The paper will cover the three non-core modules plus associated seminar work, field visits and reading. Three questions to be answered. The papers are marked by a team of examiners, including the external examiner.
All marking is anonymous.
Each question is first marked by the lecturer setting the question and then marked independently by a second marker. The two markers will then agree to a final mark. In the event of an unresolved difference of opinion between the two examiners the external examiner is the final arbiter. The marks for each candidate are totalled, grades assigned and borderline cases identified. Each student's final grade is considered individually at an examiners' meeting and by the external examiner.
