1999 Science Handbook - Subject information

Subject information

In the first week of lectures, students must receive, in writing, relevant information for every subject. This should include details of the subject requirements and objectives, the method of assessment and deadlines, and information about text books, reference books and any other required reading. As academic staff constantly keep up to date with new developments in their area of interest, students should be aware that other relevant material which becomes available during the period in which the subject is taught may also be introduced as required reading.
This written information should include the dates of the submission of work for assessment. Extensions of time to submit material for assessment can only be granted in exceptional circumstances. 'Pressure of work', either from employment or from other subjects, is not generally an acceptable reason for seeking an extension of time
