General Comments
The module marks were within the expected range. However there was a significant
increase in the percentage of students’ marks in the pass range compared to the previous
year. On a positive note, a lower percentage of students failed the module than in previous
year. This resulted in a smaller standard deviation with a greater concentration around the
55 mark.
Specific Comments
While students may have averaged a pass, this was actually a big increase from the
percentage who passed the formative. The feeling from the module tutors was that the
cohort missed some skills around essay writing and communicating arguments in their
essay. Therefore in one sense, while the marks were not exceptional they did demonstrate
that this cohort improved over the term.
It was noticeable that the seminars were not very effective this year with students not
coming prepared or not being willing to take part, and as a result a few complaints were
made by students. A review of the module will be done to assess if a more workshop style
delivery would benefit the cohort and produce a better engagement.
