7.7. Preparation and Submission of Coursework

7.7.1 General information for all submissions
  • For information on deadlines for submitting work, please refer to the Course Calendar.
  • All projects are to be submitted on-line using the online Inspera coursework submission system.
  • You must submit one electronic file. Any subsidiary programming or other files must be included, as an appendix, within this single file. If you are unsure as to how to do this please contact for further advice. mathcompfin@maths.ox.ac.uk. (Occasionally these instructions may vary. In such cases full details will be given to students at the time.)
  • Please ensure that you give your candidate number on your assignment and no other identifying information - i.e. do not add your name, college, etc.
  • Please ensure the document is named as your candidate number (e.g. 245678.pdf)
  • In the extremely unlikely event that there does seem to be some technical problem and you are concerned that your work has not been submitted please email it immediately to the administrator
    at mathcompfin@maths.ox.ac.uk, with a copy of the Declaration of Authorship to attest that it is your own work, except where indicated.

The Declaration of Authorship can be found in the ‘Related Documents’ panel here:
https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/submission
NB: You only fill in this form if you are submitting it via email.

It is vital that you submit your work by the deadline, as any late submission, even one minute late, must be reported to the Examiners. If you experience a medical emergency or other catastrophe which threatens to prevent you from submitting on time please contact mathcompfin@maths.ox.ac.uk and your College Office as soon as circumstances allow to explain the situation.

All submitted projects and dissertations will be screened by Turnitin software which will compare them to a wide range of material (both published and unpublished) and to the work of other candidates. The examiners will be notified of the extent of any textual matches discovered by Turnitin, and will consider, for instance, whether any text that a candidate has copied from elsewhere is properly identified and the source duly acknowledged. Any suspected cases of plagiarism will be forwarded to the Proctors and may result in a direct fail.

7.7.2 Dissertation

When preparing the dissertation candidates are strongly advised to use LATEX to typeset.

An electronic copy of your dissertation must be submitted to the online Inspera coursework submission system by noon on Friday of Week 10 of Trinity Term.

Submitted electronic dissertations will be screened by Turnitin software which will compare them to a wide range of material (both published and unpublished) and to the work of other candidates. The examiners will
be notified of the extent of any textual matches discovered by Turnitin, and will consider, for instance, whether any text that a candidate has copied from elsewhere is properly identified and the source duly acknowledged.
