The Board of Land Economy give notice that, with effect from the examinations to be held in 2015, the form of the examinations for the following papers for the Land Economy Tripos will be changed as follows:
The paper will be divided into three sections: Mathematics (Section A), Statistics (Section B), and Legal methodology (Section C). In each of sections A and B, students will be expected to answer two questions out of a choice of three. In section C, it will be necessary to answer one question out of a choice of two. The three sections will be weighted as follows: 40% each for Mathematics and Statistics and 20% for Legal methodology.
This is instead of assessment for the paper comprising: two project elements, for Accounting and Statistics, attracting 10% and 30% of the overall mark respectively, and a written examination comprising 60% of the overall mark, being divided into three sections (A – Mathematics, B – Statistics, and C – Accounts), each comprising 20% of the overall mark.
The paper will be divided into two sections, Section A (Tort Law) and Section B (Contract Law). The paper will contain no fewer than ten questions and candidates will be required to answer four questions in total, with at least one question to be answered from each section.
This is instead of the paper having no sections with no fewer than ten questions of which candidates are required to answer four.
