Chapter 2

Course Structure and Overview

This Chapter covers the central concepts of Higher Educationand how they apply to this Course We start by looking at therational and aims of the course upon which you are enrolledbefore covering how the course is organised administrativelyand academically We then look at how you can access yourweekly time table the structure of the academic year and fi-nally at progressionmdashhow we manage transition into the nextyear of your studies

21 Rationale and Aims

A Foundation Year is the first year of a full time four-year Bachelor (BScBEng) or five-year integrated Masters(MPhysMEng) degree You will often find the Foundation Yearreferred to as ldquoYear Zerordquo as it comes before ldquoYear Onerdquo of theshorter versions of those degrees The aim of this year asdescribed in the Physics amp Engineering Programme Specifica-tions is to ldquosupply the necessary expertise and experiencerdquorequired for new students to enter a range of Physics or Engi-neering degrees when ldquothey do not already possess the nec-essary formal (Level 3) qualifications to do sordquo

The aims of this Year will be realised by providing you witha ldquobackground and experiencerdquo in physics and mathematicalmethods that is broadly equivalent to a student who has ful-filled the entry requirements (nominally A2 level in Physics ampMaths) The syllabus is designed to be comparable to A-LevelMaths and Physics albeit in a form that can be taught full-timeover 24 weeks

Table 21 lists the Degree Courses that are fed by thePhysicsEngineering Foundation Year These Degree Coursesare from two separate Schools the School of Physical Sci-ences and Computing (PSC) and the School of Engineer-ing Both of these Schools are part of the College of Scienceand Technology This year is mainly taught by staff from theJeremiah Horrocks Institute (JHI httpwwwstaruclanacuk) within the PSC The first column of Table 21 lists theDegree Title the second and third columns list the respectiveprogramme codes (unique idents used for paperwork) for therelevant FYE Bachelor and Masters Degrees

This particular Handbook covers the Foundation Year por-tion of your degrees Students should consult the Handbooksfor their individual degree courses for information about YearOne and later employment opportunities the degree accredi-tation and other matters relating to those professions Those

Handbooks will be available from the separate School areason eLearn Blackboard

22 Enrolment and Induction

There will be a Welcome Week prior to the start of teachingAll students are expected to attend the Welcome Week andthe InductionOrientation events that are arranged during thatweek It is important that students complete their online enrol-ment as early as possible

Please make sure you are issued with a UCLan StudentID Card and a University e-mail address You will need theID card to access the library prove your identity and to scanin (prove attendance) at all teaching events The e-mail ad-dress is your key to accessing almost all online material foryour course including teaching materials online assessmentnotices from the Administrative Hub and your electronic timetable

Please see the information in the Welcome e-mails from theAdmissions staff and the Check-list on the Welcome to UCLanwebpage During the Welcome Week help for almost all even-tualities is available from The lt i gt on the Ground Floor of theUCLan Library

23 Tutors and Leads

Whilst you are at UCLan it will be your Academic Adviserand the Year Tutor who deal with matters involving attendancemonitoring initial welfare counselling and programme adviceThey will usually be your first point of contact in many mattersThe role of the Academic Adviser is to act as a liaison betweenyourself and the University The Year Tutors coordinate mattersacross the Year The Year Tutor for Physics is Dr Jason Kirk(JMKirkuclanacuk) while the Year Tutor for Engineering isDr Stephen Kirkup (SMKirkupuclanacuk)

Columns 4 and 5 of Table 21 list the Course Leaders andAcademic Leads for each of the named Degree CoursesCourse Leaders coordinate matters including the delivery andassessment of modules across all years of specific DegreeCourses Academic Leads coordinate matters including aca-demic quality and discipline across a set of related subjectsYou may be referred to these Leads if matters are serious

24 The Academic Year

The Academic Year runs from September to August and is di-vided into overlapping terms and semesters Key dates for the2015-16 Academic Year are reproduced in Table 23 Termsare continuous periods of teaching between the major va-cations and are mainly are used for financial matters (figur-

ing maintenance loan payments student fees etc) Term 1runs from the Welcome Week until Christmas Term 2 runsfrom Christmas until Easter and Term 3 runs after EasterSemesters are used for academic matters (modules teachingand examinations) They normally conclude with dedicatedweeks for revision and examinations Semester One runs fromthe Welcome Week until the January exams Semester Tworuns from the end of January until the main May exams All un-dergraduate teaching is contained within Semesters One andTwo Semester Three runs over the summer and is not usedfor undergraduate teaching

All students must attend from the start of induction for theiryear group up to the end of the exams held during the Univer-sityrsquos Central Examination Weeks The exact usage of eachweek by the Teaching Team is specified in the AssessmentSchedule (available on eLearn Blackboard) If you need re-

assessment it is your responsibility to ensure that you are ableto meet the coursework reassessment deadline set (normallyin the third week of August) and that you are available to attendfor any summer resit examinations Absence due to a familyholiday or similar cause is not accepted as a reason for notattending resits or examinations at any time

25 Modules

The taught material on University courses is divided into Mod-ules discrete learning blocks that are led by a named ModuleLeader Other tutors may lecture or provide tutorial supportbut it is the module leader who is responsible for the assess-ment and content of that module Each module counts for adifferent number of credits Full time study counts as a collec-tion of modules that add up to a total of 120 credits For thiscourse each module counts for 20 credits

The list of modules for this Year can be found in Table 24A complete list of UCLan modules can be found in the OnlineModule Catalogue The list of modules you will study in lateryears can be found in the Course Handbooks for your individ-ual degree courses

Modules will differ in their pattern of assessment but theeventual result with be a percentage grade between 0 and100 A module is considered as ldquopassedrdquo if your grade init is greater than or equal to 40 The credits are only countedif the module is passed at the aforementioned 40 level

Taught material on the course is divided equally betweenphysics and mathematics All students on the Course will takethe same set of three physics modules (APC801 802 and803) These run for the full duration of the year The math-ematics modules are split into two sets Most students will

take the three APC mathematics modules (APC804 5 and 6)these contain equivalent material as A-Level Maths Core 1-4APC804 runs for the first half of the course while APC805 runsfor the second half

If a student has a particular interest in doing a ldquofree-choiceelectiverdquo such as a language as a seventh module it may bepossible for this to be studied as a University Certificate along-side the main course This should be discussed with your Aca-demic Adviser because of the workload implications

26 Time Table

The University uses a single online time tabling system Youwill be able to access your personalised time table via the Stu-dent Portal The online timetable will be updated for roomchanges cancellations and other changes and should bechecked every day for the latest information Changes to thetimetable will be pushed out to the online time table This syn-chronises with the monitors that are outside of each teachingroom and the larger screens that are at the main entrance toeach building

The Foundation Year provides a mix of teaching methodssuch as lectures laboratory work tutorials and seminars Astudent may expect an average of 18 hours per week of con-tact time A typical year-long lecture module has an averageof 3 hours per week of contact time Note that depending oncohort size students may be allocated into pairs or groups forthe laboratory work or tutorials You must attend the tutorial orlab at the time allocated to your group and you cannot changewithout prior permission from the module tutor

Occasionally students will be required to attend rearrangedclasses or extra tutorials at times or on days when they donot normally have classes Students should not commit them-selves to part time jobs that conflict with the academic require-ments of their course Wednesday afternoons are traditionallyleft unscheduled at British Universities to allow for undergrad-uate sporting fixtures and social events

27 Results

Module results are released on myUCLan Final modulemarks are released after the end of Semester 2 on the lastMonday of June In 2016 this is the 27th of June

28 Progression

Progression is the process whereby a student satisfactorilycompletes one year of study and progresses on to the nextyear of their course Discussions about your progressionthrough the course normally take place in February each yearIt is an opportunity for you to make plans for your study overthe next academic year The Course Team will tell you aboutthe various modules combinations available and you will bothagree on the most appropriate (and legal) course of study foryou

