year 3 students for course choices refer to

intranet – ‘course choices’

deadline 14 June 2004

possible alterations the info provided on the web is not final check your email or the web page for

possible updates


year 3 students – project allocation

http://www.mcs.gold.ac.uk/~mas01sd/alloc1/

who is not on the list should email Sebastian

choice of supervisor each member of staff has allocated a

fixed number of projects


Progression and Degree


Progression pass

overall cw and exam mark: above 35%

first year (ft) no re-sit: 3 cu at level 1 re-sit: 4 cu at level 1

second year (ft) no re-sit: 3 cu at level 2 re-sit: 4 cu at level 2


Degree rough formula

6 best ½ cu at level 1 (w1) 6 best ½ cu at level 3 (w5) 8 best ½ cu at level 2 and (remaining) 3

(w3) 1cu == 2 * ½ cu of the same mark

final year project must be considered final assessment: 10 cu must pass: 9(old)/10(new) cu must have proper attempt to all 12 cu


Results


Results letter from college

marks advice on failed modules (how to retake) by August 1st

department database results will not be published on your

profile until after the college has sent the letters


Transfers


Transfers end of level 1

must pass year 1 straightforward between computing

programmes from computing to CDW

must “lose” 1 year from CDW to computing:

probably must “lose” 1 year may be possible to take exam in IS and E-

Business at end of year 2


Transfers end of level 2

must pass year 2 between computing programmes

options available (some will become compulsory) to make up for the unattended courses

prevent re-doing material already studied at level 2

from computing to CDW must lose 1 year; do both Design modules +

nformally work on project from CDW to computing:

must lose 1 year; do both “lost” cu + informally work on project


Good Practice


Good Practice a few points

cw submission / excuses formal evidence normally required

problems contact PT (or someone else DST, DOS, Secretary)

asap this may become proof of extenuating circumstances

keep good contact with PT meetings with staff

surgeries ask for appointments

check your college email regularly make sure we have your correct contact details


Good Practice a few points

temporary withdrawals does not excuse from resits

deferred assessment (including project) only in exceptional circumstances must be flagged early, generally otherwise, awarded only by exam sub-board
