Assessment Pattern - The assessment pattern of this module is 20% coursework + 80% final exam.
Format and dates for the in-term assessments - The coursework will assess material covered in the first 6 weeks of lectures, and will be available by the end of week 6 (i.e. 31st October). You will have approximately 2 weeks to work on the coursework - the deadline will be in week 8 (currently scheduled to be 13th November, but the exact date will be confirmed on the coursework).
Starting this year, a no-discount policy is in effect for approved Extenuating Circumstances claims (EC). This means that if a student
cannot sit an in-term assessment for valid reasons, and has an approved EC claim for that missed assessment, they will have to sit that
assessment at the next available opportunity. This will usually be arranged in Week 12 of the same semester where the in-term assessment
was originally due, in the form of a different assignment covering broadly the same content of the original in-term assessment.
Format of final assessment - Your final examination will be on campus. It will be 2 hours (MTH6107) or 3 hours (MTH727U/P) in duration with SpLD accommodations handled separately. You will not be allowed a calculator.

Description of Feedback -
It is very important that you participate actively in the module by staying on top of your work, asking questions and seeking feedback for your work continuously. However, it is totally normal to get stuck while doing your coursework, watching a recording or during live sessions.
Here are some avenues of support and feedback available to you:
- Ask questions during or after live lectures,
- Participate actively in the problem-solving sessions/tutorials,
- Visit me in office hours for more personalised feedback
- Query your peers and the lecturer (me!) using the student forum.
You can also contact me by email with any queries you might have, but please do consider posting to the Student Forum first, as this will benefit everybody.
Your feedback comes in many forms. It is not just written comments on a piece of homework. Please make sure that you actively engage with all these opportunities, as they are there to help you learn and gain confidence in learning new mathematics!
