Assessment
Each module will be assessed over 100 marks (unless otherwise specified).
The continuous assessment will count for 20-30% of the overall percentage mark of the
module(s), except for a Programme where the structure makes for other specific provision(s).
Continuous assessment may be based on laboratory work, seminars and/or assignments and
should include at least two (2) assignments/tests per module. There will be a compulsory class
test for all modules taught in semester 1 at the end of semester 1 of the given academic year
unless stated otherwise in the Programme Structure.
An overall total of 40% for combined continuous assessment and written examination
components would be required to pass the module, without minimum thresholds 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.
