FORM OF ASSESSMENT A
Three Class Questions | 3 points
Final Exam | 15 marks
Laboratories | 2 marks
The final exam, in the exam season (regular season or appeal season), is marked out of 15 and consists of 2 parts:
Theoretical part .................................. 7 marks (minimum 2 marks)
Practical part ................................. 8 marks (minimum 2 marks)
Students who do not achieve the minimum marks will be considered to have failed.
The theoretical part is without consultation; the practical part is with consultation of a form provided by the teacher at the time of the assessment.
The rules for assessing the laboratories are set out in the document entitled Rules for the operation and assessment of laboratory classes.
FORM OF ASSESSMENT B
