Analytical Techniques in Heritage Crime Coursework AssignmentFor this module you will produce a 3000 word (+1%) written report (MS word) that critically evaluates the nature of and threats to a Heritage asset (national or international) of your choice. You will be expected to research any relevant legislation. You should critically evaluate the use of scientific analytical techniques used in the identification, protection, and management of the heritage, and address any relevant ethical considerations. You will be required to use search engines and instrumentation software to visualise your findings using figures or tables as appropriate. In your report, you should introduce the heritage asset, explain why it was selected and evaluate the threats to the asset. You will need to address the legislation used to protect the heritage; address the management of the asset, and the scientific approach, including instrumentation, used to address the impact of the threat. Your report should include the following sections: •Title Page •Abstract •Introduction •Main body sections–relevant to the chosen topic (choose suitable headings) •Discussion •Conclusion •References •Page Numbers Step 1: read and review journalsUse the journals on BBU as a starter, then use scopus or similar from the library links to research and review supporting journals. Use the weblinks to ensure you read around the subject areas. Step 2: FormatThe format and style of the report should conform to instructions which are based on those published by the journal Science and Justice; Forensic Science International, etc.
In addition to the Standard University Level 7 University Marking Criteriathe following criteria will be used to assess the written report: •Structureincluding an introduction, main body, discussion, and conclusion with effective use of paragraphs, fluent and succinct writing. [PTS1] •Subject Knowledgeshowing a comprehensive understanding and critical awareness of current problems facing chosen heritage asset. [RKC1] [PS2] •Use of Figures and Tablesdemonstrating a sophisticated understanding of the digital software used to process, analyse, and visualise heritage data. All images, maps, data tables are relevant to the topic and properly formatted and referenced. [PTS2] [PS2] •Analysis and Argumentproviding a critical evaluation of the processes used to manage the asset and the heritage crime, including a critical evaluation of relevant scientific instrumentation and ethical issues. The relevant content will be logically developed, with well synthesised explanations. [PTS3] [RKC2] [PS1] •Use of Evidence:The essay is based on evidence from multiple peer reviewed sources. Full acknowledgement of sources integrated throughout. The adheres to the specified parameters. Written work may be submitted for Formative Feedbackin Week 5 (4pm Fri 25thOct 2024) and Week 9 (4pm Fri 22ndNov 2024) as follows: Week 5 –Topic Choice–what heritage asset have you chosen, why have you chosen it, why is it important? 500 words max.Week 9 –Analytical Techniques–what analytical techniques are utilised in relation to your asset? 500 words max.The final report is to be submitted via BBU by 4pm on Friday 13thDecember 2024Please use the Harvard referencingsystem: https://libguides.tees.ac.uk/referencing_OLIf you have questions about this assignment please email Becki Scott (r.scott@tees.ac.uk).
The report will meet the following Learning Outcomes for the module: Personal and Transferable Skills:PTS1–Produce a written report suitable for professional practice, communicating complex academic or professional issues clearly. PTS2–Demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of digital software used to process, analyse and visualise heritage data. Use digital computational tools to prepare a critical report on heritage crime. PTS3–Use own judgement to make evidence-based interpretations relating to the critical evaluation of heritage crime, and present these in a professional report. Research, Knowledge, and Cognitive Skills: RKC1–Critically review the impact of National and International heritage crime, demonstrating a critical awareness of current problems within this area. RKC2–Critically evaluate scientific instrumentation used in heritage crime. Professional Skills PS1–Critically evaluate ethical issues in heritage studies. PS2–Act with autonomy when handling complex chemical, biological and digital data sets. AI Permission and Declaration of Generative AI Use This module has an AI Permission of Amber. You can, if you wish, use Generative AI as a companion for specific tasks, explicitly permitted by the Module Leader when producing your assessment: •You MAYuse generative AI to summarize specific legislation to help you understand the content. •You MAYuse generative AI to review the amount of descriptive content in your report. •You MAYuse generative AI to create captions for your figures and tables.
•You MAY NOTuse generative AI to write any aspect of the report itself (other than captions for figures and tables). •You MAY NOTuse generative AI to create any figures or tables. •You MAY NOTuse generative AI in the creation of citations and references. If you choose to use AI assistance with your report in one or more of the above mentioned ways, you MUSTinclude an appendix stating the prompts you used and outline to which section(s) of the report they relate. This is in addition to completing the declaration outlined below. When you submit an assessment, you are declaring the following: I understand that to use the work and ideas of others, including AI generated output, without full acknowledgement, is academic misconduct. I confirm that this assessment submission is all my own, original work and that all sources, summaries, paraphrases, and quotes are fully referenced as required by the University’s Academic Misconduct Regulations (relating to Taught Provision and Advanced Independent Work on Professional Doctorate courses). More information on academic misconduct can be found in the Academic Misconduct Regulations (relating to Taught Provision and Advanced Independent Work on Professional Doctorate courses) which are available at the following link here. The Title Page of your Assignment should include one of the following statements: DECLARATION OF GENERATIVE AI USE (delete one of the following as appropriate): •I DID NOT use Generative AI technology in the development, writing, or editing of this assignment. •I DID use Generative AI technology in the development, writing, or editing of this assignment. If you DID use Generative AI technology in your Assignment, please provide detailed responses in the Appendix of your assignment to the following items (1-3) and include statement (4):
1. Specify the reasons and purposes for using Generative AI technology in this assignment.
