† The written paper for module 4D8 will be divided into sections as follows:
|
4D8 |
Section A questions have a weighting of 50% |
|
Section B questions have a weighting of 25% |
|
|
Both sections may contain questions on any relevant topic |
Single module examinations will last one hour and 30 minutes. Double module examinations (3A1 and 3A3) will last three hours. There will be ten minutes of ‘reading time’ before each module (including double modules). Candidates should present themselves in the examination room 15 minutes before the advertised start time of each paper. Late arrivals disturb other candidates: please arrive in plenty of time.
The style of new module papers will be similar to those of any ‘sample papers’ issued to students during the year.
The Examiners will take into account course-work produced by candidates according to the scheme published by the Faculty Board.
Standard databooks will be available at all examinations. Where additional data sheets or databooks were provided for a particular course they will be attached to the relevant examination paper.
Candidates will be allowed to take into the Examination Hall only officially marked calculators as set out in the notice concerning calculators published by the Faculty Board (July 2011).
In the working of all questions and in the evaluation of numerical quantities candidates should show a sufficient number of steps to allow the Examiners to make a proper assessment of their answers.
Candidates are reminded that illegible writing may result in loss of marks.
The Faculty Board of Business and Management give notice that in the Lent Term 2012 of academical year 2011–12 the subjects for examination for the M.B.A. Degree will be as listed below. The method of examination is shown for each subject.
