Pauline, I'm not aware of this happening at JMU [maybe they just don't tell
me !]. We have a 2 tier system - a module assessment board which will
confirm the marks for each module and then a programme assessment board
which considers progression and classification etc.The classification is
calculated electronically and the system will flag up any students who are
on the borderline between classifications. Such students are then given
detailed consideration by the assessment board with regard to whether there
are any additional reasons why the higher award should be given.
hope this is helpful.
