Evaluation methods
- Continuous assessment Written work,
Course grade calculation method
The continuous assessment mark is the weighted average of the courses evaluations. If the course includes practical labs (TP), the course mark is the weighted average of the TP mark and the mark of the other evaluations. If one of these two marks (TP or other evaluations) is less than 3.0, the course counts as failed and no mark is given.
