Practical Assessments: Marks are awarded for completing the practical units, the end of unit examination (BIOL10401/10412/10422) and for completing written coursework.
Satisfactory attendance is also required. For both practical units BIOL10401 and BIOL10412/10422, this is defined as attending at least 80% of the practical sessions (which includes completing prelab work online). Penalties will be applied for unsatisfactory attendance (under 80%) and attendance of less than 50%, for any reason, will result in automatic failure of these units, resulting in a referral practical exam during the May/June exam period. For the EDM practical units, each unmitigated absence will incur a penalty of 10%. If you miss part of this assessment through illness (see Section Absence due to illness affecting attendance at compulsory classes/tutorials), the examiners may base your overall mark for the unit on the marks for the remaining pieces of work that you did complete.
Failure to complete the Writing and Referencing Skills module BIOL10741 satisfactorily (>70%) will result in a failure of BIOL10000 and will require a re-sit assessment (online) to be completed during the summer vacation.
