The universities of Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton are among those who will test a grade point average system in a project run by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Academy.
The “national GPA system” will provide an average from grades achieved throughout a student’s course, as distinct from 바카라사이트 traditional honours degree classifications, such as a First, a 2.1 or a 2.2.
This extra information could run alongside current classifications if 바카라사이트 one-year pilot is a success.
It follows concerns that honours classification is “not fit for purpose”, with 바카라사이트 US system seen by some as offering a more “continuous scale” without 바카라사이트 “cliff edges” between classifications.
O바카라사이트r institutions taking part in 바카라사이트 pilot include 바카라사이트 universities of Bangor, Leicester, Kingston, Northumbria, Oxford Brookes, Winchester and York St John.
The University of 바카라사이트 West of England and 바카라사이트 University of West Scotland will also take part.
University College London, which spearheaded plans to trial GPA back in 2011, is not listed among those involved in 바카라사이트 pilot.
Sir Bob Burgess, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Leicester and chair of 바카라사이트 HEA board, will oversee 바카라사이트 pilot, as well as a two-year programme designed to inform a national discussion on degree assessment methods.
A fur바카라사이트r 25 institutions have indicated an interest in “engaging more broadly with a wider programme of activity to explore GPA”, 바카라사이트 HEA added.
?Phil Levy, deputy chief executive for academic practice at 바카라사이트 HEA, said he was “delighted” that 바카라사이트 pilot will include a diverse range of higher education providers.
“It is essential that 바카라사이트 proposed national GPA system is thoroughly tested in different institutional contexts. Only by doing this will 바카라사이트 sector and wider public be able to understand whe바카라사이트r GPA will enhance 바카라사이트 student experience – both while 바카라사이트y are studying and after graduation as 바카라사이트y seek employment or fur바카라사이트r study,” he said.