All modules must be passed in order for a student toprogress The Foundation Year is designed to provide you withthe minimum required knowledge of physics and mathematics

to be able to enter the BScBEng programmes Therefore sim-ply passing all modules at 40 will not adequately prepare youfor student in the first year of the degree programme

281 Progression Criteria

In order to ensure a student can cope with the academic con-tent in Year 1 it has been determined that the following pro-gression criteria will apply

Automatic Admission

Physics Year One 120 credits and an average percentagemark (APM) of at least 60 across all modules allowsthe option of automatic admission to Year 1 of any of thePhysicsAstrophysics degree programmes

Engineering Year One 120 credits and an average percent-age mark (APM) of at least 50 across all modules al-lows option of automatic admission to Year 1 of any of theEngineering degree programmes

Discretionary Admission

The Course Assessment Boards will consider students for ad-mission with 120 credits and with an APM that is up to 10points below the APM for their respective course (ie 50for Physics 40 for Engineering) Students may be asked toundertake reassessment designed to raise their APM to a levelrequested by the Course Board

Alternative Admission

Students who achieve 120 credits and an APM of at least 40and who are not admitted to a PhysicsEngineering degreemay be offered admission to another degree programme atthe University of Central Lancashire

Before You Arrive

In this chapter we look at the things you bring to Universityndash ideally things you should know and things you should haveprocured You may have received a leaflet and letter aboutmathematics preparation after you accepted the offer to studyon this Course The revision section below replicates the rec-ommendations and resources from that leaflet After that welook at the basic stationary that you will need for your Courseand describe the type of calculator you should have

31 Revision

311 Necessary Skills

Mathematics is a key skill that you will have to develop duringyour time on the Course and it is vitally important that you areup to speed with the full range of GCSE (including Intermedi-ate and Higher tier) Mathematics before you start

Skills and topics that you should ideally be comfortable withinclude

Basic numeracy Including the use of directed (negative)numbers fractions (adding multiplying etc) surds in-dices order of operations highest common factors per-centages significant figures ratios etc

Algebra You should be able to manipulate basic algebraicequations including factorizing of simple quadratics mak-ing a quantity the subject of a formula repeating normalnumerical actions (multiplication factions indices factor-izing) with algebra

Trigonometry The area and angles of a triangle applicationof sine cosine and tangent simple vectors and vectoraddition

Graphs Plotting an xy graph how the equation y = mx +c relates to a straight line how algebraic equations(quadratics etc) can be plotted on such a graph

We will be testing these in the diagnostic test during WelcomeWeek and will offer some remedial help at the start of termHowever your entry into University will be a lot more fun andless stressful if you have got this sorted before you turn up

312 Revision Resources

There are two main resources that we recommend for appli-cants who are having to bring their mathematical skills up tothe level described above The first is a textbook that ac-companies a standalone qualification called the ldquoFoundationsof Mathematicsrdquo and the second is a free website called theldquoKhan Academyrdquo

Foundations of Advanced Mathematics 2nd Edition

This book is the best possible benchmark for the mathematicselement at the start of this course If you revise and practiceeverything contained in this book you will be well equipped totackle the material at the start of the Foundation Year It willget harder but this will give you an excellent head start

This book accompanies a standalone qualification that is de-signed to take a student from intermediate tier GCSE to thestart of AS Level maths While we do not recommend youtake the actual qualification the revision and teaching materi-als available for it are recommended You may also find thesematerials useful if you are studying mathematics for a currentnon-A Level qualification

Khan Academy

wwwkhanacademyorgThis website is a good online study resource It was put to-

gether by Salman Khan a former hedge fund analyst who re-alized that there was no good free resource for people wantingto learn mathematics The Academy works on a challenge-and-response principle As you attempt problems it noticeswhere you are succeeding and failing and shows you morechallenging material or additional tutorials as necessary

You can spend as little or as much time on there as youwish mdash either to brush up a skill or as the main focus of yourrevision You may even find its format addictive For thosewanting to use the Academy as their main revision route wewould suggest that you take either of the following subjects

The World of Math This gives a broad overview of mathe-matics and includes elementary material where neces-sary wwwkhanacademyorgmath

YouTube You will find that there are a lot of helpful videos onYouTube If you get stuck on a topic try a YouTube searchand yoursquoll usually find videos from high school teachersand sometimes university lecturers who have put theirlessons online

32 Stationary

Supplying basic day-to-day style equipment such as pens pa-per and calculators is a studentrsquos responsibility How studentsorganize their work can be highly individualistic Neverthelessit is recommended that all students invest in some basic sta-tionary and something that will allow them to organize the sur-prisingly large amount of paper that will be generated duringtheir studies

The following should be considered as the minimum recom-mended set of equipment

Pens Always make sure that you have got at least one sparepen with youmdashespecially in exams Just as in school weask that students use either blue or black ink during as-sessment Red ink is usually reserved for marking greenink for moderation

Pencil eraser pencil sharpener The received wisdom isthat students use pen for writing and pencil for everythingelse (sketching graphs drawing diagrams etc)

Paper Students have to supply their own paper However theUniversity will provide paper in exams Do not be afraidof using a lot of paper and do not cram too much writingonto a single sheet It is often useful to be able to addnotes or annotations around whatever you have written

Filing You generally have two options here You can eitheruse bound notebooksmdashone per subjectmdashor you can fileloose paper in a binder Both techniques allows you toseparate your notes into different topicslectures

Ruler You will have to draw graphs and diagrams It is veryprobable that you are not Leonard Da Vinci and thus can-not draw an immaculate line free hand Thus a ruler willbe essential

Stapler (and staples)paper clips Something to keep yourlose papers together when they are not in your filing sys-tem Pages of an assignment should always be attachedtogethermdashit is your responsibility to make sure that sub-mitted assignments are in a condition where pages can-not become separated (quite easy when everybodyrsquoswork is piled together)

33 Calculators

In time you will learn to estimate the answers to most calcu-lations on the ldquoback of an enveloperdquo However until then youwill need to use a calculator or app It should be able to handlebasic trigonometry functions (sin cos tan) and their inversespowers (x2

radicx xy) logarithms (base 10 and natural) sci-

entific notation and the ability to work in radians as well asdegrees

If you studied A-Level Maths the calculator you had for thatwill be adequate Good calculator apps are also available onmost computer and mobile phone platforms (eg RealCalc onAndroid Applersquos Calculator for OS X and iOS Windows Cal-culator etc) However phone apps cannot be used in examsand some lecturers may object to you having your phone outin tutorials

We do not prescribe which type of calculator you should useoutside of exam times However you should avoid models thatare too advanced as you will not be able to take them intoexams (see below) A calculator is merely a tool that speedsup a process it will avail you little if you do not first understandthat process It is your responsibility to know how to use yourown calculator

Calculators will be allowed in some exams and youshould bring one to those exams Mobile phones and theirapps are not allowed in exam halls Calculators may not beallowed in some exams particularly those focusing on puremathematics You should check with the Module Leader asto whether a calculator is allowed in the examination for theirModule

Misuse of a calculator is counted as cheating (Unfair Means)under the Exam Regulations A Foundation Year is taught atLevel 3 the same as A-Level we therefore adopt the guideline

34 Misc

bull Carrying stuff around in your bag or rucksack will result init getting batteredmdashbinders become worn holes in paperbecome pulled rulers become chipped Think about thisin advance Possibly leave the full binder in your accom-modation and use card folders to protect notes in transitbefore you file them in the evening Keep your ruler in thesheath that it came in Use a pencil case to keep loosepens pencils etc together

bull There are several stationary shops in town including WHSmiths Staples and Rymans However shop aroundmdashsome shops are decidedly cheaper than others We arescientists and engineers itrsquos functionality that mattersnot style

