[COMP6200-supervisors] MSc Project Marking: Deadlines and Procedures

[Oliver Bills]

Dear all,

All students who did not take referral exams have now submitted their MSc
projects and they are ready for marking. Students with referral exams or
special considerations will be submitting next week.
------
The marking deadlines are as follows:
**Monday 14th of October** - independent marking and feedback forms of
supervisor and second examiner
**Monday 21st of October** - mark moderation forms with the final agreed
mark
------
It is important to adhere to these deadlines to allow for any third
examination, and also for the programme leader reviews (please sufficiently
explain how the final mark was agreed) and the External Examiner reviews to
take place prior to the MSc Project Board.

The dissertations have been printed and are in the process of being
delivered to you or your group by the end of this week. Later submissions
will be printed and made available come October.

For each project where you are a supervisor or second examiner, you must
complete the following, using the e_marking system at
https://secure.ecs.soton.ac.uk/notes/comp6200/e_marking/assess/COMP6200/1819/

1) Please check the similarity index and TurnItIn plagiarism report. If
there are signs of plagiarism or the similarity index is greater than 15%
please contact the AI Officer, Alex Weddell (ecsai at soton.ac.uk) as soon as
possible, so this does not delay the process later.

2) If there are no AI issues, please complete your independent marking
form, with reference to the marking criteria at
https://secure.ecs.soton.ac.uk/notes/comp6200/documents/MARKING_CRITERIA.pdf

3) Once both independent marking forms from the examiner and supervisor are
complete, you should then discuss the final mark with the other. It is the
responsibility of the supervisor to contact the second examiner.

4) Once discussed and agreed, both supervisor and examiner must complete
their own moderation form (there is a moderation form for both examiner and
supervisor, both of which must be completed). Please summarize your
discussion about marks moderation, so that there is a record in the
E-marking system of how the final mark was decided. This has been raised
repeatedly by the External Examiners.

The full marking procedures and details can be found here:

Thank you all for your support of our MSc students over the Summer and for
all the work you have put in.

Best wishes,

Oli Bills
MSc Project Coordinator
