Internal assessment, including assignments, tests and laboratory work, can make up 20 to 30 per cent of the final grade for a paper, although end-of-course examinations (finals) are usually the most important, and most papers have a three-hour examination.
Support is available to complete internal assessments where required.
- Alternative arrangements for tests and internal examinations are designed to assist students with impairments who may experience difficulty sitting tests or examinations under conventional circumstances.
- Internal assessment results are released through the paper management system (usually Blackboard or Moodle) used for the relevant paper.
- Special Consideration in internal assessment is the process by which the University seeks to ensure just and equitable treatment of students who suffer unexpected and significant impairment (e.g. serious illness) in relation to assessment.