43 Study Skills

We will integrate general study skills into our Physics teachinghighlighting where certain skills are important and showcasinghow you can learn more To support this we have chosen agood all round study guide (listed below) as the Course TextThis will be given to you when you arrive at UCLan

Nevertheless there are other books available (including anextensive range from Palgrave) These may be of interest tostudents who know that they have faced study problems in thepast or who are new to studying in a more academic and lessvocational manner

Frequently Asked Questions

51 Study Time

How much work should I do Courses at UCLan are de-signed with the expectation that students can achieve a suc-cessful result by studying for 10 hours for each credit they needto achieve This includes attendance at UCLan and time spentin private study

Your modules are all worth 20 credits so you should ex-pect to do a minimum of 200 study hours for each of themThat 200-hours contains 3 hours per week of class contacttime (approximately 70 hours) The remaining will be under-taken by you as self-study support work in readiness for theclasses and assessment time The module descriptors (avail-able on eLearn) include an indicative breakdown of how thestudy time may be divided between various activities suchas reviewing lectures trying practice questions and attempt-ing assessments

Do not underestimate the amount of work you need to do toachieve your potential As a rough guide there are about 31weeks in the teaching year (24 in-class weeks 2-3 revisionsweeks amp 4 exam weeks) Six modules at 200 hours per mod-ule equals 1200 hours Spread out over those 31 weeks thisequates to about 39 hours a week ie the same hours as afull time job

Why am I having to work harder do less work than myfriends You may find yourselves having to work harder andput in more hours than some of your friends This is perfectlynatural and is a by-product of your individual experiences

Students who have done either maths or physics A-Levelmdashyou will have sat one or both of these before So even if youdid not get a high grade or only did one of the two you willstill have seen some of this material before That means youmay find yourself having to do less work and put in fewer hoursthan some of your friends Do not become smug There arestill plenty of ways to fail and over-confidence will be the routeto many of them

For a former PhysicsMaths A-Level student the route tosuccess is to use this year productively and to repair problemsthat occurred during your A-Levels Maintain your studies Ifyou slack-off your skills will become unpracticed and you willbe knocked sideways once we get to the really difficult materialin Semester Two

Everybody elsemdashthe disadvantage that you face is that youwill not have seen as much of the material as the former A-Level students Nevertheless some of our best students wereBTEC students who committed themselves from the outsetand ended-up with higher grades than most A-Level students

Ultimately you are trying to learn in one year what it takesmost students two-years to learn The only way for you to suc-ceed is to embrace that challenge

52 Results and Progression

Do I get a separate certificate or qualification for complet-ing the Foundation Year No the Foundation Year is onlythe first year of a longer degree The qualification is that finaldegree certificate

Does the Foundation Year count towards my degreeaward No your average mark for the Foundation Year willonly determine whether you progress to Year One

Will I get a transcript of my results A Transcript lists themodules undertaken credit value and grades achieved duringeach academic session of study The overall result obtainedwill also be indicated You will receive a transcript upon thesuccessful completion of your programme of study

That means you will not automatically receive a paper tran-script at the end of the Foundation Year as your course (thefull degree) has not yet finished Your official module resultsthose accepted by the Assessment Boards will be availableon myUCLan

Please see the Certificates and Awards webpage formore information You may wish to contact Awardcere-moniesuclanacuk if you have a particular need for a papertranscript

I think Irsquom going to fail what should I do We cannot es-cape the unfortunate fact that not every student on this yearwill progress onto Year One of their chosen degree There areacademic standards for progression (the move from one yearof study to the next) that you must meet Failure to meet thosegrades may result in you having to change to a different courseor potentially leave University after only one year

5 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

eLearn Blackboard The httpsportaluclanacuksite is a repository of academic materials used forteaching and student supportThe BlackboardeLearnsystem allows us to disseminate module and coursedocumentation via a single unified system Access toBlackboard is a vital part of your learning experienceMaterials provided there will vary from lecture to lecturebut can include teaching plans lecture slides andassignment details

72 The Student Voice

You can play an important part in the process of improving thequality of this course through the feedback you give In additionto the on-going discussion with the Course Team throughoutthe year there are a range of mechanisms for you to feedback

about your experience of teaching and learning We aim torespond to your feedback and let you know of our plans forimprovement

We take Student Feedback seriously and elements of yourcourse this year will be influenced by feedback from last yearsFoundation Year students

bull Last year we predominantly used 3-hour long exams atthe end of the final semester Students commented onthe amount of material they were having to remember Inresponse we switched to one-and-a-half hour long examsat the end of each semester (same total exam time justsplit into two)

bull The use of WileyPlus for Physics homework on the mod-ules APC801-3 was appreciated by students while theprevious Maths textbook was underused In response wehave adopted a new WileyPlus Mathematics package foruse with the modules APC804-6 We look forward youyour comments on how successful this adoption is

The Students Union can support you in voicing your opin-ion provide on-going advice and support and encourage yourinvolvement in all feedback opportunities They will be re-questing that you complete the National Student Survey (dur-ing semester 2 for students in their final year of study) or theUCLan Student Survey (all other students)

The Studentsrsquo Union and University work closely together toensure that the student voice is heard in all matters of student-life We encourage students to provide constructive feedbackthroughout their time at university through course reps sur-veys and any other appropriate means

The Unionrsquos Student Affairs Committee (SAC) members ofStudentsrsquo Council and School Presidents each have particularrepresentative responsibilities and are involved with decisionmaking committees as high as the University Board There-fore it is very important students engage with the democraticprocesses of the Studentsrsquo Union and elect the students theysee as most able to represent them

You will be able to voice your opinion via a number of dif-ferent channels We hope that you feel able to bring mattersto staff in person but if not the Course Reps (see below) canraise your concerns at the Staff-Student Liaison CommitteeYou will also be able to feedback opinion via the anonymousModule Evaluation Questionnaires

73 Course Representatives and SchoolPresidents

A course representative is a student who represents their fel-low studentsrsquo views and opinions to the course team schooluniversity and studentsrsquo union Course representatives workpro-actively and diplomatically to improve the academic andnon-academic experiences of students

The role of a course representative is extremely beneficialto both students on your course and the university It enablesstudents to have ownership of their student experience andvoice their opinions and share positive practice with the courseteam primarily the Student Staff Liaison Committee Meetings(see below)

7 COMMUNICATION

Course representatives will be elected every year either inApril or September Alongside receiving recognition supportand respect being a course representative is a great opportu-nity to enhance your employability skills If you are interestedin becoming a course representative and wish to find out moreabout the role visit the Studentsrsquo Union website or by emailingcourserepsuclanacuk

School Presidents meanwhile are annually elected repre-sentatives who voice the opinions of students within eachschool They communicate and engage with students in theirschool to gain feedback and work in partnership with se-nior management to create positive change They are alsotrained to support and signpost course representatives whereneeded If you wish to find out who is your School President ormore about the role visit the Studentsrsquo Union website or emailcourserepsuclanacuk

74 Student Staff Liaison Committee Meetings(SSLC)

The purpose of a SSLC meeting is to provide the opportu-nity for course representatives to feedback to staff about thecourse the overall student experience and to inform develop-ments which will improve future courses These meetings arenormally scheduled once per semester

Your Course Leader will facilitate the meetings using guide-lines and provide a record of the meeting with any decisionsand or responses made and or actions taken as a resultof the discussions held The meetings include discussion ofitems forwarded by course representatives normally relatedto the following agenda items (dependent on time of year)

The course team encourage student feedback in all areasand recognise that additional items for discussion may also beraised at the meeting

bull Update on actions completed since the last meeting

bull Feedback about the previous year ndash discussion of exter-nal examinerrsquos report outcomes of National UCLan stu-dent surveys

bull Review of enrolment induction experience

bull Course organisation and management (from each individ-ual year group and the course overall)

bull Experience of modules - teaching assessment feed-back

bull Experience of academic support which may include egPersonal Development Planning academic adviser ar-rangements and The Card

bull Other aspects of University life relevant to student experi-ence eg learning resources IT library

bull Any other issues raised by students or staff

SSLC Meetings occur once a Semester and are followed upby Course Team Meetings where issues raised are discussedand followed up by staff In the past many improvements tomodules and programme structure have been the direct result

of student feedback and staff value student opinion and (con-structive) criticism Both the Course Committee and CourseTeam Meetings have formal minutes and form part of the qual-ity assurance procedure for the School

