At the beginning of the course, detailed instructions regarding the various assessment tasks will be provided.
Review. When the provisional final grade is issued (prior to the formal submission of grades), the instructor will provide written notification of the date and time for grade review. The review of each assessment task will be scheduled by mutual agreement between the instructor and the student.
Resits. Students will be eligible for resit if they have completed assessment tasks accounting for at least 66.6% of the total grade and have obtained a weighted average of 3.5 or higher.
At the time of issuing the provisional final grade, the instructor will inform students in writing of the resit procedure. A separate resit activity may be proposed for each failed or missed assessment, or several may be grouped into a single resit task. Under no circumstances may the resit consist of a single task equivalent to 100% of the final grade.
“Not Assessable” Status. A student will receive a “Not Assessable” mark if the submitted assessment evidence corresponds to a maximum of one-quarter of the overall course grade.
Irregularities in assessment tasks. In theevent of academic misconduct (e.g. plagiarism, copying, identity fraud), the corresponding assessment will be graded as 0. If multiple irregularities are detected, the final course grade will also be 0. Assessment tasks involving irregularities are not eligible for resit.
Single assessment components: the single assessment will consist of five tests:
