Assessor's signature:
Note: (1) The above marking profile is for guidance only and is not indicative of your final mark. (2) The minimum aggregate mark for a pass on a module is 50%, subject to passing each assessed
component with a mark above a threshold of 40%. (3) Coursework submitted after the due deadline is deemed late and is subject to a mark of 0% unless an extension to deadline has been approved
by your Course Leader. If an extension has been granted, the pink copy of the completed Extension to Deadline form should be stapled to the work when submitted. If no extension has been granted,
the tutor assessing the work will insert a grade of 0% and, for information, indicate the true merit of the assignment. (4) If appropriate, mitigating circumstances should be submitted in writing on the
appropriate form with documented evidence to the Course Leader for subsequent consideration at the MSc Area Examination Boards.
