Finally, if more than one or two sources have been cited, a Reference section should be compiled. Laboratory classes will generally provide guidance on this as well as other aspects of report writing. The References section is compiled by listing the publications, data sheets, www pages, unpublished documents or private communications, etc., in the References section, and by referring to them at appropriate points in the text of the Report or in figure captions. It is to be expected that a marking penalty will be applied to written work in which the References section is inadequate. •
•
Papers should have author, title of paper, title of Journal, volume, pages, date/year. •
Books should have author, title, publisher, date/year. •
Internet sources should have author and address/organisation (if known), full URL, date of access. •
Unpublished material should be referred to as such or as “private communication” and the source’s name and address should be given together with title and date if appropriate. The precise format to be adopted is at the discretion of the author, but a consistent format must be used. Examples will be seen in the literature, and below. References must be cited either by number (if they are numbered) or by author and date. References 1.

A PPENDIX 3 – S AFETY R EGULATIONS FOR U NDERGRADUATES Head of School: Prof M J Griffin, Room N/1.04, Tel. 74785. Safety Coordinator: Mr D J Beaumont-Walker, Room N/-1.09, Tel. 75119. It is the duty of everyone to take reasonable care for the health and safety of himself/herself and of other persons. There is also a legal duty not to interfere with, or misuse, any appliance provided in the interests of health and safety, and to co-operate with anybody who is responsible for health and safety. It is the policy of the University to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of its members. One aspect of this policy is the provision of instructions and information concerning your health and safety within the School. With these points in mind read the following regulations. They form part of your instructions for safe working and must be kept for future reference. If you have a query about any aspect of safety in the School you should consult your year Tutor or one of the persons named above. If in doubt, always ask. 1. Accidents 1.1 In the event of an accident the health and safety of any person involved is the most important consideration and must take precedence over any other matter. 1.2 If an accident has occurred in the laboratory, the person concerned must immediately raise this to the attention of the lab supervisor or a demonstrator. 1.3 First aid may be given, by a qualified First Aider, in the case of minor injuries. In cases of doubt, medical assistance must be sought. 1.4 For medical assistance ring the University Emergency Services internal extension number 999 (at any time). 1.5 If an ambulance is called it should be instructed to come to the Trevithick Building Security Lodge, The Parade, off West Grove, postcode CF24 3AA. 1.6 First Aid boxes are located at strategic points throughout the School; a list of current First Aiders will be displayed near to the box and in laboratories and stairwells. Everyone should ensure that they know the location of those near to their usual place(s) of work. 1.7 An Accident Report Form, available from the General Office (Room N/1.04), must be completed as soon as possible after an accident has occurred. 1.8 When an accident is reported to a member of the academic staff he/she must initiate any action that may still be necessary.
The University emergency services can be reached by dialling 999 on any internal phone. The Security staff will then initiate any necessary action.
In the case of a fire or any other emergency procedure which necessitates immediate evacuation of the building, the fire alarm will emit a continuous tone. Everyone should make sure that they know the location of the escape routes from their place(s) of work to the nearest fire exits. The assembly region for people from all parts of the School is The Parade. Assistance will be provided, if necessary, by technical staff and laboratory demonstrators. All staff, students, visitors and contractors must evacuate the building and return only when they have been informed that it is safe to do so by the Security staff or a Fire Warden. There are no exceptions to this rule. Any staff, student or visitor (other than short term) with a physical, hearing or sight impairment which affects their mobility or their use of the buildings may have their own personal emergency evacuation plan (PEEP). Staff and/or students should provide assistance if requested.

