Faculty assessment process

Unit assessment regime

  1. As a general guideline, the total length of assessment tasks for a 6 credit point unit should not exceed 6,000 words-equivalent. Each hour of an examination is treated as being equivalent to 1,000 words of assessment. This weighting of 6,000 words per 6 credit points is also applicable to 12, 18 and 24 credit point units (i.e. 12,000, 18,000 and 24,000 words respectively).
