18.5After the examLEAVE FORGET IT MOVE ON TO THE NEXT 18.6Some final remarks• Examinations are psychological games as much as tests. If you know the “rules” and play by them, both you and the examiner will come out happy. • Think of the exams positively. I know that seems difficult – but go for it! You’ve worked hard (!) and now you can reap the rewards. • Keep your head!
19.1Illness or other extenuating circumstancesIf you are taken ill or there are other extenuating circumstances that you believe have adversely affected your performance in relation to any aspect of your course/programme (for example, your attendance, submission of work, or examination performance) at any point during the academic year, you must inform your department(s)/school(s) in writing, and provide the appropriate evidence. Please read the “Instructions to Candidates” issued by Student Administration http://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/ecampus/academicsupport/examinations/examinations/home.aspx for full details on how and when to inform your department about such circumstances as well as the deadline for submission of such information. Absence from an examination / failure to submit coursework Please see the section on progression and award requirements below for further details of the impact on course outcomes of failure to attend an examination or to submit required coursework. If you miss an examination or fail to submit a piece of assessed coursework through illness, or other acceptable cause for which adequate documentation is provided in accordance with the section Illness or other extenuating circumstances in the Instructions to Candidates: http://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/ecampus/academicsupport/examinations/examinations/home.aspx the Sub-board of Examiners may take this into account when considering your results. Exam access arrangements for disabled students and those in need of support For all such students there is a process to apply for special arrangements for your examinations and other forms of assessment. Such requests should be made to Disability and Dyslexia Services which will carry out an assessment of your needs. Please see the section Students in need of support (including disabled students) for further guidance about registering with the Educational Support Office. 19.2Submission of written workAll coursework and dissertations must be submitted BOTH in hard copy (TWO copies required, unless otherwise advised) AND electronically. The steps you have to take In order to submit an electronic copy of assessed assignments are described in detail on the Moodle site http://moodle.royalholloway.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=1586 and see Avoiding Plagiarism under My Courses. Your work is sent to the Joint Information Services Committee (JISC) Plagiarism Detection Site (PDS) for comparison with the contents of that system’s databank. Your work is returned to the markers at Royal Holloway annotated to show matching text and its source(s). The purpose of this step is not to detect plagiarism – we do not expect this to occur and would be very disappointed to discover that it had – but to help the markers to check that you are referencing quoted material appropriately. Language exercises may be handwritten and are exempted from the requirement of electronic submission; other items may be specifically exempted by the course tutor. Coursework essays submitted during the year (whether or not they count for assessment) must be submitted by the advertised deadlines, which will normally be timed to coincide with a lecture, seminar or consultation hour, and the hard copy must be handed in personally to the course tutor. The Departmental Office does not undertake to receive coursework essays on behalf of course tutors. Essays must not be bound and should be kept together by a secure method, e.g. staples (rather than paper clips). Second Year Projects and essays for end-of-course assessment must be submitted to the Departmental Office by the advertised deadline at the beginning of the summer term (extensions are granted only for exceptional reasons) and students must sign the relevant list to show that the work has been submitted. In 2016-17 the deadline for CL2201 Second Year Project number 1 is Wednesday 11th January, 2017 by 12.00 noon. The deadline for CL2201 Second Year Project number 2 is Wednesday 26th April, 2017 by 12.00 noon. The deadline for the first essay for 100% coursework exams is 12.00 NOON on Thursday 12th January, 2017, and for the second essay for 100% coursework exams is 12.00 NOON on Thursday 27th April, 2017. CL3200 Third Year Dissertations must be submitted by 12.00 noon on Tuesday 25th April, 2017. Dissertations must be securely bound using a clear plastic cover and either a spiral binding or rigid plastic grip along the left margin. 19.3Extensions to deadlinesThese will be given only for bona fide medical reasons (which must be documented) or for genuinely exceptional and serious personal reasons (e.g. death of a close relative). For ordinary coursework deadlines during the year, you need to get an extension form from the Departmental Office, in advance of the deadline, and have it signed by the course tutor in person: other members of staff, including the Head of Department, will not sign extension requests without consulting the course tutor. If in really exceptional circumstances it is impossible to submit the extension request before the deadline, you must submit it as soon as you can, together with an explanation (with documentary evidence where necessary) of why it could not be submitted in advance. For an extension to the deadline for Second Year Projects, for essays for end-of-course assessment, and for third-year dissertations, a special application must be made to the Chair of the Examinations Sub-Board. Alleged unavailability of library books, computer failure, pressure of other work, sporting or social engagements, etc., confusion as to the deadline, or transport delays, will NOT be entertained as reasons for granting an extension or as excuses for submitting work late. It is your responsibility to organise your work so that you submit your essays and other written work before the deadlines. One of the important learning outcomes of our degrees is the ability to keep to deadlines. Remember that you can submit your work in advance of the deadline: it is better to come in early and have the peace of mind of knowing that you have submitted well before the deadline, than to leave it until the last minute each time and risk losing the mark for the essay if your train or bus is delayed, if your car breaks down or is stuck in traffic, if your printer malfunctions, or if the office is closed. If you live off campus, always give yourself enough time to travel in to submit work.
