(1) In the case of the assessment of students’ performance over a period (not assessed through a written examination or written assignments), such as placements and other study-units involving the assessment of a number of students over a period, that does not render it possible or practicable for the members of a Board of Examiners to assess all the students themselves:

(c) individual examiners shall assess students according to the criteria set by the Board of Examiners to whom they shall be required to submit a report on each student;

(d) the Board of Examiners may, at its discretion, examine or re-examine any student; and

(e) final decisions shall be taken by the Board of Examiners after having considered the reports of the individual examiners and provided that any student declared to have failed would have been examined by at least two examiners, of whom at least one is a member of the Board of Examiners.

(2) The Board of Examiners shall be convened:

(a) during the latter half of each assessment session to consider the progress of students and take appropriate action in terms of the relevant provisions of this regulation; and

(b) after the end of the assessment session to agree on the final results.
