> Eligibility for final assessment/module examination
- Attendance at all practical sessions
- Theoretical session attendance > 80%
- Module score (assessments, feedback, lectures, surveys) > 80% (individual)
- Submission of individual summary product (at the end of the course)
> Module grade = 50% multiple-choice test + 40% research proposal + 10% module participation
Module participation (10%) = Completion of all formative assessments per lesson + Completion of all feedback forms after each lesson and at the end of the course
Formative assessments per lesson: These will be reopened to help instructors identify knowledge gaps within the class. Students are expected to complete these independently so that instructors can provide the best support after each lecture and during classroom sessions. The Department does not grade these; completion and academic integrity are the only requirements.
Feedback forms: In addition to formative assessments, the Department requires all students to complete feedback forms to enable instructors to adjust and improve teaching quality.
