COURSEWORK AND ASSESSMENT NORMAL TRACK: Students will be expected to prepare essays for formal assessment and to undertake a compulsory in-class assessment. Assessment will consist of three elements: 1. Coursework amounting to 3,000 words in total to be made up of two assignments of 1,500 words each, to be submitted by weeks 10 and 20. These assignments will account for 60% of the total marks. The deadline for submission of coursework to the class tutor is the final class of the term (week 11 for essay one, and week 22 for essay two). Assignments submitted after the final class of the term will not be assessed without unless a mitigating circumstances form and supporting evidence has been submitted (further information see Student Handbook). 2. A compulsory in-class assessment of 1.5 hours which will carry 40 % of the possible marks. This will take place in week 22. There will be a central re-sit date allocated for those who provide evidence that they cannot attend the unseen assessment in week 22. 3. In-class participation is assessed on a pass/fail basis. Criteria include regular contributions to class (e.g. group-work, discussions, mini-presentations or other exercises), awareness of required reading, listening/communication skills. All assessment must be passed to be eligible for credit. Please keep a copy of all work you submit. You may produce up to two trial assignments if you wish which can be used for feedback. The course lecturer will give suggestions for improvement. These will NOT go forward for final assessment The in-class test will take the form of unseen questions to be answered within 2 hours. Your lecturer will advise you of the date of the in-class test which may be outside your class time. Failure and Re-assessment of a Module Re-take for modules where a student obtained less than 30% at first attempt. In this case the student will be required to re-enrol on the module, attend lectures and classes and retake all the assessment associated with that module. A module mark achieved under this mode will not be capped at the pass mark. Note that: students re-taking a module will be charged for the module. Re-assessment for modules where a student obtained between 30% and 39% on the first attempt. The student is not required to attend lectures and will only need to re-attempt any failed element of that module (in most cases, the examination). Note that a reassessment will be capped at the pass mark 40% (this is a new College policy and applies to all students in 2015/16). If an application for consideration of mitigating circumstances has been accepted and a deferral awarded by the sub-board, the reassessment may be submitted without penalty and the reassessment will not be capped at the pass mark. Further information about Alternative Assessment, Re-assessment & Re-takes, and a Compensated Fail can be found in the ‘Common Award Scheme Regulations’ document located on the My Birkbeck website: www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/services/rules/casregs.pdf Please note students cannot re-sit in order to improve a pass mark. Courses often evolve from one year to the next, with changes in content and emphasis and it is your responsibility to keep track of any variations in the syllabus. If you require further guidance about re-assessments, please contact your Programme Director.
