The Faculty Board for Earth Sciences and Geography give notice that, for the examination for Part Ib and Part II of the Geographical Tripos to be held in 2015, the papers to be offered will be examined as shown in the tables below.
In these tables, the following terms are defined:
1. ‘Two+1 examination’: The assessment of such papers will consist of a conventional two-hour examination in which candidates will be asked to attempt two questions from a choice of not fewer than six questions. The papers will be undivided. In addition, there will be assessed course-work to be submitted not later than the division of the Easter Term in the year of the examination. The nature of the course-work required will be determined by the University Teaching Officer responsible for the co-ordination of the course, who will provide written details of the procedures which will be followed. The course-work will be equivalent to one question in quantity and for assessment in determining an overall mark for the Paper.
2. ‘Three-hour examination’: The papers will be examined by a conventional unseen three-hour examination in which candidates will be asked to attempt three questions from a choice of not fewer than nine questions. The papers will be undivided.
