Teaching, Learning & Assessment: What to Expect
• Semester 1 exams take place in January and semester 2 exams take place in May/June
• Some courses are assessed by exam only, some by coursework and exams and some by coursework only• It is important that you attend all your classes – lectures, seminars and tutorials
• Information on Blackboard (more about this later) is not a substitute for teaching in class
• Ask if you need help – seminar leaders and lecturers can help• Don’t be tempted to copy work (plagiarism), buy essays from
the internet or cheat in exams – the penalties are severe, even for a first offence…
Last year two students found cheating in first year exams had to resit all their exams and
had zero marks on their transcripts
Your First Year• You need to pass your first year to proceed to the second year – your overall mark does not count towards your final degree classification, but is still important
• Pass everything (40%+ in 120 credits)
• Pass 40%+ in 100 or 110 credits and a “compensatable fail” (30-39%) in 10 or 20 credits
• If you fail 30 credits or more (<40%) = RESITS
• If you fail any course below 30% = RESITS
• Resits take place in August/September; they are not a ‘second chance’ to gain better grades, only the chance to gain credits lost
• If you fail resits, this may mean that you are required to take additional courses in your second year, have to retake exams and wait a year to join the second year or have to leave university
