Examinations and Postgraduate Options

Abstract

In Chapter 5 the discussion of module choices included the advice that you will need to be aware, at the outset, of the type of assessment involved in each of your course choices. This will not be a deciding factor in making choices, but it is useful to know whether you are likely to be panicking to finish coursework and projects at the same time as trying to begin your revision, or whether the coursework can be completed some weeks (or even months) before you begin to revise. For some modules you might be facing both forms of assessment and this can have advantages, allowing you to shine in both coursework and examinations.
