All formal assessments which contribute to a student’s progression through or attainment of a qualification via COAPE are formally marked, unless expressly advised otherwise. The marks awarded will reflect the traditions and practices of individual subject areas.

Assessment is used to determine precisely what you’ve learned – something that COAPE needs to know so that it can monitor progress and make an appropriate award at the end of your course. At the same time, feedback is essential to improving your learning and, for the assessment to make sense; you need to know what you are expected to learn. The assignments reflect the content you should be learning, and your work will be marked based on how accurately you show your understanding of the material.
Where a student disagrees with the grade awarded and they have not been permitted to re-submit the unit, the student may appeal via the Registrar to the Moderator within fourteen working days of notification of the grade.
