7. Examinations and Assessments

7.2. Mini-Projects

Several of the courses are assessed by mini-projects. Such mini-projects are commonly used for courses involving elements of programming, computing packages or data sets where it is felt that a timed, paper-based assessment would not be appropriate. The format of the mini-project can vary between courses and might include a computation or written report.

The examiners will send out notices to candidates detailing any specific requirements for the mini-projects.

An electronic copy will need to be submitted and the precise details of this submission process will be included in the notice to candidates.

It is vital that you submit your work by the given deadline as any late submission will be reported to the Proctors and a late submission penalty may be applied (see the Examination Conventions). Please refer to the examination conventions and the Oxford Student website (http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/exams/submission/) for advice on what to do if you are unable to submit your work on time due to medical emergency or other urgent cause.
