http://imdweb.infj.ulst.ac.uk/rssfeeds/noticeboard.html Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:10:00 GMT Interactive Multimedia Design Noticeboard en-us http://www.ulster.ac.uk/academicservices/student/graduation.html In early March, faculties will be allocated to specific ceremonies based on the numbers of students indicating that they wish to attend and the summer graduation schedule will then be circulated.
Last year, several students were advised by their Course Directors that they should not register to attend graduation in the summer as they had a resit. However, marks were subsequently raised at the summer examination board. As semester 1 marks are provisional, it may be appropriate to advise students, depending on the extent of failure, to apply to attend graduation as they will receive a refund if the end of year examination board determines that a resit is necessary.

It is available from: http://uusu.org/files/focus-on-feedback-2011.online.pdf
Assessment
Take time to read through the guide and think about why you might be doing the type of assessment that you are doing, for example class tests will tell you quickly if you have grasped a technical aspect of your class (this is called diagnostic assessment) or maybe you are doing a longer piece of coursework which you have had to research and develop a deep understanding of a topic (this is called summative assessment).
Feedback
After putting effort and worry into your assessments you want to get feedback on your work from your lecturer. This guide explains the feedback that you should expect from the staff on your course. This can come in different forms, such as a discussion in class or specific feedback classes. It is important that you attend these to find out how you could improve. You should also feel comfortable enough to speak to staff if you feel you have not received adequate feedback, or if you are not sure why you received the mark you did.
