Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

The internal assessment mark will consist of TWO Tests (worth 20% each) as follows:

Monday 13 August 6.00-8.00pm PWC & ELT.G.01 (20%)

Thursday 27 September 6.00-8.00pm PWC & ELT.G.01 (20%)

plus the total tutorial component (10%).

Please take your ID Card to both tests – if you do not, your test script and mark will be with-held until you present this to the Maths & Stats Reception (G.3.19).

An UNRESTRICTED pass (i.e. C- or better) will only be awarded to students who achieve both a final overall mark of at least 50% and an Examination mark of at least 40%. A final overall grade of RP (Restricted pass) will NOT be accepted as a prerequisite for entry into any higher level Maths paper.

Calculators will NOT be permitted in Tests or the Final Examination.

COPYING of other students’ Assignments/Tests will receive zero (this will include all students involved) and be reported to the Disciplinary Committee.
