ASSESSMENT


Each module is assessed on the basis of termly modular examinations and on the basis of assignments submitted as part of the course. Each module is assessed out of 100. The minimum mark required to pass a module is 40% which gives a grade ‘E’. 80% (plus) is required for a grade ‘A’.


Progress reports and regular feedback are provided to develop your learning in weekly tutorials.


At the end of the course a certificate is awarded detailing the results of each subject.