Students will be made aware of the SSLC scheduled meet-ings via email and eLearn where agenda and minutes of previ-ous minutes are stored Reminders will be sent to all studentsseveral days before the meeting to urge students to liaise withstudent representative

Chapter 8

Teaching

In this chapter we take a look at the material that you will belearning this year (the Learning Outcomes) the teaching meth-ods we use at UCLan and other teaching details not directlyrelated to assessment (see Chapter 9 for details on that)

Specific details for each module can be found in documentscalled Module Descriptors These are 3ndash4 page documentsthat set out the aims content assessment strategy and learn-ing outcomes for the material to be taught in each moduleYou will find the canonical version of each modulersquos ModuleDescriptor linked to from the ldquoModule Informationrdquo areas ineLearn Blackboard

81 Expertise of Staff

The staff who deliver the courses are members of theJeremiah Horrocks Institute within the School of Physical Sci-ences and Computing The vast majority hold PhDs and areactive researchers in a number of areas of physics and astro-physics Details of their research interests and recent publica-tions can be found by exploring the research pages of the JHIwebsite (httpstaruclanacuk)

82 Teaching Methods

Learning Outcomes are a series of broad targets that arespecified in each modulersquos Module Descriptor Individual tu-tors may also specify learning outcomes for individual topicsor blocks of material Outcomes name a specific skill or taskthat students should be able to do if they pass that modulewith a reasonable grade Take note of these as your examsand assignments are meant to explicitly test them

We use a wide variety of teaching and learning methodswithin the School in order to help you reach the defined Learn-ing Outcomes These methods include

Lectures are used to deliver information and knowledge Youmay be asked to read around the subject in readiness fora particular class

Tutorials are used to allow you to test out your knowledgeunderstanding and application of that knowledge Youmay be asked to present information or findings to yourpeers and staff in a variety of formats including electronic

Practicals are used to allow you to develop experimentalskills and consolidate the theory you have learned in lec-tures with practical experience

In addition Expert (guest) lectures or seminars are used toprovide you with the opportunity to hear internal and externalspeakers with industrial commercial or research experienceThis enables you to gain appreciation of career opportunitiesin your area

Your module tutors will often require you to read and studymaterials prior to coming to class This will enable you to getthe most out of a lecture and is absolutely essential to preparefor a tutorial or seminar

83 Lectures

A lecture is what most people think about then they imagineUniversity based learning mdash a hall of students listening intentlywhile an expert on the field tells them chapter and verse abouta particular subject However this belies the true purpose ofthe modern lecture

There is no time in a lecture mdash even the 2 hour lectureswe use mdash to completely cover every iota of material in a sin-gle topic Instead the lecture is meant to be a guided tour tothe topic The lecturer will indeed cover the basics and mostsalient points but the real gold what you are actually there foris the context that they add to the information

The lecturer a live person delivering material directly to youwill be able to stress what parts are really important They cantell you where the pit fall are make connections that are notimmediately obvious and relate the material being presentedto wider issues

Please see the Study Guide Section about ldquoGetting the MostOut of Lecturesrdquo for more details

84 Tutorials

Lectures can sometimes be a little impersonal as there is 1lecturer and 100 or more students The lecturer will have littletime to spend on each question asked but will endeavour todo their best

Tutorials are the flip side of thatndash

bull the tutor to student ratio is close to 130 (more like a class-room)

bull the atmosphere is more informal (although most of therules about behaving still apply) and

bull the tutorials are far more about the conversation betweentutor and students

Tutorials sessions are generally timetabled 1 to 2 days af-ter a lecture Time enough for you to have consolidated yournotes cogitated the meaning of the material presented to youand made a first stab at attempting any study or exercise ques-tions given out in the lecture

You should come to tutorials with things you want to do mdashproblems you are stuck on questions you would like to asktopics you would like clarified Prepare for a tutorial and youwill be rewarded

Even if you have nothing to ask time in tutorials will not bewasted Tutors will have things the main Lecturer will haveasked them to cover This may be reinforcing particular points

from the lecture demonstrating particular examples and get-ting you to work through exercises under supervision

Chapter 9

Assessment

In this chapter we look at the assessment methods usedacross the Foundation Year Please note that all modules willbe assessed You are expected to attempt all required assess-ments for each module for which you are registered and to doso at the times scheduled unless authorised extensions spe-cial arrangements for disability or extenuating circumstancesallow you to defer your assessment Details of those pro-cesses are included at the end of this chapter

91 Assessment Principles

Assessment on each module is based upon two separate prin-ciples (often applied at the same time) The first use of assess-ment is called summative It is the most obvious reason fordoing assessment as a direct evaluation of your learning Asdescribed in the Assessment Handbook assessment is usedto provide students with an opportunity to ldquodemonstrate thatthey have fulfilled the learning outcomesrdquo of the course

The second use of assessment is called formative and isthe use of assessment as an aid to learning itself This is mostrelevant to assessment that is conducted during the teachingphase of a module This style of assessment is used to mea-sure a studentrsquos progresses with the aim of offering necessaryfeedback that the student can use to enhance or correct theirpractise

92 Assessment Methods

The assessment methods for each module are listed in the in-dividual Module Descriptors These methods of assessmenthave been designed to test all the learning outcomes The De-scriptors also list the weight of each assessment method ndash howmuch of that modulersquos mark comes from that assessment Topass a module the total grade summed across all assessmentmethods must be greater than or equal to 40

There are a variety of assessment methods These include

Laboratory Practicals Part of your Laboratory training will beto keep and maintain written notes on your experimentsIn the Foundation Year this is done via worksheets thatmust be completed alongside the experiment during classtime These constitute a form of continuous assessmentas you will be graded on each weekrsquos noteswork The

weekly marks will be aggregated into an overall mark foryour in-laboratory work

Presentations At the end of your time in the Laboratory youwill be asked to complete a presentation based on one ofyour experiments These assessments will be structuredlike assignments but usually require more hours and willcumulate in a distinct piece of work The format maychange but one example would be asking you to writea scientific poster based on one of your experiments

Formal Examinations The majority of your assessment(60 of lecture based modules) will be weighted towardsformal examinations at the end of each semester Theseare 15 to 2 hr exams where each student works in si-lence at a separate desk on an exam paper that they havenot previously seen Some students excel in exams whileothers find them very stressful Students who struggleshould pay particular attention to exam techniques ses-sions and mock exams when they are offered

Continuous Assessment This describes any continuing as-sessment that is done in support of the learning processThese are usually discrete pieces of coursework that areassigned during a lecture but are completed during thestudentrsquos own study time These may range from regu-lar automatically-graded homework exercises (eg Wi-leyPlus) electronically submitted files (eg TurnItIn) orpaper-based problems Most assignments on this coursewill be centred on mathematicalphysical problems takenfrom the material that has just been taught Assignmentsfavour students who do not have a lot of experience oranxiety with formal examinations

Class Tests These are short exam-like tests that are con-ducted within the normal teaching time table Their scopeis usually limited to a particular section of academic ma-terial

93 Notification of Assignments andExamination Arrangements

You will be provided with an Assessment Schedule at the be-ginning of the academic year to allow you to manage your time

9 ASSESSMENT

The assessment schedule is made available through Black-board and on your Noticeboard on the second floor of LeightonBuilding

An examination timetable will be made available to you priorto the examination periods on the University website For moststudents this will appear in your normal Time Table Studentswith Personalised Exam Provision are usually e-mailed in theweeks preceding exams to notify them of their specific ar-rangements

