Hello John et al,
SFE would need to answer is, given the differences that could be indicated
as below, "how might the DSA funded support needs be different as a result
of these differences?" Might the student need different software, Specialist
1:1 support, change in the consumables, where there any issues that were not
addressed in undergraduate study, different assessment arrangements -
although the latter is most often decided in-house to the HEI.
Kind regards,
Penny

There will be a substantial difference in that Masters tend to be more
research focussed.....extensive reading, deep thought, far more writing,
especially in the dissertation, far less tolerance of literacy problems(ie
higher standard of writhing required) quite possibly more presentations
from group work, tighter deadlines, group work imposing stress on so me
students who therefore can't have extensions......
But this is so basic that surely people who can't recognise these
differences should not be employed in a position where they ask the
question?????
With regards,
John

In addition to what others have suggested, I think the demands of the fields
of study might be different (if the student is now doing an MEd but
previously did something in a different discipline, for example). It could
also be that the pattern of assessment is radically different even within
the same discipline - in our Law school undergraduate assessment is
relatively heavily dependent on exams while our Masters programmes involve
none at all, and a dissertation might be a significant part of the
assessment when the student hasn't previously done a free-standing
dissertation.

Subject: Difference between a masters and undergrad study
Afternoon,
I wonder if anyone might be to help me articulate the difference between a
masters and undergrad study in a way that will persuade SFE to agree to
carry out a new needs assessment for a student?
The student is visually impaired and was assessed by in 2010. I've made a
case that she will be undertaking a substantially higher amount of reading
and independent study, but they have replied by saying "we need more
information on how the course itself is substantially different, and how
this will impact the student".
Any suggestions welcome,
