Assessment System

% end-of-term-examination 25
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 75

Calendar of Continuous assessment

End-of-term exam (25%)
Assignments, Quiz  (75%)

In order to pass the subject, two requirements need to be met:

1) to have a MINIMUM mark of 4.0 in the end-of-term exam and the quizzes
2) to have a minimum  overall mark of 5.0/10 (weighing 25% the end-of-term exam mark and 75% the mark of the continuous evaluation).