4. Individuals with disabilities or abnormal susceptibilities Any student who has a disability which may affect their safety in the laboratory is urged to discuss this with the Disability Contact and the laboratory supervisor. This would include any temporary issue; for instance, due to an accident elsewhere. Persons suffering from epilepsy, diabetes or any other condition which could cause temporary incapacity are urged, in their own interest, to inform the Head of School, in writing, of their disability whether or not they have reported it to other University authorities. Asthma sufferers should include this information in Risk Assessments involving the use of chemicals. 5. Laboratory work outside timetabled hours It is possible for an undergraduate to work in the laboratory outside normal timetabled times. Before starting such work a student must obtain approval from the appropriate laboratory technician in person and notify them when the work is finished. No undergraduate is allowed to work in any laboratory unless another person, who knows how to summon assistance in the event of an accident, is present. (This last condition does not apply to individual darkrooms, but see the technician concerned.) 6. Project work outside timetabled times Under exceptional circumstances third-year and fourth-year undergraduates may need to do project work outside the normal laboratory times which, for the current session, are 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., Monday to Friday inclusive, during term time. Before doing such work a student must have written authorisation from their laboratory supervisor who will explain any other conditions which must be fulfilled.
Undergraduates may only use workshop machines under an appropriate level of supervision by a member of the academic or technical staff.
Undergraduates must follow the instructions of any member of the academic or technical staff or any laboratory demonstrator on a matter concerned with safety or security in the School.
The assessment of Risk is an important aspect of all experimental work. Risks associated with experiments in Years 1 and 2 will be highlighted within the appropriate lab manual. These should be discussed at the start of the lab sessions and the student is expected to write their own risk assessment before starting the experiment. It is a requirement for all Year 3 and 4 students to carry out a Risk Assessment of their project work. This should be performed at the initial stages of the project and up-dated as necessary. Advice on performing the assessment is available from your project supervisor and from the Safety Coordinator. All activities in the School are subject to the COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) Regulations. Substances used in experiments have been assessed for risk, and undergraduates must know the risk associated with each substance used. Laboratory supervisors will provide this information. Page 58
A PPENDIX 4 – S UPPORTING S TUDENTS WITH D ISABILITIES The School takes care to support all its students so that they can reach their full potential and participate fully in the Schools activities, but it recognises that some students require adjustments to programmes of study or assessment requirements because of a declared disability. This Appendix gives a brief overview of the School’s procedures for helping support students with disabilities. Fuller documentation will be provided to all those students with declared disabilities (and it is also available on the School’s web site). The Disability and Dyslexia Service (DYSLX) Specialist support for students is provided by the University’s Disability and Dyslexia Service (DYSLX), but the School will also assist students with accessing the support if desired. If you are a current student and you disclosed a disability on your application form or since arriving, DYSLX should have been in contact with you. If this has not happened, please feel free to ask one of the School Disability Contacts to alert DYSLX on your behalf.
School Procedures on Receipt of Notification of Student Disability The University’s Disability and Dyslexia Service (DYSLX) sends a letter to the School discussing the needs of each individual student with dyslexia, disabilities and sensory impairments. This letter constitutes a formal communication to the School of the individual support requested by the student from DYSLX and also the support being requested of the School. The School tries to comply with all requests made of it. On receiving the letter from DYSLX, the Disability Contact instigates the following course of action: 1.
contacts. We review any requirements and adjustments. If it is felt necessary, we request permission for limited disclosure (e.g. to a tutor or module organiser), but we emphasise that confidentiality is respected at all times. 2.
Where requested, special provision is made for in-house tests or exams (e.g. extra time). Extra time, the use of an amanuensis, requirements for an alternative venue etc. in formal examinations is handled centrally by the University. 3.
The School has specific policies on further adjustments which can reasonably be made for various forms of continual assessment, laboratory work, projects and in-house tests and examination; these are available on request and are given to all students with declared disabilities.
While physics is largely a numerate discipline, the expectations of employers are such that it is essential that graduates have been trained in such skills as report-writing. Therefore students are expected to achieve learning outcomes related to accuracy and correctness of written language, independent of the content of written work. Students will be required to demonstrate this ability with access to supporting technologies or materials (e.g. when completing coursework), but need not demonstrate it under exacting time constraints. Therefore: 1.
In University Examinations, errors in spelling and grammar will not be penalised by markers unless the meaning is obscured. 2.
University Examinations. Students are advised to check this provision with the Office. 3.
Where a student’s writing does not make sense, and it is not clear that they have demonstrated the appropriate knowledge, markers will not attempt to re-interpret what the student might have meant. 4.
dissertations or similar coursework, which would normally be word-processed. All students will be expected to reach the standards available from proprietary software tools.
