Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessment
Assessment submission and assessment is managed in different ways depending on the type of assessment. The assessment description will explain how your work will be assessed and how to submit it if that is required.
An overall mark of 50% and a minimum of 40% in the final exam is required to pass this paper. Students who fall just below these requirements may be awarded an RP grade which counts as a pass but does not permit the paper to be used as a pre-requisite. The final exam is the only ‘compulsory assessment item’. If you do not attend the exam, you will receive an IC grade for the paper (unless you make a successful special consideration application). Note that you are extremely unlikely to pass this paper by only completing the "compulsory" assessment item (the final exam), even with the exam weighted at two thirds.
Your final grade will be based on a ratio of the internal work to the exam of 2:1 or 1:2, which ever is in your favour. The information and the table below is the most common case which is 2/3 internal and 1/3 exam. Halve the internal components and double the exam to get an approximation of the other weightings.
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 33:67 or 67:33, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 67% or 33% of the overall mark.
