Exam Boards deal with your progression from one year to the next and also with your degree award. The Rules and Conventions under which the Board operates are shown in Appendix 1. Feedback on Assessment Academic feedback plays a crucial role in supporting learning at University and is a key element of your learning experience. You will receive feedback in a variety of different ways and learning situations. You should be aware of the range of feedback you could receive, including the oral feedback that you will receive from staff on an ongoing basis. The feedback you receive will be most useful when you use it to identify what you did well, why you got a particular mark, and what you need to do to improve. When you have done this, you need to ensure that you use this information to improve your future work. Feedback on assessed work will be made available to you no later than three working weeks after the assessment deadline. In exceptional cases, where this is not possible, staff will notify students when they will receive it and give clear reasons for the delay. The University’s approach to feedback in outlined in our Academic Feedback Policy. https://intranet.cardiff.ac.uk/students/your-study/exams-and-assessment/getting-feedback In Year 1 most feedback will be provided within one week of the work being submitted and we endeavour to return most marked work within two weeks. Laboratory work is returned in the next available laboratory session and marked exercise work is returned via the tutor. Marked exercise work in higher years is returned during exercise classes or through the Student Pigeon Holes next to the General Office. Coursework Details of coursework submission and deadlines for laboratories and projects are specified in Laboratory Manuals and Project Handbooks.
Individual module organisers will inform the class of exercise schedules and deadlines during the first lecture of “taught” modules. These details will also be specified in the information sheets published for each module on Learning Central. Examinations Timetables for exams which are held during the main Autumn and Spring exam periods are published approximately five weeks before the start of the exam period.
You should be aware of the basic information and rules before sitting your first exam, including what you can and cannot take into an exam venue. These rules are available here:

A video of what to expect at an exam venue is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_tLL-gRLmY&feature=youtu.be Module organisers are asked to give generic feedback on examinations on Learning Central. The School also holds sessions following each examination period where students can meet with the module organiser for one-to-one feedback on their examination script. Students who have failed a module are strongly advised to engage in this process.
Support is available in examinations for disabled students, including students with Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia, where students request reasonable adjustments to be made in advance of the examinations. Students may also wish to request examinations through the medium of Welsh and adjustments to examinations due to Religious Observance Days. More details can be found here:

If this is the case then you must report these as extenuating circumstances to your School Office as soon as possible and before the deadline published by your School. Extenuating circumstances are circumstances that: •
have prevented you from performing at your usual level in an assessment or examination, and
•
are severe and exceptional, and •
are unforeseen or unavoidable, and •
are close in time to the affected assessment or examination. There are a number of remedies available to Schools for students who have valid extenuating circumstances. These can apply only if you report your circumstances by the published deadline. Students with ongoing changing or worsening circumstances will need to report their circumstances each time an assessment is affected. The University will never assume that a student wants circumstances to be considered.
Extenuating circumstance forms should be submitted to the Physics General Office, where a receipt will be provided. Electronic submission to the Office is also acceptable; the School has a special email addres for electronic submission of extenuating circumstances:
. Forms should be submitted as soon as possible. Where extenuating circumstances have affected preparation for or attendance at examinations, you should endeavour to submit forms within one week of the examination(s). The following web page will give the absolute final dates for submission of extenuating circumstance forms in the Autumn, Spring and summer resit examination periods: http://www.astro.cardiff.ac.uk/teachingandlearning/?page=resources Yüklə 0,66 Mb.
