Student Guide
Coursework
You may take modules that require compulsory coursework, which makes up 20% of the assessment marks.
The main modules supported by the Network which have such a coursework requirement are:
- Numerical Methods
- Differential Equations
Your tutors will explain exactly what is required for the coursework, maybe by enabling you to attend an online session, and will agree deadlines with you for submission of:
- an initial plan
- an overall outline
- your completed project
Wherever possible there will be a study day organised by your Further Mathematics Centre that specifically addresses the coursework you need to do.
Provided that you stick to the deadlines your tutors give you and consider the mark scheme carefully (your tutors will ensure that you understand what the markscheme means), you should find the coursework a useful experience.
- Coursework should help you to understand the module thoroughly.
- Coursework is an excellent opportunity to earn marks without the pressure of an exam situation.
