the
preliminary pages, the references, bibliography and appendices.
Generally, abbreviations should not be used, but where universally recognized abbreviations are used, then they should be
listed and defined in a section at the beginning of the report.
Referencing System
The report should use the Harvard System of Referencing. The Teaching and Learning Centre at Institute of Technology,
Carlow have produced a booklet on the use of this system and all students should ensure that they have a copy and that
they adhere to the guidelines therein. The use of foreign-language source material to support a thesis or argument is
permitted. However, the onus would be on the student to provide, at the very minimum, an attested translated version of
such material in order to facilitate a reasonable evaluation. In order to avoid adding to your word count within the body of
the dissertation the translation could be added as an appendix at the back.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is not permitted. Material from the work of others (whether code, text, diagram or other) should be fully
acknowledged. Material based on the work of others (research, for example, phrased in your own words) should include a
reference list or bibliography in the standard format. The Institute’s official declaration on work origin must be included in
your dissertation, and signed in any printed copy of the dissertation.
