ASSESSMENT AND EXAMINATIONS

Assessment methods

A variety of methods of assessment are used in the School. Many modules have no written examination but are assessed by essays or projects. Class presentations or quizzes may also be part of the assessment. A few modules have only a written examination. In all cases you should check the details on QMplus and be sure that you fulfil all obligations and meet all deadlines.

Each piece of assessment for a particular module is given a percentage weighting. For example, a module might be assessed by a group presentation (30%) and a 2500-word essay (70%). Failure to complete any part of the assessment (such as by not submitting a piece of coursework or missing a written examination) will result in a mark of 0% for that item, which may lead to failure of the whole module.
