3. Invigilated Written Examination Papers

Mathematics Department Units
Written examinations

Most mathematics units will be assessed by a written invigilated exam. This excludes reading courses (C2.3, C2.6 and C4.7) and those assessed by mini-project (C3.9, C5.4 and C6.5). Written examinations will be of one hour and 45 minutes duration and consist of three questions, each worth 25 marks. Students may submit answers to as many questions as they wish, but only the best two answers will count towards the final mark for the paper.

In all papers the questions set should, as a whole, be fairly spread across the syllabus. Questions will be similar in style to previous questions, with an easy start examining material explicitly covered in the course, followed by a part which tests understanding. Each question will be set so that a sound student can produce a complete answer in 35-40 minutes.

Each question should be divided into two to four parts and an indication of the raw marks available for each part of each question should be given on the question paper.
