| Tutors will be encouraged to provide students with advanced
notification of assignments, as early in the course as possible,
to help them to plan their workloads and gather appropriate
resources. |
| Students will be given the opportunity to
discuss their course, their progress and any issues or concerns
they may be encountering. |
| Students will be given the opportunity to
resubmit work, particularly when the student has misunderstood
the assignment requirements. |
| Tutors involved in assessing students will
have credibility in terms of relevant professional expertise
as well as academic requirements. |
| Where possible a marking schedule will have
detailed criteria to assist tutors/assessors in maintaining
consistency across a class of students, whether for assignments
or examinations. |
| To ensure that tutors involved in assessing
students are applying similar marking criteria all students’
answers will be marked question by question, that is, all of
question one, then all of question two etc, rather than marking
each student’s complete work. |
