Structure of Papers

ALWAYS READ THE RUBRIC. However Mathematics papers normally have the following structure:

(1) First year honours papers are 2-hour exams, with six or seven questions; you may attempt as many questions as you wish, but only the best four are counted.

(2) Second year optional honours papers (MATH7102, 7202, 7302,7402,7501,7601) are 2-hour exams, with six questions; you may attempt as many questions as you wish, but only the best four are counted.

Change from 2010-11: The four second year first term modules MATH2101, MATH2201, MATH2301, MATH2401 will have a Section A/Section B structure. Section A is compulsory: you answer all questions in this section. You then attempt as many questions as you wish from Section B, but only the best 2 will be counted. The exams are still 2 hours.

(3) Third/fourth year honours papers are 2-hour exams, with five questions: you may attempt as many questions as you wish, but only the best four solutions are counted.

For information about the criteria for passing a module, please see the assessment section of Teaching and Learning.

Papers set by other departments may have different structures and rubrics.
