Module handbooks For each module you study you should be told:
• The syllabus that will be covered • How it will be taught - lectures, seminars, laboratory work, etc. • What you will be expected to do - attend lectures, prepare for a seminar or laboratory class, participate in discussions, complete coursework, etc
• The books and journals that you should read in order to keep up with the teaching • How to contact your tutors • How the module will be assessed and when the various items of assessment must be completed
Assessment regulations
The purpose of assessment is to enable you to demonstrate that you have fulfilled the objectives of your programme of study, and achieved the standard required for your named award. LJMU’s programmes of study are subject to specific regulations, which set out what is expected of both examiners and students. The aim is to establish a fair framework for all assessment activities.
The vast majority of University programmes fall within the University Modular Framework (UMF) and are covered by LJMU’s Assessment Regulations. Copies of the Assessment Regulations are available for consultation in the Student Zones. They can also be accessed on the University website via any networked computer. See
www.ljmu.ac.uk/umf/
For programmes of study that lie outside the UMF, the relevant Assessment Regulations are set out in the programme documentation.
Additionally, certain UMF programmes comprise approved variations from the UMF regulations – your tutors should give these Programme Assessment Regulations to you.
The Assessment Regulations cover issues including:
• The role and responsibilities of Assessment Boards, including mitigation, illness, absence from examinations
• The possible grounds for appeal against the outcome of assessment
• Progression, level completion and referral • Academic impropriety (cheating, collusion, plagiarism etc) • Rules for the conduct and invigilation of written examinations • Acceptable arrangements for the assessment of students with known disabilities • Granting of awards and the classification for degrees with honours
The University assumes that all students will have consulted the relevant set of regulations before they undertake their first assessment. It is important to note that at LJMU your progress will be considered by two Assessment Boards, a Module Assessment Board (MAB), and a Programme Assessment Board (PAB).
