Background
We are conducting a review of LSE's current assessment regulations and creating a set of recommended changes, which we will then lobby for LSE to implement. The current regulations create a negative experience for many, exacerbating inequalities and poor mental health in the student community. Our goal is to make LSE's assessment regulations fairer and more empathetic towards students. We have identified seven academic regulations which require reviewing:
- Exceptional Circumstances
- Fit to Sit
- Appeals
- Academic Misconduct
- Extensions
- Late Submissions
- Evidence Requirements
OBJECTIVES
- Undertake a review of LSE's assessment regulations
- Create a report with recommendations
- Lobby LSE to commit to reforming the assessment regulations in line with our recommendations
