Scaling of MCQ marks

The marks from each MCQ exam are scaled according to the University’s procedures, as described in Appendix K of the Guide to Assessment, Standards, Marking and Feedback.

The purpose of scaling is to ensure that all MCQ exams are appropriately calibrated to the University Marking Scale, and thereby to guarantee equivalence of weighting across different Modules.

Recording marks

Formative and summative marks are recorded on e-vision and are available to individual students (your own marks) and to academic and administrative staff in the Department.
