  • It is recommended that program based committee meetings precede a full Department exam meeting.
  • The focus questions for the discussion of the units within Departments have been changed.
  • Representatives from the Faculty Standards and Quality Committee (FSQC) will attend a selection of the program meetings across each Department.

Discussion of Units within Departments

The discussion of units should focus on the following three questions:

1. What peer review of assessment practices were undertaken (giving details of what was reviewed eg marking criteria etc)?
2. How were the details of assessments varied from last offering to this offering? (eg change essay question etc)
3. Explanation of any grades not able to be finalised (number of different types on incomplete grades and reason/s) and details of anticipated resolution date.

UNIT CONVENORS

Unit Convenors will be required to provide information about their unit results via the Department Exam Results Report (a shared document in One Drive here – there is one report for each Department). This document incorporates all the information required from Unit Convenors.

Exam results spreadsheets will be sent out to Unit Convenors by staff in the Student Centre.

Please refer to the document in OneDrive called Unit Convenor Exam Results Processing  for further information and also the Assessment Policy (Schedule 1) which includes descriptors for the different types of grades that can be used.
