2. If still not satisfied, students should complete an Application for Review of Assessment Marks form, detailing the reason for review. This form can be found on the KOI website and is also available at KOI Reception (Market St and Kent St). 3. Application for Review of Assessment Marks forms must be submitted as explained on the form within ten (10) working days of the return of the marked assessment, or within five (5) working days after the return of the assessment if the assessment is returned after the end of the trimester.

Where students are not satisfied with the results of an assessment, including mid-trimester exams, they have the right to appeal. The process is as follows: 1. Discuss the assessment with their tutor or lecturer – students should identify where they feel more marks should have been awarded – students should provide valid reasons based on the marking guide provided for the assessment. Reasons such as “I worked really hard” are not considered valid.

Uses appropriate software 10% Missing or many serious mistakes Major mistakes Minor mistakes Written presentation 10% Poor written expression with many errors. No/poor skills to synthesize and organise arguments or explanations. Difficult to understand or make no sense. Poor structural framework and no evidence of effort made. Written expression limited to basic, with some errors. Basic skills to synthesize and organise arguments or explanations. Relatively clear and understandable. Evidence of some effort made, though not sufficient, for structural framework. Good written expression with few errors. Good and solid skills to synthesize and organise arguments or explanations and make it clear to understand. Evidence of fair effort made in demonstrating a sound and logical framework of the structural flow.

Analysis Sections of statistical methods to make inferences. 20% Does not use correct and complete quantitative analysis. Does not make relevant and correct conclusions. Uses basic analysis but uses the quantitative analysis as the basis for tentative, basic judgments, is hesitant or uncertain about drawing conclusions from this work. Uses mostly correct and complete quantitative analysis. Makes mostly relevant and correct conclusions. Uses correct and complete quantitative analysis. Makes mostly relevant and correct conclusions. Uses correct and complete quantitative analysis. Makes sophisticated, relevant and correct conclusions. Identify practical business situations to which statistical techniques are applicable 10% No situation identified A situation is identified but it is not really suitable for statistics. A situation is identified however the student does not explain why statistics is applicable. A suitable situation is identified and the student adequately explains why statistical techniques are suitable. A suitable situation is identified and the student thoroughly explains why statistical techniques are suitable.