Assessment of modules typically involves the submission ofcoursework during the year and an end of module examina-tion For each assignment the Assignment Specification in-forms you how and when the work is to be submitted Do notregard the hand-in date as the target date for completing thework Instead complete the coursework before the hand-indate to allow a lsquomargin of safetyrsquo in case of technical prob-lems Coursework is usually submitted to lsquoassignment boxesrsquolocated in your home building Be sure to sign and attach anlsquoAssignment Submission Formrsquo Ensure you keep a copy ofyour work

If directed by your module tutor you may be requested tosubmit your coursework via eLearn Blackboard WileyPlus oranother web-service

Unless the coursework explicitly states that you may workin groups you must assume that anything you may submit forassessment to be entirely your own work with material youhave consulted properly referenced This is not intended tostop you discussing in general terms how to tackle problemsbut you must demonstrate individually that you understand thework and can solve the details of the problem yourself You willbe made aware of the marking criteria prior the assessmentwithin the assignment brief

By submitting your work ndash either on paper or electroni-cally ndash you explicitly confirm that it your own work

94 Feedback

UCLan is committed to giving you clear legible and informativefeedback for all your assessments (Academic Regulations)You will be provided with generic feedback for in-module for-mative and summative elements of assessment which con-tribute to a module within 15 working days of the scheduledsubmission or examination date Generic feedback on end ofmodule assessment and dissertations will be made availablewithin 15 days of publication of results

Feedback may be delivered in a number of different ways Ifyour assignment is submitted via WileyPlus you will get instantfeedback as to whether your answer was right or wrong Afterthe deadline has elapsed some Module Tutors may make thesolutions visible on WileyPlus this would constitute genericfeedback If your tutor spots a particular mistake they mayleave personalised feedback

If your assignment was submitted on paper then you willhave had to attach an Assignment coversheet to it The mod-ule tutor will mark your grade on the sheet and complete a boxthat contains personalised written feedback They will also in-dicate on your assignment where and why you lost marks

You are expected to review and reflect on your feedback andlearn from each experience to improve your performance asyou progress though the course You should look at where you

are losing marks and come up with a plan on how to addressthat (eg marks lost for poor formatting areas of study youhave not yet mastered etc)

95 Extensions and late submissions

Each assignment brief will include a clearly defined deadlineIt is expected that all work will be submitted prior to this dead-line If you anticipate that you will have difficulty in meetingassessment deadlines or that you will miss a class test youshould report this to the relevant Module Leader at the firstavailable opportunity

If the situation is isolated and is anticipated before the as-sessment deadline then it will most probably require an ex-tension resulting in extra time being given to complete theassignment If the situation is more serious then it may bemore appropriate to consider an application for extenuatingcircumstances (see next section)

951 Late Submissions

If you submit work late and unauthorised a universal penaltywill be applied in relation to your work

bull If you submit work within 5 working days following thepublished submission date you will obtain the minimumpass mark for that element of assessment (usually 40)

bull Work submitted later than 5 working days after the pub-lished submission date will be awarded a mark of 0 forthat element of assessment

Unauthorised late submission at resubmission will automati-cally be awarded a mark of 0 for that element of assessment

952 Extensions

Authorisation of the late submission of work requires writ-ten permission Your School is authorised to give permis-sion for one extension period of between 1 and 10 workingdays where appropriate evidence of good reason has been ac-cepted and where submission within this time-scale would bereasonable taking into account your circumstances (AcademicRegulations)

You should complete and submit an extension request formwith any supporting evidence to your Admin Hub via thededicated Fosterhubuclanacuk e-mail address Furtherinformation is available on the Student Portal at httpswwwuclanacukstudentsstudyexaminations_and_awardsextenuating_circumstancesphp

We aim to let you know if the extension has been grantedwithin 1 working day of the receipt of the request If you areunable to submit work within 10 working days after the submis-sion date due to verifiable extenuating circumstances you maysubmit a case for consideration in accordance with the Univer-sityrsquos Policies and Procedures on Extenuating Circumstances(Academic Regulations and Assessment Handbook)

97 Classification of Awards

953 Reassessment

If you fail one or more modules the Module and ProgrammeAssessment Boards (see below) in mid-June will decidewhether you will be offered reassessment Please note thatit may not be possible to reassess practical work (such as inlaboratories or the project) so you should make every effort topass these modules at the first attempt The Board will usuallyonly offer reassessment where they believe that will lead to apositive academic outcome for the student

Reassessment will be offered in the relevant failed or lowscoring component of each module This may be a resit exammodel answers to exam or courseworks as decided by theassessment board The reassessed mark will replace thefailed component to obtain the composite module mark If af-ter reassessment you still have not passed the module theReassessment Board in September may allow you to repeatfailed modules the following year

You will be notified of the required reassessment shortlyafter University Results day in late June Resit exams forSemester 1 normally take place during the May exam periodand resit exams for Semester 2 normally take place during theuniversityrsquos reassessment week in late August (check the Aca-demic Calendar for exact dates) This is also the approximatedeadline for submission of reassessed coursework

It is your responsibility to make yourself available for re-assessment if required Having booked a holiday abroad isnot an acceptable reason for not being available for reassess-ment in August Some university activities (such as the Uni-versity International Travel Bursary Scheme and Research In-ternships ERASMUS exchanges) require participants to havelsquogood academic standingrsquo Having outstanding reassessmentwould normally preclude you from taking part

Reassessment results are released on Reassessment Re-sults Day in the first week of September Only at this stage willyou be able to make final arrangements about your studentloan and other logistics for the next year

96 Quality Assurance

UCLan takes very seriously the vetting and checking of all as-sessment This is done ldquoin houserdquo by our own internal moder-ation and externally via the use of an ldquoexternal examinerrdquo

961 Internal Moderation

The University has a policy that each Assignment amp Exam ismoderated by a staff member other than the Module Leaderbefore it is assigned to the students If an assignment ismarked by multiple tutors the Module Leader will be respon-sible for making sure that their marking is consistent

After an assignment has been marked the Moderator willselect a set of scripts (10 or 3 which ever is greater) fromacross the range of marks The moderator will re-mark thosescripts and then discuss any variance between their marks andthe tutorrsquos original marks The grades that a student eventuallyreceive will be the ones that are agreed between the Moderatorand Module Leader

Usually the Module Leader will use red ink to mark while theModerator will use green ink Formal examinations are marked

anonymously but the same moderation process applies Anelectronic copy of all moderated work is kept for quality assur-ance purposes

962 External Examiner

The University has appointed an External Examiner to yourcourse who helps to ensure that the standards of your courseare comparable to those provided at other higher educationinstitutions in the UK

The name of this person their position and home institutioncan be found below If you wish to make contact with yourExternal Examiner you should do this through your CourseLeader and not directly External Examiner reports will bemade available to you electronically via the School area oneLearn Blackboard

Physics Prof Gail McConnellProfessor of Biophotonics Centre for Biophotonics Uni-versity of Strathclyde

The School will also send a sample of student courseworkto the external examiner(s) for external moderation purposesonce it has been marked and internally moderated by thecourse tutors The sample will include work awarded the high-est and lowest marks and awarded marks in the middle range

The University publishes the principles underpinning the wayin which awards and results are decided in Academic Regula-tions Decisions about the overall classification of awards aremade by Assessment Boards through the application of theacademic and relevant course regulations

Academic Boards meet at the end of each semester to re-view and confirm the results of modules that have finished inthe previous semester These Boards are made up of theCourse Team plus the relevant Course and Academic Leads

971 Roles of the Boards

The Module Board will usually meet several weeks after theexam period It reviews the operation of each module anddecides collectively whether to accept the grades from eachmodule

The CourseProgramme Board meet a week after theSemester 2 Module Board to review the academic profiles ofall students The performance of each student is reviewed andthe Board decides on the best academic outcome for them(taking into account any submitted ECs)

