Lectures, practical sessions, individual work

Throughout the semester, following lectures on the relevant topics, seminars are held during which assessment takes place in accordance with the types of work and forms of assessment described in section 7.1. Students who have accumulated a total of fewer than the critical minimum of 36 marks will not be permitted to sit the exam. The final semester mark is composed of marks obtained by the student during the completion of the specified types and forms of assessment, and marks obtained in the exam; the maximum weighting is distributed as follows: 60 marks (60%) – semester assessment and 40 marks (40%) – exam. If a student scores fewer than 24 marks in the exam (which is 60% of the 40 marks allocated to the exam), these are not added to the semester mark regardless of the number of marks obtained during the semester, and only the number of marks obtained during the semester is entered in the ‘final mark’ column of the examination record.
