Assessment and grading

Assessment is based entirely on continuous assessment. There is no midterm exam. The final grade is the unweighted arithmetic average of three assessments: a 40-minute in-class test (tutorial), a 90 minutes in-class essay (tutorial), and a comprehensive end-of-semester exam in the lecture hall.

A grade-standardization procedure, for which the major test will serve as the reference, will take place at the end of the semester in order to harmonize grading across the different tutorial groups.

We would like to stress that careful and thorough reading of the tutorial booklet will be an essential condition for success in the end-of-semester major test in the lecture hall.
