Assessment
The assessment of your progress is an integral part of the Department's teaching and your learning.

Most written examinations take place in the summer term, either in week 30 or in weeks 33-38. End of year examinations allow you the time necessary to digest the material and put it into context with material from other modules.
Revision for examinations plays an important part in the learning process. We encourage you to practise on past papers, complete sets of which are made available to students as are sample answers for the past five years where these exist. For new modules we will normally provide a sample exam paper and answers. Personal tutors will also help you with your revision particularly in the first two years.
