Student review [#10729] for Business Administration and Economics
at King's College London

The module content was interesting and challenging, although the overall lack of organisation and transparency from the teachers and the KBS administration was shocking. Having to wait until beginning of December to get our examinations calendar considering that a large number of students are international wanting to go home for Christmas is frustrating. Having had to take exams which were poorly made and that grading criteria and exam development differs from what we are taught by lecturers and the real results affected negatively our grades. The lack of transparency for grading and an imposed unreasonable cap on grades and instructions from the board to grade students lower to reduce the number of first is infuriating and unreasonable. Therefore, students are capped at 80 for their qualitative modules since the new instructions stated that ‘in order to get over 80 the quality of the assignments should be the same as a publishable paper which is unfeasible for a student working on a module for one term among 4 other modules compared to publishing academics with over 10 years of research in one specific topic.
