Hi everyone.

So basically, in this semester (B), one of my modules was 'Introduction to Microeconomics.'

Depending on your course, students will either do the module in semester A or semester B.

In semester A, all students had to hand in 1 essay which makes up 50%of the module, and then they sit an 'In class test' at the end of the semester . Which consisted of multiple choice questions. This makes up the other 50%.

In semester B, the structure of the module completely changed.
We still had the essay to do, which was now worth 30%. Online homework tests:confused: , which were worth 20%. And an 'In class test' which was worth 50%.

However

The 'In class test' which I took on Friday, was a completely different format. There was a Part A which had multiple choice questions and Part B which was 4 short essay questions.

Are they allowed to do this??

Because from where I see it, the results that everyone gets won't show a true reflection of how well people performed overall, because the format was completely different. For all I know, I and a load of other students could of been at a disadvantage doing this test than the other one students sat in Semester A or vice versa.

The obvious answer would come from my university, I will ask them tomorrow when I go in, I just want to know what you lot think first?
Or if anyone has had this before.

Thanks in advance:smile:
