FURTHER INFORMATION BE101/BE102/BE113 current academic year 2007/2008 If students are taking modules BE101, BE102 and BE113** for the first time as part of a full 60 credit academic year in 2007/2008 the following rule applies: At the first attempt modules BE101 and BE102 are added together and averaged in order to give a result in the ten-credit module BE113. The minimum pass mark for module BE113 is 40%. No minimum pass mark is required in either of the individual sub modules BE101 and BE102 at the first attempt. Similarly there is no required minimum mark in either the exam or continuous assessment portion of each module. Normal University compensation regulations will apply to the main module BE113 only. If a student fails to reach a mark of 40% in main module BE113, and is not eligible to compensate according to University guidelines in module BE113, then they must repeat all of the individual sub-module(s) (BE101 & BE102) where they received a mark of less that 40%. Students must receive a minimum mark of 40% in any repeated sub-module(s). Both BE101 and BE102 must be passed with a minimum mark of 40% at a repeat sitting and compensation will not apply at a repeat sitting. However, the continuous assessment portion of the mark will be disregarded where it disadvantages the student and only the exam mark recorded for the repeat module. **Students who register for modules BE101 and BE102 must also register for the combined master module BE113 for averaging purposes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
