Lecture and tutorials
Attending lectures and tutorials is compulsory. If you are not able to attend a lecture or tutorial, please inform the tutor of the course. Being absent without notification can result in a lower grade or exclusion from the final exam or essay.
Assessment method
Tutorials 30%, midterm test 30%, end-term test 40%
There are no resits for the tutorials. Resits for exams concern all the material for the full 70%, so there will be no separate resits for mid- and end-term tests. The grade for the resits replaces both the original grades for the mid- and end-term tests.
