Coursework deadlines

Coursework deadlines are set at the beginning of the year and are scheduled in such a way that there are no overlapping deadlines, although you may work on multiple assignments at the same time.
The type of coursework assessment is different for each module and could constitute, for example, of writing an essay, lab report, blog post, presenting a poster or seminar presentation.

The marking period (time between submission date and feedback return) includes 2 weeks of marking by the markers assigned to the module, and 1 week of moderation by the module organiser. During moderation, the module organiser has sight of the original marks and reads a sample number of scripts to confirm. Any disagreements are discussed between the two markers who then generate agreed marks. Moderation is performed to assure consistency across all markers.
Non-teaching weeks (e.g., independent study week, Easter holiday) are not counted as marking weeks.
Feedback on coursework assignments will be made available online. You can access the feedback by going to the MyGrades tab in the Blackboard page of that specific module, and selecting the assignment. You can find more information on how to access your feedback here.
