Parts I and II

Regulation 20.

By replacing the word 'Tutor' in lines 3 of paragraph (a), 2 of paragraph (b), and 2 of paragraph (d) with the words 'Director of Studies'.

Regulation 21.

By (i) replacing the words 'shall be taken into account by the Examiners,' in lines 2-3 with the words 'may be taken into account by the Examiners in classifying the candidate', (ii) replacing the word 'non-literary' in line 4 with the word 'non-written', and (iii) replacing the word 'Tutors' in line 5 with the words 'Directors of Studies'.
