Your grade and feedback for your work can be accessed through Yorkshare VLE and through eVision. The University regulation is that marked coursework will be ready to access no later than 6 4 weeks after submission. However, the Department attempts to make coursework available for students three weeks after the submission deadline. If the work is not available after this time and you have not received notification as to why it is delayed, please speak to reception in the first instance. They will be able to investigate further.

For essays and reports individual feedback will be provided on your work when you log-in to eVision, to help you interpret your mark and understand how you can improve in the future. The feedback will encompass points that you did well and also point that need improvement. These are provided to help you understand what good elements of your work contributed to the mark that you got, and what areas could have been better, and would have contributed to a higher mark. There will also be annotated comments on the work itself. To access this feedback, you should visit the assessment section on the relevant VLE page. 

In addition to this individual feedback, course tutors will give a report on the overall standard for each piece of work and any common strengths or weaknesses that were found by the markers.  These will be posted to the VLE.

At Stages 1-3 (i.e., Years 1-3 on both the BSc and the MPsych MSci programmes) the University uses an undergraduate mark scale of 0-100. Grades fall within five bands: 1st (70 and above), 2:1 (60 to 69), 2:2 (50 to 59), 3rd (40 to 49), Fail (0 to 39). 

At Stage 4 (relevant for Year 4 MPsych students MSci students only) the university mark scale at taught postgraduate level is adopted. This scale has four bands: Distinguished performance as postgraduate level (70-100), Good performance at postgraduate level (60-69), Satisfactory performance at postgraduate level (50-59), Fail (0-49). Note that a fail mark of 40-49 is potentially compensatable (see below), and marks of 0-39 and fail marks on pass/fail modules are outright fails.

The marking guidelines are available on in the student wiki pageshandbook. These documents outline what standard of work is required for each grade. There are different requirements for essays and practicals, so there are separate guidelines for each.
