Presentation on Tackling Exams

There will be a short 30 min presentation on general
tips on how to tackle your examinations on Wed 15th 2010 @ 18.00
in KA-G-026.

Deferral of Exams/Personal Circumstances

Folks

Before you sit your exams you need to make sure you are familiar
with the DIT general assessment regulations (available at http://www.dit.ie/services/academicregistrar/student-assessment-regulations/general/)
and the programme document (available online at http://library.dit.ie search for DT210)

If you cannot attend an exam and know in advance (e.g. work commitments) you
need to do the following:
1. Request a deferral form from the examinations office
2. Complete the deferral form and return with documentary evidence
to support your reason to myself or Damian Gordon

All deferral requests are considered by the head of department and permitted/refused
at their discretion. It is VERY important that you submit some evidence with
your request.

If you are ill in the run up to an exam or on the day of an exam or any circumstances
happen which mean you cannot make the exam or feel you don't do well,
you need to submit a Personal Circumstances Form (available at
http://www.dit.ie/services/academicregistrar/student-assessment-regulations/general/)
and return it to the examinations office.
You must include a Professional Opinion Form with your circumstances.

Where you have submitted a personal circumstances it will be considered when the
examination board meets to consider your result. It will be treated as private and
discussed only with the programme mentor, programme chair, examinations officer
and chair of the examination board.

Semester 1 Exam Numbers + Timetables

I will be collecting your exam numbers and timetables from
the exams office this afternoon and will try to get them to you
over the next 3 days.

I will call into the various classes today if possible, tomorrow and Wednesday
or arrange for the relevant lecturer to take the letters for the people in
their class.

If your class does not go ahead and the college is open I will be in my office
@ 5.45 tonight Monday (KE-2-001 room 201 on the second floor)

If you can't make it in for class this week don't worry the exams office
will post whatever I haven't distributed by Thursday so you should get
it well in time for the exams start date.
