Grading
Assessment of Academic Work
BUUIC instructors use two evaluation methods: continuous
assessment and examinations.
Each course has a final written examination that normally lasts
for three hours. Continuous assessment will include lecture
assignments in the form of essays or short answer questions,
and/or projects/case studies. The student’s result in a course
will depend on his or her performance in both the continuous
assessment and final examination in addition to attendance to
the class for at least 80 percent of total contact hours in that
course. (i.e., 3 credits hour = 45 hours, students must attend
class for at least 36 hours).
