Biology

Assessment

Assessment is by three written exam papers. Questions involving the use of mathematical skills within Biology will contribute to 10% of the assessment. For the third paper students will be required to read a scientific article in advance of the exam and answer questions on this. Questions in this exam will be synoptic, with answers drawing on two or more topics. There will also be questions assessing the knowledge and understanding of the 18 core practicals carried out throughout the course.
