Style of the exam papers

1. The style of the paper should be in keeping with a Part II examination that is the final examination of the four-year course.

Project assessment guidelines

1. For a breakdown of credit between the various assessed components, see the project, coursework & examination credit notice for Part IIB.
2. The marks for Progress and Industry are awarded by the Project Supervisor.
3. All other elements of the project are graded independently by two markers. The first marker is the Supervisor. The second marker (Assessor) is appointed by the Group Coordinator, who is also the Group Examiner (Projects). Normally the same Assessor is appointed for the Michaelmas and Easter presentations and also for all aspects of the project assessment. At the end of the year, each marker reviews the guideline marks they have given on all components and makes a recommendation for an overall grade: I/II.1/II.2/III.
4. It is the responsibility of the Coordinator to arrive at a single moderated grade for each student. If the two markers do not agree in their recommendations a moderation procedure is followed.
5. No scaling of project marks is carried out.
