IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS TO MODULE BOOKLET
- On page 4 under Assessment the booklet states "To pass the module
students need to achieve an average of 50 % in both the exam and
the coursework." This is incorrect. To pass the module students need to
attain pass marks ie: 5 out of 20 as the average of their two essays and
also a minimum of 5 out of 20 in the examination. For further details of
marking scales, please see the General School Booklet.
- On page 8 the deadline for submission of the second essay (on Cato)
is given as Wednesday of 6th week. It is in fact Wednesday of 5th week.
