7 Quality ControlThe course is not subject to an external examination regime. All studentwork is continually assessed by the lecturers and is subject to internal andexternal moderation.A range of checks and safeguards is in place to ensure that that thequalification you receive at the end of the course continues to be acceptableto the College, HE institutions and employers.The Awarding Body is Teesside University. In order to be able to offer thisqualification, the College has to gain approval from the university, meetingstrict criteria on things like staffing, resources and quality systems.Teesside University monitors the quality of the awards through a range ofmeasures including an Annual Quality Monitoring visit at which studentrepresentatives provide their feedback on the programmes. The College isalso subject to inspections undertaken by the QAA (Quality AssuranceAgency) in order to ensure that prescribed quality standards are beingmaintained.Finally all of your tutors will have been observed in action by the College’sLearning Observation Team. All Leeds City College tutors have to beobserved annually.7.1 End of Year ProceduresOnce you have completed all of your assessments and these have beenmarked, moderated and seen by the External Examiner, your tutor willcompile your mark profile. These profiles will then be submitted to theModule Assessment Board.The Module Assessment Board looks at the mark profiles of each studentand will make a decision as to whether you can progress onto the next levelor whether you have passed the course.NB. If you have not paid your fees in full your profile will not bepresented to the Module Assessment Board and you will not be ableto proceed into the second year or receive your award.Within a week of the Board, the Chair of the Module Assessment Board willwrite to you informing you of the decision of the Board and will give you acopy of your grade profile. If you, when you consider your grade profile,you think you might have grounds to request an Assessment Review (seethe Assessment Review Regulations for information relating to grounds) youmust initially engage in an informal discussion with the Dean of HigherPage 30 of 56
Education within 20 days of the results being published (not 10 days afterreceiving your results).Any issues that cannot be resolved through an informal discussion mayresult in the submission of an application for an Assessment Review – pleasesee the Teesside University Regulations for further information.http://www.tees.ac.uk/docs/index.cfm?folder=Student%20RegulationsSelect ‘Academic Regulations’ and then ‘Assessment Review Regulations.’A results list will also be published on your course notice board within 3working days of the Assessment Board sitting. This is the official publicisingof the results and the appeal time runs from this date. The result list willuse student numbers rather than student names so other students will notknow your results.N.B. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Award Leader hasyour correct address. The College will not be responsible for resultswhich are sent to old addresses if you have not updated your contactdetails. If you do not receive your results within the agreed time itis your responsibility to contact the Higher Education Registrar on(0113 2162563) to obtain a replacement letter.7.2 Programme specificationA programme specification is a concise description of your course’s aimsand objectives and how you will be taught and assessed to achieve therequired learning outcomes. It includes information on admissions, coursestructure and the maintenance of academic standards. This can be foundon you course Moodle page.7.3 External ExaminersStudents often ask questions about how we know that their foundationdegree/degree is broadly of the same standard as those awarded forsimilar courses by other universities. In the UK we have a system calledexternal examining, which is one of several ways that we confirm thatstandards are met. An External Examiner is generally an experiencedlecturer from another university who offers an independent view as towhether the work of students on the course is of the correct standard.The External Examiner does this by looking at a sample of work (e.g.assignments, exam answers, dissertations), discussing the work with yourlecturers and attending the assessment boards to endorse results. Theythen produce an annual report which tells us about any concerns theyhave and any good practice they have identified. The External Examiner’sreports are made available on Moodle.Page 31 of 56
