Module

Deadlines
Lecturers should submit module marks
to Louise no
later
than
one
week
after
the examination took place,
and by the following deadlines the latest:
Semester
1
Modules
-
26th of January 2012
Semester
2
Modules
-
6th of June 2012
August Resit Exams - 31st
of August 2012

Note that module marks undergo
a statistical analysis, and are looked at by the Examinations
Monitoring Group.
Please keep a record of the coursework marks
since these will be needed for students taking resits.
Scaling.
For module marks we distinguish between RAW MARKS and
RETURNED MARKS.
- The Raw Mark is the mark
between 0
and 100 after combining exam and coursework marks as published in the
module description. Absences from exams are reported as "abs".
- The Returned Mark is the mark
between 0 and 100 which will be reported to the student and entered
into the student's record.
Depending on the difficulty and length of
the exam, sometimes it might be necessary to make some adjustments
between raw marks and returned marks, as described below.
For level 0, 1, 2, and 3 modules,
returned
marks
between
70 and 100 are considered of class 1,
between 60 and 69 are considered of class
2.1,
between 50 and 59 are considered of class
2.2,
between
40
and
49
are
considered
of
class 3,
between 1 and 39 are considered as failed.
For level 5/M modules the following
intervals
are used for scaling purposes
70 to 100
60 to 69
50 to 59
below 50 is considered as failed
Note that a returned mark of
- 39N (for levels 0, 1, 2, 3), 49N (for level 5M) – This
should be used to indicate a marginal fail where the examiner would not
object to the grade being increased to a 40 or 50, respectively, by the
student’s Parent School Examination Board. If no ‘N’ is added to the
grade, the mark will stay as 39 or 49 (fail) and will not be able to be
considered by the Parent School.
- A mark of 0 indicates that the script is blank or contains
nothing
relevant to the examination. A mark of 0 is also appropriate in the
case of 100% coursework modules where no coursework has been submitted.
- 1 or more indicates that the student made an honest attempt
on at least one question.
- A mark of AB indicates that the student was absent for the
exam.
Lecturers will receive a scaling sheet
on which they should indicate which raw
marks were mapped to the returned marks of 40, 50, 60, and 70,
respectively (50, 60, 70 for level M).
For example, the following table shows that a raw mark of
36 was scaled to a returned mark of 40, 47 was scaled to 50, etc. Note
that marks in between
these intervals should be scaled on a piecewise linear basis.

Guidelines
for
Scaling
- Exam papers should be designed and marked in such a way
that excessive scaling can be avoided.
- It is preferable to adjust the marking scheme rather than
do a lot of scaling.
- When raw marks and returned marks differ by more than 5
marks, an explanation must be given for the scaling.
- Any scaling should be discussed with the internal assessor.
