23. Programme – Learning Outcomes Students receive marks and grade letters depending on the assessment criteria. Convenient way to think about these is the “course-work” articulation: % markCAPS GRADE Description 90-100 A An excellent piece of work that shows a thorough understanding of the material, and has been presented with analysis and critical thought. The work is concise, well presented and well structured, and provides evidence of additional study outside of lecture material and provided course notes. There are virtually no errors. 80-89An excellent piece of work with some minor errors or deficiencies that are compensated for by other excellent work. Well presented and well structured. Shows evidence of substantial additional study. 70-79An excellent piece of work which may contain some minor errors. Shows evidence of substantial additional study and a thorough understanding of the material. Is presented in an excellent manner, with logical structure and argument. 65-69 B A very good piece of work that shows a thorough understanding of the material, but may contain minor errors. The substantial detail is supported by reasoned argument and critical analysis, with evidence of additional study. Well presented and well structured. 60-64A very good piece of work that provides some evidence of additional study. There may be small errors of understanding, but the material is well presented and well structured. Meets the aims and objectives of the coursework. 23 Heriot-Watt University - Baku Higher Oil School INDUCTION SESSION AUGUST 2013

24. Programme – Learning Outcomes Students receive marks and grade letters depending on the assessment criteria. Convenient way to think about these is the “course-work” articulation: % markCAPS GRADE Description 55-59 C A good piece of work that is mostly factually correct, but lacks critical thinking and analysis, and no evidence of further study. Shows some errors of understanding, but this is compensated for by other bits of good work. Well presented and structured. 50-54A good piece of work that is relevant to the aims of the coursework, but not complete. Relies almost exclusively on the course material provided by the department and contains significant errors of understanding. Generally well presented and structured. 45-49 D Limited but basic level of understanding of material. Much of the relevant material is missing, or too much irrelevant material is present. May contain significant errors of fact or understanding. Adequate presentation and structure. 40-44Borderline pass. Limited understanding of material. Significant errors and omissions. Little or no analysis. Poor presentation and structure. Very basic. 35-39 E Borderline fail. Attempts to meet the requirements of the work. Minimum acceptable level of understanding with significant factual errors and omissions. Poorly presented and structured. 30-34 F Some relevant material provided. General failure to understand the material. Significant factual errors and omissions. Poor presentation and structure. 15-29Limited work. Very poor attempt. No understanding of material, although some relevant material from course notes. Irrelevant material with significant errors. 0-14Little or no attempt to complete the work 24 Heriot-Watt University - Baku Higher Oil School INDUCTION SESSION AUGUST 2013

Programme Awards Award standards based on numerical average at end of 3 rd and 4 th year: A 20% contribution from all 8 modules from Stage 3 An 80% contribution from all 8 modules in Stage 4 Marks taken at 1 st attempt to give overall weighted average: 1 st 70% and above 2.i60% to 69%(upper second class) 2.Ii50% to 59% (lower second class) 3 rd 40% to 49% Ordinary degree award – less than 40% 26 Heriot-Watt University - Baku Higher Oil School INDUCTION SESSION AUGUST 2013

27. QAA Methods Information useful for QA purposes is gathered from a number of sources: Staff Student Liaison Committee – issues of quality raised by students is acted upon and reported to the Chemical Engineering Teaching Group Student questionnaires – distributed centrally and collated with a summary distributed to the Programme Manager and Directors of Studies for each year group. External examiner reports – provide a valuable source of feedback on standards and quality issues. Comments raised are managed via the QESC to the School Teaching Group then to the Chemical Engineering Teaching Group. Teaching Group meetings – where general policy is reviewed and reviews of key items. Mentoring sessions – issues of general nature arising as a result of mentor-mentee meetings. Academic staff are mentors to 5 to 10 students from each year group 27 Heriot-Watt University - Baku Higher Oil School INDUCTION SESSION AUGUST 2013

35. “Teaching Group” Discussions Some of the regular discussions between members of teaching staff are about why students are not performing as they can: Not taking notes Relying too much on hand outs As soon as the power point is finished, pens go down. Failing to listen to the lecturer Not taking note of important examples Something that’s not on a slide is not thought of as important - WRONG Heriot-Watt University - Baku Higher Oil School INDUCTION SESSION AUGUST 2013 35

36. “Teaching Group” Discussions Noise in the class room Certain groups distracting others Mobile phones & laptop “entertainment” Not using literature sources properly Plagiarism Not using a range of references – only the course notes Not reading the handbook Many students don’t seem to know the rules Heriot-Watt University - Baku Higher Oil School INDUCTION SESSION AUGUST 2013 36
