The General Board give notice that, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board or other authority concerned, the regulations for certain University examinations have been amended as follows:
(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 273)
The Faculty Board of Economics give notice that the detail for this paper has been amended to take account of the change in duration of the written paper to three hours; candidates are now required to choose one topic for the project work and the weighting of the two components of the examination for this paper has been changed. The detail in the second paragraph has accordingly been amended so as to read:
The examination for Paper 3 will consist of two components, as follows:
| (a) | A three-hour written paper which tests candidates' understanding of the logic of the methods covered in the course. |
| (b) | Project work, involving use of the Faculty's computing facilities, on topics chosen by the candidate from a list of topics specified by the Examiners. Candidates will be required to select one topic, involving the application of data sources and statistical methods to economic problems. |
The written paper will carry 60% of the weight for the examination as a whole, and the project 40%.
The Faculty Board are satisfied that no student's preparation for the examination in 2006 will be adversely affected by this change.