It is the Course Board that ultimately recommends a studentfor progression and whether to offer reassessment or not Forborderline cases the Board will take into account the studentrsquoshistory of attendance and their engagement with the course

972 Appeals Against Assessment BoardDecisions

If you consider that you have a reason to appeal against an as-sessment board decision please bear in mind that your rea-sons must fall within the grounds specified in the University

9 ASSESSMENT

Academic Regulations Section I You cannot appeal simplybecause you disagree with the mark given

The specified grounds for appeal are

1 that an Assessment Board has given insufficient weightto extenuating circumstances

2 that the studentrsquos academic performance has been ad-versely affected by extenuating circumstances which thestudent has for good reason been unable to make knownto the Assessment Board

3 that there has been a material administrative error at astage of the examining process or that some material ir-regularities have occurred

4 that the assessment procedure andor examinations havenot been conducted in accordance with the approved reg-ulations

If you want to appeal then you must do so within 14 days ofyour results being published The onus is on you to find outyour results and submit your appeal on time Contact the Stu-dentsrsquo Union Advice and Representation Centre by emailingsuadviceuclanacuk for support and guidance

98 Extenuating Circumstances

Some students face significant events in their personal life thatoccur after their course has started which have a greater im-pact on their students than can be solved by the use of anextension If this applies to you the University is ready tosupport you both with regard to your course and your per-sonal well-being through a process called Extenuating Circum-stances (Academic Regulations and Assessment Handbook)

981 What is covered

Normally extenuating circumstances will relate to a change inyour circumstances since you commenced your course whichhave had a significant adverse effect on your studies Every-day occurrences such as colds or known conditions such ashay-fever will not qualify unless the effects are unusually se-vere and this is corroborated by a medical note

Circumstances may include but are not limited to

bull Significant illness or injury to self

bull Death or significant illness of a close family mem-berdependant

bull Family crisis or major financial problems leading to acutestress

bull Absence due to jury service or maternity paternity oradoption leave

bull Victim of crime

bull Work commitments (in rare cases)

The University does not look sympathetically on absencesor delays caused by holiday commitments or by work commit-ments in the case of full-time students The normal work com-mitments of part-time students would not constitute an exten-uating circumstance A disability or learning difficulty does notconstitute an extenuating circumstance (see Academic Regu-lations)

982 How to apply

You can apply for extenuating circumstances online via myU-CLan You must apply no later than 3 days after any exami-nation or assessment submission date Do not wait until youreceive your assessment results to submit a claim It is in yourown interests to submit the claim as soon as possible

You will be expected to re-submit claims for extenuating cir-cumstances for each semester

In determining assessment recommendations AssessmentBoards will consider properly submitted claims from studentswho believe their performance has been adversely affected byextenuating circumstances

At the studentrsquos choice applications for extenuating circum-stances can be confidential even from the course team Allapplications are handled by Extenuating Circumstances leadwithin the School management with decisions on successfulapplications being communicated to the Course Team by theAdmin Hub

How the outcome is acted upon

Assessment Boards are not permitted to alter individual as-sessment marks to take account of extenuating circumstances(Academic Regulations and Assessment Handbook) Whatthe EC does allow us to do is to be flexible in terms ofrescheduling assessment allowing reassessment and in ex-ceptional circumstances allowing students to resit the year

Further information on the submissions process anddeadlines are posted on the Student Portal at httpswwwuclanacukstudentsstudyexaminations_and_awardsextenuating_circumstancesphp

99 Personalised Exam Provision (PEP)

PEP Arrangements are made for students who have a disabil-itylearning difficulty for which valid supporting evidence canbe made available Please contact the Disability Adviser foradvice and information disabilityuclanacuk

The Course Team and Examinations Service will act on in-formation from the Disability Adviser and will provide additionaltime or other measures as requested However we do notknow to do this unless you have engaged with the DisabilityAssessment

It is in your interests to get this sorted early in the FirstSemester and not leave it until the Exams actually arrive

910 Cheating plagiarism collusion or re-presentation

910 Cheating plagiarism collusion orre-presentation

You are required to sign a declaration indicating that individualwork submitted for an assessment is your own

If you attempt to influence the standard of the award youobtain through cheating plagiarism or collusion it will be con-sidered as a serious academic and disciplinary offence as de-scribed within the Academic Regulations and the AssessmentHandbook

bull Cheating is any deliberate attempt to deceive and coversa range of offences described in the Assessment Hand-book

bull Plagiarism describes copying from the works of anotherperson without suitably attributing the published or unpub-lished works of others This means that all quotes ideasopinions music and images should be acknowledged andreferenced within your assignments

bull Collusion is an attempt to deceive the examiners by dis-guising the true authorship of an assignment by copyingor imitating in close detail another studentrsquos work - thisincludes with the other studentrsquos consent and also when2 or more students divide the elements of an assignmentamongst themselves and copy one anotherrsquos answers Itdoes not include the normal situation in which you learnfrom your peers and share ideas as this generates theknowledge and understanding necessary for each indi-vidual to independently undertake an assignment norshould it be confused with group work on an assignmentwhich is specifically authorised in the assignment brief

bull Re-presentation is an attempt to gain credit twice for thesame piece of work

The process of investigation and penalties which will be ap-plied can be reviewed in the Assessment Handbook If an al-legation is found to be proven then the appropriate penalty willbe implemented

In the case of a single offence of cheating plagiarism col-lusion or re-presentation

bull the penalty will be 0 for the element of assessment andan overall fail for the module

bull the plagiarised element of assessment must be resubmit-ted to the required standard and the mark for the modulefollowing resubmission will be restricted to the minimumpass mark

bull when it is detected for the first time on a resubmission foran already failed module no further resubmission for themodule will be permitted and the appropriate fail gradewill be awarded

In the event of a repeat offence of cheating plagiarism col-lusion or re-presentation (irrespective of whether the repeatoffence involves the same form of unfair means) on the sameor any other module within the course

bull the appropriate penalty will be 0 for the module withno opportunity for re-assessment This penalty does notpreclude you being able to retake the module in a subse-quent year

The penalties will apply if you transfer from one UCLan courseto another during your period of study and module creditsgained on the former course are transferred to the currentcourse

Chapter 10

Attendance and Engagement

101 Attendance is Important

Attendance is compulsory for all events on your time table un-less you have otherwise been told so by the responsible Mod-ule Leader The actual reasons attendance is compulsory andwhy we monitor it so closely are straight forward but may notat first be obvious They include

1 A pattern of poor attendance can be due to an underly-ing problem that may need to be addressed (financialpersonal welfare or otherwise) - it is a classic warningsign We know for certain that some of the problems stu-dents encounter during the start of term could have beenalleviated if they had come to their tutors sooner Thusattendance will be used more strongly as guide of who weneed to focus our concerns upon

2 Attendance generally correlates with a studentsrsquo en-gagement with the course Students who are not en-gaging - even those who are academically strong - runthe risk of simply drifting away from a pattern of work Adegree is a statement to an employer that a person cancomplete a program of work The University cannot ingood faith make that statement by awarding a degree ifthe studentrsquos attendance is unreliable

3 For international students the University has respon-sibilities under the UK Border Agency (UKBA) PointsBased System (PBS) mdash you MUST attend your courseof study regularly under PBS UCLan is obliged to tellUKBA if you withdraw from a course defer or suspendyour studies or if you fail to attend the course regularly

4 The University is funded by your Student Fees and othertop-up funding streams from central government Themoney for these are based on the number of studentsenrolled Your attendance is part of the audit for that Itwould be wrong for us to claim funding for students whoare not attending so we are careful to remove (withdraw)students who stop attending

