CSR - Seen Paper

Dear all,

The seen exam paper (10 questions) will be available after 8/5/2013, 23:59 (I believe this would be UK time). The paper will be available under the "Assessment" tab on the left of the page in KLE.

Please note that I will have a viewing of the paper on Thursday, 930am (ROOM - LH1).  It will be only for about 5 - 10 minutes. Absolutely no questions/discussions will be done as it is against the Code of Conduct just only viewing.

This viewing is strictly optional and no attendance will be taken. It is also to ensure that all students have fair access to viewing of the paper.

Thank you.
