Reporting requirements

The report template is available as a download here.

We look forward to receiving your report by email to eesoton@soton.ac.uk as soon after the Board of Examiners as possible, normally within 4 weeks of the meeting.

As you can see from the report template, we ask you to consider the soundness of the assessment process and opportunities for education enhancement and ask you to comment on:

  • the appropriateness of standards set
  • comparability of student performance
  • assessment processes
  • student performance
  • strengths and innovative features
  • the information made available to you
  • enhancements to the student experience

You are requested to submit your report to eesoton@soton.ac.uk no later than four weeks after the final Board of Examiners meeting for the academic year of the report.

You should expect to receive a response to your report from the School within eight weeks of submitting it. Payment of fees is conditional upon receipt of the report.

Good Practice in completing the report.

Please remember that these reports are published (in full) to students, it is therefore important that student names and numbers are not used at all.  It is also advised that the incorporation of dissertation titles or specific student examples/assessment/incidents/discussion are not included.  Should you have concerns about individual students you should raise these directly with the Programme Team or Examinations Officer or during the Board of Examiners. 

As the names of teaching staff are already in the public domain, the restrictions on mentioning them are less critical, but again, keep in mind that these reports will be published to students, and any issues that you wish to raise regarding their professional practice or regarding any interactions with staff can be raised directly with the Programme Team or the Deputy Head of School (Education).

New examiners may find this example of a completed EE Report Form useful as a guide to the level of detail expected.
