Notices by Faculty Boards, or other bodies concerned, of changes to the form and conduct of certain examinations to be held in 2015, by comparison with those examinations in 2014, are published below. Complete details of the form and conduct of all examinations are available from the Faculties or Departments concerned.
A correction has been made to the Notice previously published (Reporter, 6366, 2014–15, p. 160) for paper MES11, Intermediate Arabic language. In the original descriptor for the written examination the inclusion of a passage of English for translation into Arabic was omitted. The oral examination will consist of four sections and not three. The timing for the listening comprehension has been removed.
This paper will contain two sections: a three-hour written examination (70 marks) and an oral examination (30 marks).
The written examination will contain one passage of Arabic on which candidates will be required to answer questions (20 marks); one passage of Arabic for translation into English (20 marks); one passage of English for translation into Arabic (15 marks); and one question requiring a piece of writing in Arabic (15 marks). All questions should be attempted.
The oral examination will consist of four sections. All timings are approximate and all oral examinations are recorded.
(a)Listening comprehension: Candidates answer questions on a recorded passage, which may be taken from a variety of sources (10 marks);
(b)Reading aloud (3 marks);
(c)Liaison interpreting: candidates act as an interpreter for two examiners, one speaking Arabic, and one English (8 marks);
(d)Discussion (9 marks) ((b), (c), and (d) together: 15 minutes).

The Degree Committee for the Faculty of Engineering give notice of the form of assessment for the industry courses comprising part of the examination in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics for the degree of Master of Research in the academical year 2014–15.
In the first industry course, ‘IC1 Holistic gas turbine design’, credit will be awarded for attending lectures and participating in classroom design exercises as individuals and in groups during a five-day course hosted at Rolls-Royce, Derby.
In the second industry course, ‘IC2 Gas turbine build’, credit will be awarded for attending classroom briefings and participating in gas turbine practical activities during a ten-day course hosted at Siemens, Lincoln. Practical activities will include working in groups to disassemble and inspect a gas turbine; taking part in gas turbine simulator exercises; and taking part in typical field maintenance exercises.
The Degree Committee for the Faculty of Engineering give notice of the form of assessment for the Research Skills Sessions comprising part of the examination in Graphene Technology for the degree of Master of Research in the academical year 2014–15.
The Research Skills Sessions will be evaluated through a series of six course-work exercises, each of up to 3,000 words in length, based on practical sessions. These exercises are expected to show understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of the exercise, evidence of achievements as outlined for each session, evidence of results attained, and mature discussion of the above.
