ASSESSMENT
Continuous and Written Assessment of Modules
Each module can be taught in either one semester or throughout the two
semesters (yearly modules).
Each module will be assessed over 100 marks.
Assessment will be based on a written examination of 2 to 3 hours’ duration (normally
paper of 2 hours’ duration for modules carrying three credits, and 3-hour paper for
modules carrying six credits) and on continuous assessment done during the semester or
year.
Students will take their written examinations for all modules, whether taught in semester
1 or in semester 2 or both, except for MST 2122(3) at the end of the academic year.
Relevant information will be provided to them prior to delivery of the modules.
The continuous assessment will count for 20 - 30% for all undergraduate programmes
unless otherwise specified in the programme structures.
Continuous assessment may be based on laboratory work, seminars and/or assignments
and should include at least 1 class test.
For all yearly modules, the compulsory class test will be held at the end of Semester 1 of
that academic year unless stated otherwise in the Programme Structure.
2
Special examinations (e.g class tests) will be arranged at the end of semester 1 or
semester 2 for exchange students who have registered only for one semester. In case of
yearly modules, credits will be assigned on a pro-rata basis.
An overall total of 40% for combined continuous assessment and written examination
components would be required to pass the module, without minimum threshold within
the individual continuous assessment and written examination. The same criterion will
apply for modules being assessed jointly. Note that all overall mark for the two modules
will be considered and not the individual marks for each of the two modules.
