Oxford University Final Honours Schools 2007

Mathematics Part C

Notice to Candidates offering Dissertations

I am writing to you about the submission and assessment of dissertations in Mathematics Part C.

Two copies of your dissertation, identified only by your candidate number, should be sent to the Chairman of Examiners, FHS of Mathematics Part C, Examination Schools, Oxford, to arrive no later than noon on Friday 16 March.

Please make sure that you do not write your name or college on any part of your work, but you should put your candidate number on every page.

You also need to complete the Certificate of Originality. This should be included in the envelope with the two copies of the dissertation. (This declaration will be removed by the Chairman of Examiners, and the assessors of your work will not be able to identify you.)

You should write on the envelope your candidate number and the words `Dissertation, FHS of Mathematics Part C'.

It is important that you submit your dissertation on time. You should be aware that the formal consequence of missing the deadline is withdrawal from the examination, just as if one had failed to take a written paper at the appointed time. At the very least, a penalty can be imposed for late submission. You are advised to consult the Senior Tutor of your college if for good cause you are unable to meet the stipulated deadline.

The dissertation will be marked by assessors who are experts on the subject. A USM mark in the range 0-100 will be awarded. 25% of the marks will be attributed to content, 50% to the mathematics and the remaining 25% to presentation (including reference to source material).
