Subject: Changes to assessment procedures for 2016/17

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Here is a summary of two changes in our assessment procedures for 2016/17 and one reminder.

 

·         Assessment Approval: Further to the Faculty Registrar’s email of 7/7/16, a Faculty protocol for External Examiner approval of assessments on all our taught modules has been developed and it is stored here.

There will be four deadlines for submitting coursework and exams, summarised below for 2016/17 and identified in orange within the key dates document attached. This document also includes other dates of significance and a copy is stored on the LTA Website.

·         Assessment and Feedback: Our associated procedures are stored within the Faculty LTA website here and there has been one addition: Component marks on Blackboard Grade Centre. In summary, all marks for coursework component items must be entered into Blackboard Grade Centre in 2016/17 and made visible to students after internal moderation and prior to the Board of Examiners (the new name for Assessment Boards). Coursework marks will be collected from Grade Centre by the School Offices.

 

·         Module guide template: A reminder that the Faculty has a standard template for the Assessment section of module guides. This is unchanged from last year and is available here.

 

Best wishes,

 

Phil
