17 6.0 MARKING AND ASSESSMENT 6.1 Academic Regulations The University’s Academic Regulations govern all aspects of assessment and those concerning postgraduate assessment can be found in Section 4.2 (www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-regulations). 6.2 Marking and grades The University provides you with marks and grades for the work that you submit for assessment. The detailed requirements of assessment in each module are specified in module booklets, together with indicative assessment criteria associated with different levels of performance and results. Each component of assessed work is assigned a percentage mark with a pass/fail threshold at 50%. At postgraduate level, degrees are awarded according to the overall average mark obtained for all modules and the dissertation, with classification thresholds for each grade of award as follows: 70% and above Masters degree with Distinction 60% - 69.99% Masters degree with Merit 50% - 59.99% Masters degree 0% - 49.99% Fail At the end of each semester, module results and awards are confirmed by Assessment Boards (Subject Standards Boards and Awards Boards). Assessment Boards uphold the academic standards of your course and ensure that each student is treated fairly and equally through the assessment process. 6.3 Your responsibilities concerning Assessment You have a responsibility to ensure that all coursework assessments are completed in accordance with the published deadlines and that all examinations are attended in accordance with the published timetable. While there are opportunities to be re-assessed in assignments and examinations (see 6.10 below) you should be aware that, under the University’s Academic Regulations, if you pass the module on reassessment your overall module mark will be capped at the bare pass mark level of 50%. 6.4 Academic Misconduct You are also responsible for ensuring that all work submitted is your own, and that it is appropriately referenced. The University does not tolerate cheating of any kind. You are strongly advised to familiarise yourself with the Academic Misconduct Procedures, which list a range of categories of academic misconduct and associated penalties, covering instances of academic misconduct (plagiarism, collusion, exam cheating). From the outset of your studies you should receive information and guidance on referencing conventions and group work activities and on how to ensure that you do not contravene the University’s Procedures. If you are unsure about referencing, paraphrasing or group work activities, you should seek advice as soon as possible from the Module Tutor, your PAA or the Students’ Union. An interactive guide on preventing plagiarism containing student views on plagiarism, interactive demonstrations on how to reference and quizzes can be accessed at: http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/TLTC/learnhigher/Plagiarism/ Further information can be accessed at: www.londonmet.ac.uk/academic-misconduct
6.5 Assessment Feedback 18 Assessment feedback is a critical part of your learning experience and supports successful achievement on your course. Feedback can be: diagnostic – it provides an indicator of your aptitude and preparedness for study and can identify your strengths and weaknesses. formative – it provides you with feedback on progress on your work. The work may or may not contribute to the overall module grade. summative – it provides a measure of achievement or failure in respect of your performance in relation to intended learning outcomes for a piece of assessment. During your course you will probably receive feedback in a number of different forms. in teaching sessions to the whole class or to you individually; orally or in writing; written using a feedback sheet on your work; during the module as well as at the end. Your assessment tasks may be set for submission during the semester or towards the end of the semester. For this course the beginning of the semester is not a fixed date but the date of actual starting as negotiated with the Course Leader. You should note carefully the following details For coursework submitted up to the end of teaching week 9 of a semester i) Your marked coursework and accompanying feedback should normally be returned to you during module sessions. Alternative arrangements may be made, for example, where the assessment involves bulky pieces of coursework. For coursework submitted after teaching week 9 of a semester i) Your tutor’s feedback (without the coursework) will be available for collection either from your module lecturer or from the Postgraduate Office. ii) The marked work with your tutor’s comments will be available for collection two weeks after the formal publication of the result. iii) Any unclaimed work will be kept for a period of 6 months following publication of the result, after which it will be destroyed. All arrangements for coursework and feedback return will normally be stated in module booklets. This should include: due dates for coursework submission; dates when coursework feedback will be distributed in class (for work submitted up to the end of week 9); dates when coursework feedback can be collected from the module lecturer or the Postgraduate Centre (for work submitted after week 9); the format by which assessment feedback will be given; the process by which coursework can be collected two weeks following the publication of the result concerned. 6.6 Submission of coursework Unless you are given formal guidance to do otherwise (e.g. for some design work or work to be submitted via WebLearn), written coursework must be submitted via email directly to the module leader.
