Department of Information Studies Policy on Assessment of the Use of English Language
1. Importance is attached to the literate presentation of work and examiners should take the quality of English into account when marking individual work.
2. Examiners may recommend that a pass is not awarded when the level of literacy in the examination as a whole falls short of an acceptable standard.
3. In cases where English is not the first language, minor linguistic errors and stylistic limitations will not detrimentally affect marks if the communication of ideas is deemed acceptable.
