Assessment Patterns for Units

University of Bath logo - link to University home page

To indicate the nature and proportion of the types of assessment associated with each unit there is a code followed by a numeric value to represent the percentage. For example, an assessment made entirely on the basis of a formal examination would be coded EX100. A new structure for assessment patterns is currently being phased in. The new format includes the use of percentage (%) signs (e.g. EX 100%). Your Director of Studies can provide you with more information on the exact assessment requirements of specific units. The following codes have been used:
