How will my marks be decided? Your work is assessed in terms of its ability to demonstrate the learning outcomes for the module. You’ll see the exact assessment criteria in each module handbook. The levels of achievement are categorized in percentages. Marks at module level 70 -100% Excellent 60 - 69% Very good 50 - 59% Good 40 - 49% Adequate 0 - 39% Not good enough to achieve a pass How marks are used in degree classification The final degree classification is formulated as follows: 70 -100% 1st Class Honours 60 - 69% 2nd Class Honours Upper Division (2:1) 50 - 59% 2nd Class Honours Lower Division (2:2) 40 - 49% 3rd Class Honours How will I receive feedback on my work? Your learning is supported by regular group tutorials and project critiques where formative feedback is given by peers and tutors so that you can improve your work in progress. Feedback on work for summative assessment is given in electronic form for ease of access. You will receive this within 20 working days after the hand-in deadline, sometimes sooner, although any reference to marks will always be provisional until confirmed by the Assessment Board in the Summer. You’ll be expected to reflect critically on your achievement across projects and modules during ‘personal and professional development’ tutorials and portfolio reviews where you’ll be able to make use of the various types of feedback you have received on your work. Where can I find the University’s assessment regulations? Your progression from Level 4 to Level 5 and from Level 5 to Level 6, and your graduation and classification, are all subject to satisfying the University’s assessment and progression regulations. These regulations are available on the University Website: http://www.tees.ac.uk/docs/ index.cfm?folder=student%20 regulations&name=Assessment%20Regulations Click on ‘Academic Regulations’ where you will find ‘Framework for assessment, Award and Progression Regulations’. There is also a section explaining ‘Assessment Review’ Regulations and student complaints procedures. If you have any difficulty accessing or understanding the information, please do discuss this with one of your tutors.
Who owns the rights to my work? External Examiners Students often ask questions about how we know that their degree is broadly of the same standard as degrees awarded for similar courses by other universities. In the UK we have a system called external examining, which is one of several ways that we confirm that standards are met. An external Examiner is generally an experienced lecturer from another university who offers an independent view as to whether the work of students on the course is of the correct standard. The External Examiner does this by looking at a sample of work (e.g. assignments, exam answers, dissertations), discussing the work with your lecturers and attending the assessment boards to endorse results. They then produce an annual report which tells us about any concerns they have and any good practice they have identified. The External Examiners’ reports are made available to student representatives and School representatives. You can also request the relevant External Examiner report for your course by emailing: QMEResponse@tees.ac.uk In common with other Higher Education Institutions, undergraduate and taught master’s degree students own the intellectual property rights in the work that they produce for their programmes of study. However, there are limited exceptions to this, and these are set out, in full, in the Student IP Policy. This Policy, along with the University’s Regulations, can be found on the Student pages of the University Website: http://www. tees.ac.uk/docs/index.cfm?folder=student%20regulations The main External Examiner for Product Design is Gordon Young and he works at Sheffield Hallam University. Sometimes your modules may have a different External Examiner and your module leader can provide details, on request. Please note that students are not permitted to contact External Examiners directly and External Examiners will not respond to any communication from individual students. If you have any concerns about your course, then please speak to your programme leader.
