Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
To be approved without Exam: FINAL MARK = F(45%) + AC(10%) + T(30%) + PL(15%)
where:
F [main test](45%) = written test to be held at the end of the semester.
AC [continuous evaluation](10%) = ‘assiduity’, ‘punctuality’, ‘participation’ and ‘attitude’ of the student in the classroom. Minimum attendance of 75% is required in TE, TP and PL classes. [The minimum AC score is 1.0]
Attention: Student workers are not exempt from this AC Continuous Evaluation. They should contact the lecturer at the beginning of the semester to make arrangements for periodic “Tests” at an appropriate time.
T [work](30%) = PowerPoint presentation [The minimum PL score is 2.0]
PL [practical work](15%) = Practical laboratory work [The minimum PL score is 1.5]
Attention: Evaluations AC, T and PL have minimums to be achieved
For those taking the exam: FINAL MARK = Exam(45%) + AC(10%) + T(30%) + PL(15%)
This applies to the Normal or Appeal Exams and is only for ADMITTED students!
