N/A means that an assignment does not apply to a particular cohort at all (no ability to submit or get feedback), while 0 marks mean that an assessment is formative for the relevant cohort - they can submit and get feedback, but it will not count towards their course marks.
Final Exam Hurdle and Supplementary Exam#
The Final Exam is a Hurdle Assessment. This means that you must achieve at least 40% of the marks on the final exam in order to be able to pass the course. If you obtain at least 45% of the overall course marks and either fail to pass the final exam hurdle or got less than 50% of the overall course marks, you will be invited to take a Supplementary Exam. Passing the supplementary exam means that you pass the course with a final mark of 50 (PS). Failing the supplementary exam means that you either fail the course with a final mark of 0 (NCN) (if you failed the hurdle) or a final mark of x (N), where x was your regular course mark between 45 and 50.
Additional Assessment#
Pursuant to Section 11 (4) of the Assessment Rule (2016), you may be required to undertake a further assessment to ensure that the academic performance of the student in the coursework is adequately and fairly assessed. The further assessment may be oral, written or practical.
We may in particular require such an additional assessment if there are large discrepancies between your performance on the homeworks and the relevant parts of the final exam. This explicit statement of intent is not to indicate that there are any specific restrictions on the applicability of Section 11 (4) to the rest of the course.
If such a case applies, you will typically be required to undertake this assessment between the date of the final exam and the examiner’s meeting (this is typically about one week before grades are released). There will not be an option to undertake the assessment remotely.
