Course Structure
The format will consist of 4 hours of teaching on most weekdays. This is broken down to include three hours of lectures, followed by one hour of lab exercises, during the theory parts of the module. The programming days will be more hands-on, with a mixture of lectures and exercises throughout the day. Exercise sheets will be provided, as well as samples of previous exam papers.
Due to the intensive nature of the Warwick Summer School, students are expected to attend all timetabled teaching activity, to engage with the teaching material and to spend an average of 2-3 hours per day in self-guided study.
Students registered for Warwick Summer School must attain a minimum of 75% authorised attendance of the timetabled teaching activity. If students fall short of this threshold, they will not be awarded a certificate of completion and they will not be able to sit the exam/submit final assessment.
Authorised attendance includes any sickness absence during the course of the programme that has been properly notified and recorded. An attendance register will be taken at the beginning of teaching session so students need to ensure they arrive on time in order to be marked as attended.
Course Assessment
A 2 hour exam (50%) and coursework (50%)
Students who choose to sit the final exam and submit the assessment will receive a transcript of results. The transcript of results will state the name of the student, the course studied, the exam mark and the grade. Transcripts are automatically sent to students via email by the middle of September. You should keep this safe in case you need it for credit transfer approval or for future reference. If you would like us to email a copy of your transcript directly to someone at your University who deals with credit transfer please let us know.
The Summer School does not offer re-takes of examinations, whatever your result in the original examination.
