(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 353)
The regulations have been amended in order to (i) revise the marking scheme for Elementary Mathematics for Biologists, (ii) provide for a revised structure of papers in Physiology and Plant Sciences, and (iii) specify the structure of the papers in the new subject Neurobiology. Supplementary regulations for Neurobiology have been introduced.
Regulation 15.
By deleting from the final sentence the words 'in the following proportions' and by amending the maximum marks allocated to Elementary Mathematics for Biologists from 50 to 70.
Regulation 19.
By amending the first sentence so as to read:
In arranging the class-list the Examiners shall take into account the absolute number of aggregate marks obtained and may further take into account the standard obtained by candidates in each subject.*
* The maximum number of aggregate marks shall be 375 for those candidates who take Quantitative Biology or Mathematics and 370 for those candidates who take Elementary Mathematics for Biologists. Candidates taking Elementary Mathematics for Biologists will consequently have a 5 mark penalty for taking this mathematical option.
Regulation 21.
(1) By deleting the third sentence in sub-paragraph (a) and by inserting in sub-paragraph (b) sections (i)-(vi) in each case after the words 'written papers' the words 'of three hours';
(2) By removing from section (i) of sub-paragraph (b) the subject Physiology, and by inserting a new section (vii) in this sub-paragraph so as to read:
(vii) two written papers, one of two hours and one of three hours, and a practical examination:
| Physiology. |
(3) By adding the subject 'Neurobiology' to the list of subjects in section (i).
(4) By moving the subject 'Plant Sciences' from group (ii) to section (iii).
(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 366)
By inserting the following final sentence:
This paper is appropriate for candidates who do not have an advanced qualification in Mathematics before entry to the University.
By inserting the following detail for the subject 'Neurobiology'.
The written papers will require knowledge of cellular, molecular, developmental, sensory, motor, and cognitive neurobiology. The practical examination will not include laboratory work.
