Please note the following (these are points reflecting the kinds of queries we have typically received in previous years and are not necessarily relevant to this year, but provided here for information):
(1) It is not possible to have scripts remarked. All module marks are final.
(2) As always, we have followed a rigorous procedure for marking. All markers followed detailed marking guidance. All markers participated in a calibration exercise to ensure that marking was conducted consistently. Following the completion of first-marking, a moderation process as required under University regulations was followed. Finally, a random sample of scripts was sent to an external examiner, who verified the consistency of marking, and also ensured that the standard of marking was in line with marking standards in the sector. (Also, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Law School Education Executive reviewed marking at the module level).
(3) Please note that University Regulation 42 governing academic appeals, paragraph 1.2, provides as follows: "The Regulation Governing Academic Appeals does not allow students to challenge marks they have been awarded for a particular piece of assessment. Decisions made by a Board of Examiners about the academic merit of a piece of work are academic judgements and cannot be challenged via this, or any other, Regulation."
(4) Should you have any other feedback queries, we shall be available to answer any individual feedback queries you might have at the start of the new academic year. In line with Law School policy, we shall make arrangements for this for weeks 1 and 2 of Term 1. We will send you further information about this in September.
Unfortunately, we cannot reply to queries before then unless absolutely urgent. We apologise in advance for this. We are unusually busy this summer with preparations for the next academic year. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
