10.6: Monitoring of General Information on the Assessment Process

1. Departments are responsible for ensuring that general issues arising from the assessment process are considered and appropriate action taken. This may be done by the Board of Examiners, departmental education committee or other appropriate body. It may be addressed as part of the annual review of taught programmes.

2. Such issues should include general points arising from:

a. reports of external examiners;

b. the assessment process as a whole;

c. appeals.

3. They should also include:

a. monitoring patterns and trends in the distribution of marks at module level and overall;

b. monitoring the overall load of assessment with reference to:

i. the need for assessment to cover the intended learning outcomes of the programme;

ii. consultation with the external examiner.