5 Finally and most importantly attendance correlates withacademic achievement Attendance in lectures is im-portant as they are about us your lecturers being able toadd value to what you can read in text books and online Atext book wonrsquot tell you the full story it cannot be quizzed

on reasons why it wonrsquot point out why some material ismore important or show you the unobvious connections

University regulations state that we the teaching team have aresponsibility to monitor studentsrsquo attendance and report backto the Course Leader

102 Student Attendance Monitoring

UCLan uses an electronic Student Attendance Monitoring Sys-tem (called SAM) to monitor your attendance Each teachingvenue has an entry scanner and display screen outside of thedoor You will find instructions (similar to those below) on everyscanner

Upon arrival check that the venue is correct on the displayscreen Then if it is showing Scan Open follow the dis-played instructions to swipe your UCLan card over the scan-ner Check for the requisite number of beepslights and thenproceed into the lesson You will find that this becomes secondnature after a relatively short time

It is your responsibility to make sure that you have yourUCLan ID with you during all lessons and that you use it toscan in Fraudulently scanning for somebody else or gettingsomebody else to fraudulently scan for you is a serious matterand can result in you being withdrawn from study At times amanual Class register will be taken to verify the digital recordYou are able to access your own attendance record throughmyUCLan

10 ATTENDANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

103 Procedure for non-engagement

If you are experiencing genuine difficulties which are making itdifficult to attend we will do our utmost to support and adviseyou However we can only do this if you tell us

1031 Notified Absences

There are two types of condoned absence - unplanned andplanned The first are those relating to a sudden illness whereyou are too ill to attend or a sudden unplanned event thatyou do not know about beforehand (generally a crisis of somekind) The latter are those that relate to events which conflictwith your lectures

Unplanned Absence (including illness)

In the event of illness or unplanned absence we ask that youcontact the Admin Hub as it is manned during office hours andis thus easier to reach than your Academic Adviser (who willbe lecturing in meetings or otherwise engaged for a lot of thetime) The Hub will then notify your lecturers for that day

The Admin Hub can be reached by telephoning 01772893451 or by e-mailing Fosterhubuclanacuk at the firstavailable opportunity

Please note that continued or repeated illnesses may resultin student being asked to supply a doctorrsquos note andor sub-mit an extenuating circumstances application Please discussthese with your Academic Adviser at the first possible oppor-tunity

Planned Absence

We all have times when we need to be absent from workThese may include

1 Child care - particularly during half-term or if the schoolphones to say little Johnny is ill

2 Family matters - It is a sad fact that our families age aswe age

3 Appointments - you are time tabled pretty strongly sofinding a doctorsdentistbank appointment around lec-tures isnrsquot always possible

4 Extra-curricular activities We donrsquot want to stop youhaving a social life and know that in exceptional cir-cumstances societies and just life itself will conflict withtimetabled lectures

5 Hint hang overs donrsquot count

Please e-mail the Module Leader if you are absent for a singlelecture or the Year Tutor if you are going to be away for morethan a single lecture

If nothing else please consider it a personal and profes-sional courtesy to notify us of a planned absence Your lectur-ers will then be able to advise you of the work that they plan toundertake and make sure that you have caught up afterwards

We are not ogres We donrsquot want to be issuing e-mails andnotices when you are already having a trying time Howeverwe donrsquot know not to do this if you donrsquot tell us

1032 Three-Strikes Policy for Absenteeism

We will be operating a three-strikes policy with regard to ab-senteeism and non-engagement In normal operation eachsuccessive strike will be triggered by a notification e-mail fromthe SAM system alerting both the student and the staff in-volved that there is a problem or an intervention from theSchool Engagement Assistants First contact counts as thefirst strike two in a row is the second strike third in a row isthe third strike

Strike One Students who have unsatisfactory attendancewill be given a first warning and asked to explain themselves totheir Academic Adviser Their Academic Adviser will discusshelp available and if necessary counsel the student about theUniversity support that is available

Strike Two Students whose attendance still has notreached an acceptable level will be escalated to the CourseLeader They will re-examine any support offered during theFirst Strike and counsel the student on their options movingforward

Strike Three A third instance of non-engagement will resultin the matter being escalated to the Academic Lead who willinterview the student pending their removal from the course

All official requests for students to see your Academic Ad-viser course leader or academic leader will first be sent toyour uclanacuk e-mail address by the Central Admin Ser-vice Failure to respond to those e-mails will result in the thirdstrike message also being sent to your term-time and homepostal addresses

If you are not re-engaging with your academic adviser youmay be referred to School staff andor Fresh Start supportWe do attempt to contact non-attenders by various means(email telephone letter) before withdrawing you from your pro-gramme of study

If you have not gained the required authorisation for leave ofabsence (see below) do not respond to communications fromthe University and if you are not engaged for four weeks ormore you may be deemed to have withdrawn from the courseIf this is the case then the date for your withdrawal will berecorded as the last day of attendance

104 International Students

If you are an international student you should be aware thatyou have responsibilities under the UK Border Agency (UKBA)Points Based System (PBS) - you MUST attend your course ofstudy regularly under PBS UCLan is obliged to tell UKBA ifyou withdraw from a course defer or suspend your studies orif you fail to attend the course regularly

Attendance for international students enrolled under thePoints-Based System (also known as PBS) is also monitoredcarefully The PBS system affects all students who are a non-EEAEUSwiss national Under PBS institutions must be reg-istered with the UK Border Agency in order to recruit interna-tional students

UCLan is a registered sponsor and has been awarded anrsquoArsquo rating this is the highest rating available As a registeredsponsor UCLan has several responsibilities to fulfil includingmonitoring the attendance of international students holding a

105 Prolonged Absence

PBS visa and reporting non-attendance failure to enrol andwithdrawals to the UK Border Agency

If a prolonged absence from your course is unavoidable it maybe appropriate for you to consider intercalation the suspen-sion of your studies This may be done for personal reasons re-lating to family matters (including bereavement) medical rea-sons (including hospitalisation pregnancy and mental healthcircumstances) financial commitments etc The possibility ofintercalation may also be raised during discussions under theFitness to Study policy

You should discuss intercalation with your Academic Adviseror a university counsellor They can arrange the relevant pa-perwork at your request Intercalation will also have a financialdimension as it can affect your eligibility for financial supportand benefits as your student status is suspended

Please see the Intercalation webpage for more informationIndependent academic and financial advice should also besought from the Studentrsquos Union

Chapter 11

Student Support and Guidance

There are multiple avenues available for students who needhelp support and guidance These include your AcademicAdviser the one-stop drop in centre at the rsquoirsquo and the studentrsquosunion A lot of guides and advice is also available from theStudent Support webpages

111 Academic Advisers

The role of your Academic Adviser is different from that of yourModule Tutors (although it is possible that your Academic Ad-viser will also be one of your module tutors) The latter sup-ports you on individual modules whereas your Academic Ad-viser is there to provide you with advice and support acrossyour course extending to personal difficulties such as accom-modation financial difficulties and sickness Your AcademicAdviser may be able to liaise with other UCLan services ordirect you to appropriate support within the University

You will meet with your Academic Adviser at the start ofeach academic year and should go to see them at least oncea semester after that In Year 0 you will normally have 2 or 3meetings in Semester 1 to ensure that you are settling in bothacademically and on a personal level You will also be recom-mended to visit your Academic Adviser to discuss your pro-gression possibilities after the Progression meeting in Febru-ary of each year

In addition you should see your Academic Adviser at anytime when you are in need of pastoral advice Your AcademicAdviser may refer you to Student Services but they should beyour first port of call

112 The lt i gt

The lt i gt is a central Student Information Centre and yourfirst point of contact You can obtain information on a widerange of topics including Council Tax Exemption CertificatesBank and Confirmation of Study Letters Portable FinancialCredits (continuing students only Printing and Printer CreditUCLan Cards the lt i gt shop and UCLan Financial SupportBursary (first year students only)

