Coursework is marked by the staff member who set the assignment.
External Examiners then subject the work to further scrutiny to ensure appropriate standards of marking from an external point of view. The Department seeks to be aware of the response of students to modules and degree programmes and to act upon areas giving concern. At the end of a module students are invited to complete an official University feedback form and to add their own comments if they wish. Data obtained from the completed forms is analysed and used in the compilation of programme reports. Module tutors make themselves aware of individual comments made by students and respond by email covering the points raised.
