Module Grade Descriptors

A module may have a number of different assessment elements, such as an end-of-module written examination, a mid-term in-class test, a multiple-choice type test, an essay, weekly homework, practice assessment, laboratory assessment, or an oral examination. Each of the module assessment elements contributes, in a pre-defined structured manner, towards the overall mark of the module as a whole.

The award of an overall mark to a module is a matter of academic judgement against agreed criteria (the module learning outcomes and agreed grade descriptors) and should not be simply a mathematical exercise.

Grade descriptors act as guidelines for students and academic staff.
