This workshop will provide you with an overview of the Examination Review Procedure, including: guidance on mark checks; how some matters might be dealt with at an Examiners’ Meeting; how an investigation is undertaken once a student raises a formal complaint regarding their results; and possible outcomes that Examiners may be required to undertake.
This presentation will be followed by a series of case studies, giving you the opportunity to understand how the Examination Review Procedure works in practice.
A briefing on the University's Examination Review Procedure.
This formal University procedure is used by students to request a review where:
- a procedural irregularity in the examination process has adversely impacted on your examination results; or - demonstrable bias or the perception of bias has occurred within the examination process; or - the withdrawal of academic provision, which had adversely impacted on your examination results and of which the Examining Board were not aware [this ground is for students whose assessment results have been adversely affected by industrial action].
Find out or remind yourself what to do if you receive a request to respond to an examination review, or if a student is asking you about requesting an examination review.
This session includes case studies and discussion to ensure that examiner decisions are robust.
This workshop will give you an opportunity to consider how complaints might be prevented and when complaints first arise how to respond to them appropriately and in line with the University's Student Complaint Procedure.

The session will include a presentation and a series of case studies, giving you the opportunity to put the principles into practice.
