LUSI Academic Marks module: new features
1. Cross Curricular Mark Submission Screen
LUSI allows you to copy marks from one item of work to another item of work that is
attached to a different module.
1. To load cross curricular marks, select “Element marks” from the Records
menu, then select “Cross Curricular Mark Submission”. The screen that
loads looks like this:
2. In the original work frame choose a session
3. Choose the department. (only departments that you have access to will be
available – Please contact the registry if you notice departments that you
administer not being shown)
4. Choose module.
5. Choose Cohort
6. Choose Assessment type.
7. Choose Work type.
8. Choose the piece of work.
9. The student list for the module chosen will now be loaded. As below.
10. In the cross curricular frame choose the department. (only departments that
you have access to will be available – Please contact the registry if you
notice departments that you administer not being shown)
11. Choose module.
12. Choose Cohort
13. Choose Assessment type.
14. Choose Work type.
15. Choose the piece of work.
16. Now click the Verify button.
 This will check the two sets of students on both courses, and will only
load marks for those present in the record for both pieces of work.
Therefore any students in the grid which are not enrolled on the second
module need to be removed from the grid. They will be displayed in
the first part of the message block.
 Any student that is enrolled on the first module but not enrolled on the
second module will have to have their marks entered separately. They
will be displayed in the second part of the message block – so note the
names for later reference.

2. Calculating module results
2.1 Calculate Assessment Totals Screen
To calculate the results for a module at assessment type (e.g. ‘coursework’) level go
to ‘Records’ in the top bar menu, then select ‘Element marks’ then select ‘Calculate
Assessment totals’. The following form appears:
1. Choose the department (only departments that you have access to will be
available).
2. Choose the relevant module.
3. Choose the relevant cohort (if the module has only one cohort this will
appear by default).
4. Choose the assessment type (e.g. ‘coursework’, ‘examination’).
5. The submissions box will now display all the work items that make up the
selected assessment type and all the students studying this module and
their current marks that are allocated to the chosen assessment type:
6. Marks are displayed using the following font colours: black = normal
mark, red = disciplinary mark, blue = excused.
7. Click the Verify button (this will check that all relevant students have a
full set of marks).
8. Click the Calculate button. The result for each student appears in the ‘Total’
column. For example, if a student has done three essays, each of equal value, as
their coursework, and got marks of 50, 55 and 65 then the calculated overall
value for their coursework will be 57% (50+55+65/3 = 56.6). Similarly, if a student
takes two exam papers, each of equal value, and obtains marks of 50 and 60,
then their overall examination result will be 55% (50+60/2 = 55).
9. Click the ‘Upload’ button to upload the marks to the LUSI Student Record.
2.2 Calculate Overall Totals Screen
To calculate the overall results for a module, based on the marks from the various
assessment types (coursework plus examination, etc) go to ‘Records’ in the top bar
menu, then select ‘Element marks’ then select
‘Calculate
Overall totals’. The following form appears:
1. Choose the department. (only departments that you have access to will be
available)
2. Choose the relevant module: the final results for the various assessment
types (coursework, exam etc) will appear.
3. Click the Verify button (this will check that all relevant students have a
full set of marks).
4. Click the Calculate button. The overall result for each student appears in
the ‘Total’ column. For example, if a student achieves 50% overall for
their coursework (which counts as 25% of the assessment for the module)
and 70% for their examination (which counts for the other 75%) then the
final result will be calculated as 65% (50 x 0.25 + 70 x 0.75).
Click the ‘Upload’ button to upload the marks to the LUSI Student Record.
2.3 General notes on rounding
(i) LUSI will round up/down marks at the end of each calculation – so, if a student
received a mark of 53.7 for their coursework and 43.2 for their exam, that will be
logged as 54 and 43. Where assessment type marks are combined and, in turn, lead to
an integer, this will again be rounded up.
(ii) Marks of .5 and greater will be rounded upwards, .4 or less round downwards.
