Frequently Asked Questions about the External Examiner tool (UWE academics)

What should be included in a package?

We suggest that the following documentation/files (if applicable) should be uploaded for the external examiner for each module run. The order should follow the list below to increase consistency for the examiner.

  • Module Handbook (if already in the Blackboard course you could just add a note telling the External where to find it)
  • Assignment Brief (if separate to the handbook)
  • Assessment/marking criteria
  • Guidance for markers
  • Moderation report for the sample
  • Module Report (last year's or this year’s depending on cycle)
  • Copy of Student Feedback (module evaluation and any mid-module feedback)

What do I do if coursework not available in Blackboard

Where coursework samples are not available on Blackboard, use the note to let the examiner know where to find them.
