Overview of Assessment
Assessment in this competency includes quizzes, tests, assignments, projects and computer assisted learning.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment in this course comprises the following:
- Self-assessment online quizzes supplement topics learned in class (no marks)
- Accumulative tutorial assignment includes attendance of and participation in tutorial class sessions. Solutions to tutorial exercises will be assessed twice: at the end of week 8 (Part A ), and at the end of week 16 (part B). Accumulative tutorial assessment is worth 20% of the total mark.
- Mid-semester test (40%) covers topics 1 - 6. It will be conducted during class time in week 8.
- Final examination (40%) covers topics 7 - 13. It will be conducted during weeks 17-18.