You can follow announcements from the lt i gt on Twitter orFacebook Even if the folks at the lt i gt cannot help your di-rectly they should be able to refer you to the person or Servicethat you need to speak to

Chapter 12

Health And Well-Being

In this chapter we look at the general guidelines and regula-tions that exist to safeguard your well-being while you are atUniversity

121 Conduct

You will be expected to abide by the Regulations for the Con-duct of Students in the University UCLan expects you to be-have in a respectful manner demonstrated by using appropri-ate language in class and switching mobile phones otherdevices off prior to attending classes

If your behaviour is considered to be unacceptable anymember of academic staff is able to issue an informal oralwarning and the University will support staff by invoking for-mal procedures where necessary You can read more aboutUCLan expectations in the regulations for the Conduct of Stu-dents

122 Health and Safety

As a student of the University you are responsible for the safetyof yourself and for that of others around you You must under-stand and follow all the regulations and safety codes neces-sary for a safe campus environment Please help to keep itsafe by reporting any incidents accidents or potentially unsafesituations to a member of staff as soon as possible

1221 General Points

Safety assessments have been undertaken for each moduleof your course and you will be advised of all applicable safetycodes and any specific safety issues during the induction toyour course and modules During your Laboratory session youwill be given specific and important information on Health andSafety

There are some general rules that we ask everyone to ob-serve

1 Bags and coats should be stowed away under tables orbenches to avoid them becoming trip hazards

2 There is no eating or drinking in any laboratories or teach-ing rooms except during Official Functions

3 Please dispose of litter thoughtfully so that teachingspaces remain safe and tidy

4 The University buildings are no smoking areas

5 In the event of a fire alarm sounding please make yourway in an orderly fashion to the outside of the building andthe fire assembly points by following the fire exit signsDo not use the lifts

6 In the case of any other emergency follow the instructionsof the member of staff

You must ensure that you understand and apply all necessarysafety codes These form an essential element of your per-sonal development and contribute to the safety of others

1222 Dress Code

The University does not specify an explicit dress code for stu-dents beyond the expectation that they will ldquodress appropri-atelyrdquo for the learning or teaching activity in which they areparticipating There are two occasions when this might be var-ied

Laboratories Students may be asked to adhere to theUCLan Student Dress Policy concerning Health and Safetyin Laboratories and workshops Most of these rules weredrawn up for activities in ldquowet labsrdquo eg chemical or biolog-ical environments Nevertheless there will be times whenstudents must ensure that they are dressed in an appropri-ate manner for their environment eg reducing the dangerof entanglement of lose clothing or hair wearing of protec-tive gloveseyewearetc Please see the appropriate Labora-tory Handbook for more information

ExamsSecurity Students must bring their ID cards to ex-ams so that their identity can be verified Likewise ID cardsshould be carried on campus at all time for the same purposePlease be aware that this means we may have to visuallycheck that you match the photo on the card The Universitywill naturally observe sensitivity with regards to facial cover-ings in these circumstances but it is expected that studentswill co-operate with such requests

12 HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

123 Data Protection and Confidentiality

Personal information about you is gathered by the Universityvia a number of different routes This includes the informationthat you provide during your application (contact details priorqualifications personal reference) your enrolment (home ad-dress contact details etc) and your academic profiles (mod-ules grades reassessment decisions etc)

1231 Duty of Care

All students at UCLan are adults That means we cannot sharepersonal data about you with other individuals without your ex-press permission This even extends to the different Serviceswithin UCLan

Data Protection means that your tutors will not be told ofproblems in your accommodation counselling session finan-cial problems details of Extenuating Circumstances applica-tions and similar events unless you give your express permis-sion Please do not assume that we already know you arein trouble

1232 Information about You

All of the personal information obtained from you and othersources in connection with your studies at the University willbe held securely and will be used by the University both duringyour course and after you leave the University for a variety ofpurposes These are all explained during the enrolment pro-cess at the commencement of your studies If you would likea more detailed explanation of the Universityrsquos policy on theuse and disclosure of personal information please contact theInformation Governance Officer Clark to the Board ServiceUniversity of Central Lancashire Preston PR1 2HE or emailDPFOIAuclanacuk

The most common use of personal data is in an anonymousform for the purposes of quality assurance and providing datato government funding agencies

124 Fitness to Study Procedure

The University your School and the Course Team are commit-ted to supporting you through your studies We recognise thatyour individual health is paramount in enabling you to makethe most of the opportunities offered to you

Nevertheless there may come a time when your healthor wellbeing deteriorates to the point that it raises questionsabout your fitness and suitability to continue studying Thismay come about due to a physical injury stress caused byacademic or financial stress depression or other mental is-sues

When these questions arise a process occurs called the ldquoFit-ness to Studyrdquo procedure as laid down in Appendix 4 of theRegulations for the Conduct of Students In brief it consists ofthree stages

Stage 1 ndash Emerging Concerns Matters are raised with thestudent by an appropriate member of staff and normal supportoptions within the University are discussed It is expected thatstudents will respond positively to this and co-operate with the

support offered This is identical to the Strike One of the non-attendance procedure and that is often where the necessity toinvoke the Fitness to Study Procedure is identified

Stage 2 ndash Continuing Concerns If the Stage 1 interven-tion has not resulted in a decisive improvement or if mattersare serious enough they will be escalated At Stage 1 the ini-tiative remains with the student At Stage 2 the initiative movesto the support services themselves A joint meeting betweenthe student the appropriate member of staff and a represen-tative from the Student Welfare amp Counselling service will bearrange An Action Plan will be put in place at that meeting in-cluding agreed support measures and conditions that the stu-dent must adhere to

Stage 3 ndash Significant or Persistent Concerns A failureof a student to engage with the Action Plan or persistent con-cerns will result in a Case Conference being convened by se-nior Heads of Support Schools andor Services This may re-sult in the student being suspended from studies This is not adisciplinary suspension but is intended to allow time for a fullassessment of the circumstances to be considered Pleasesee the Regulations for the Conduction of Students for moreinformation

The Fitness to Study procedure is not about punishing stu-dents with problems rather is it there to make sure that stu-dents in trouble get the help they need Classic warning signsinclude lack of attendance self-isolation from friends failure torespond to requests for communication We would rather getyou into a cycle of help with the Fitness to Study procedurethan simply have to assume that you have withdrawn from thecourse

15 Personal Development Planning

Students coming onto the course will be accustomed to a highly prescriptive taught regime The Foundation Year is designedto lead a student from this method of study on a regime where they are in charge of their own learning as an independentlearner thereby preparing the students for entry on to a BSc or BEng degree scheme

16 Admissions criteria

This programme is partly tailored towards students who have taken a non-traditional path to higher-education We embracea flexible set of entry criteria in the recognition that many applicants will not necessarily possess the ldquoright piecerdquo of paperor formal academic evidence of their skills Our applicants are envisaged to include mature students returning to educationschool leavers who were misadvised on their A-Level choices or other students who have otherwise just missed the nominalBSc (Hons) or BEng (Hons) entry requirements We thus welcome applications from mature students and those with non-standard entry qualifications

It is recognised that these candidates may not possesses a normal UCAS points tariff They will nevertheless be expected todemonstrate some aptitude interest and awareness of physics and mathematics Preference will be given towards candidateswho demonstrate a strong interest in the study area

Flexible entry means that we are happy to consider candidates with a range of different qualifications eg GCSE BTECcollege Foundation courses etc Nevertheless applicants must demonstrate that they are capable of achieving a suitableacademic standard For example for students using GCSEs to support their application we would request the equivalent ofgrade C or above in Single Science or Combined Science Each application will be assessed on it individual

Candidates should comply with the usual UCLan entry regulations as set out in Section E of the Academic RegulationsSpecifically section E241 ndash proficiency in English equivalent to or greater than IELTS Level 6 Additionally UCLan entryregulations say candidates for the degree must thus possess the equivalent of grade C or above GCSEs in English and Maths
