Coursework Examinations

If you sit formal exams at Monash University, here’s some important information you need to know!

Special consideration

As a Monash student, you’re required to complete assessment tasks to demonstrate you have achieved the learning outcomes of the units. You normally have one chance to complete each assessment task or exam.

If you can’t complete an assessment task or exam due to exceptional circumstances beyond your control, you may be eligible for special consideration.

If you’re granted special consideration, you may be given an extension, another assessment or a deferred exam, but your original assessment result can’t be changed.

If you believe you were prejudiced in your performance during the examination for any reason, then it is important to either lodge a special consideration application within time, or make a formal complaint in writing to your unit leader.

Deferred exams and final assessment

If your application for special consideration is successful, you may be granted a deferred exam or alternative assessment task.

Supplementary exams and assessment

You can be granted a supplementary assessment for no more than two failed units in one course. The chief examiner for the unit will determine whether this is in the form of an additional exam or assessment task.

You do not apply for a supplementary exam or assessment task. If applicable, your faculty will offer it to you.

Alternative assessment arrangements

If you have a disability or medical condition, it may be possible to sit your exams under alternative or special conditions. Common alternative arrangements include:

• special venue
• specialised technical equipment or furniture

If you have concerns about your results

Not everyone will get the positive result they’re hoping for. If you have concerns about a result, don’t panic – see your options for a  failed unit (N or NGO) or withheld result (WI) . Your faculty can advise how to deal with these results or with an invalid unit. They can also let you know if you can view your exam scripts.

Course advice

If you fail an examination you can request to view the paper. It is important therefore to set up an appointment with your lecturer. Ascertain whether it has been re-marked by someone else.

The first step is to get some course advice by contacting your faculty during business hours. For contact details, see a list of  who to talk to for course advice .

Reduce anxiety and stress

If you need help dealing with stress or coping with study or university life, help is only a phone call away.

For an appointment during business hours, call  Monash Counselling & Psychological Services  on 9905 3020.

Examination Procedures

It is essential that all postgraduates recognise the necessity of strict adherence to all examination rules and procedures that are in effect at Monash University.

Exam Policy Changes

Please be aware that you can no longer cancel an exam once you have entered the exam venue to sit for the exam. If you become ill during an exam, you can ask for a nurse to attend you. If you cannot continue with the exam the nurse may (but does not have to) provide you with a medical certificate, which you can use to apply for special consideration. You also have the option to go to the doctors after you leave the exam but you must do this as soon as possible. If you leave the exam, make sure you speak to the exam staff to obtain an information sheet that explains what you need to do. In summary, it is important for you to remember that there is no longer any guarantee that special consideration will be granted, so if possible, try to finish the exam.

At the exam…

If you have a complaint about examination questions not making sense, an invigilator present during the examination will usually contact the relevant academic to clarify the situation at the time of the examination.

If you ask an invigilator the meaning of a question or the meaning of word in a question – the invigilator is instructed not to assist. Invigilators are not permitted to interpret words or questions for students. This is because they are not academics, and do not have any special knowledge of the area and there is a risk that even in interpreting a non-technical phrase, they could be providing the wrong information.

Each module covers politics, society, culture and economics, so that users might experience a given time through the words, sounds and sights that a common Soviet citizen would have encountered.
• East View universal databases This link opens in a new window East View Universal Databases offers access to databases, digital archives, popular and scholarly periodicals, and eBooks from Eastern Europe, in native and translated languages. The East View Online Resources home page displays all the online resources that Monash University staff and students have access to. Popular digital archives accessed include Moscow News, Soviet Woman, The Current Digest of the Russian Press.
• The Current Digest of the Russian Press The Current Digest of the Soviet Press (1949-1991), followed by The Current Digest of the Post-Soviet Press (1992-2010), and now The Current Digest of the Russian Press, presents a selection of Russian-language press materials, carefully translated into English. The translations are intended for use in teaching and research. They are therefore presented as documentary materials without elaboration or comment, and state the opinions and views of the original authors, not of the publisher of the journal.
• Moscow news digital archive This link opens in a new window Moscow News (1930-2014) was the oldest English-language newspaper in Russia and, arguably, the newspaper with the longest democratic history. From a mouthpiece of the Communist party to an influential advocate for social and political change, the pages of Moscow News reflect the shifting ideological, political, social and economic currents that have swept through the Soviet Union and Russia in the last century.
• Socialism on film This link opens in a new window Socialism on Film is a comprehensive online collection of of films from the communist world reveals war, history, current affairs, culture and society as seen through the socialist lens. It spans most of the twentieth century and covers countries such as the USSR, Vietnam, China, Korea, much of Eastern Europe, the GDR, Britain and Cuba.
• Soviet woman digital archive This link opens in a new window Soviet Woman (1945-1991) was a sociopolitic and literary illustrated magazine spotlighting the life of women in the USSR. It began as a bimonthly magazine tasked with countering anti-Soviet propaganda by introducing Western audiences to the lifestyle of Soviet women. Soviet Woman digital archive is published in English.
• Ogonek Digital Archives Ogonek is one of the oldest weekly illustrated magazines in Russia with it being continuously published since 1923. This digital archive allows searchable full-text and full-colour digital copies of individual issues from 1923 to 2018
• Stalin digital archive. This link opens in a new window The Stalin Digital Archive (SDA) is a result of collaboration between the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History (RGASPI) and Yale University Press. The SDA contains primary and secondary source material related to Joseph Stalin's personal biography, his work in government, and his conduct of foreign affairs. Highlights include: foreign policy with Germany before World War II; communications during the Great Purges; relations with Western intellectuals and leaders; and private notations on many Soviet leaders. The archive also contains full transcriptions of all of the volumes in Yale University Press's acclaimed Annals of Communism (AOC) series.
• Harvard Project on the Soviet Social System Online A collection of digital facsimiles of transcripts of interviews conducted with Soviet émigrés to West Germany, Austria, and the United States, in 1950 and 1951. The materials are in English. The interviews and most manuals and guides are full-text searchable from the HPSSS Online home page.
• Hoover Institution: Soviet Union Despite the Iron Curtain’s dampening effect on collecting and preserving materials from the USSR, the Hoover Archives holds a number of significant collections relating to Soviet dissidents and defectors, such as Andrei Siniavskii and Aleksandr Ginzburg and Yuri Yarim-Agaev; while the NTS Samizdat collection is one of the most extensive such collections in the world. A series of joint microfilming and digitization projects from the early 1990s until today have expanded Hoover’s holdings on the Soviet state and Communist Party apparatus and on the workings of the KGB in the USSR and its national republics to enable researchers to study both sides of the equation. In addition, a number of collections deal with US-Soviet relations, including citizen diplomacy and friendship organizations that tried to defuse international tensions during the Cold War. For the Cold War itself – as a battleground of ideologies – the RFE/RL Broadcast and Corporate Records are an unparalleled resource.
• World communism : pamphlets from McMaster University This link opens in a new window This collection contains un-catalogued pamphlets about communism, socialism, and class struggle. The pamphlets are global in scope, although they are all in English unless otherwise noted.
