Assessment
Your tutorial assignments will be assigned and marked by your Academic Tutor. Feedback will be provided for all exercises you undertake during tutorials. Your overall tutorial mark will be based on marked assignments given over the course of the academic year and therefore, if you deliberately or accidentally skip an assignment, your mark will be brought down. In order to pass the whole Tutorial Unit, two separate elements are required:
- You have to obtain a mark of at least 40% in your tutorial assignments, averaged over the two semesters.
- You must have satisfactory attendance at tutorials and the associated plenary sessions.
Students who fail to attend all their tutorials or who have a mean mark for their tutorial assignments of less than 40% will fail the Tutorial unit. Compensation for partial failure of the examinations is available only to students who have passed their Tutorial unit. In addition, students who fail their Tutorial unit are required to complete an extended essay during the summer vacation.
