It’s exam time again
Published by the Communications and Development Department
31 October 2002
University of Canterbury students are deep in study for their end-of-year examinations, which started this week.
While most of the 490 exams will be held on campus, some students will sit them elsewhere in the country and overseas, including Brunei, Japan and South Korea.
One hundred and eighty invigilators will supervise proceedings this year and about 44,000 individual scripts will have been handed in by the end of the last exam on Thursday November 14.
This year’s most popular subject is Statistics 1 (STAT 111), with 895 students preparing to sit the exam. Introduction to Macroeconomics (ECON 105) is next with 824 students, followed by Introduction to Management and Organisations (MGMT 101) with 767 students.
In a break with tradition, candidates’ will have pink-covered answer booklets this year rather than the usual blue ones.
Disability Support Services is making special arrangements for 95 students who are sitting 251 exams. These arrangements range from providing writers, allowing extra time and enlarged scripts, organizing special seating layouts and the ability to sit exams at home under supervision, and using computers with voice recognition and screen reader software.
