  • Any other ways of assessment.

Duties

• Attendance of lectures is very important.

• Attendance of practicals is compulsory.

  • Three unjustified absences lead to exclusion from the course.

  • Five justified or unjustified absences also lead to exclusion from the course.

  • Justification of absence must be taken to the department administration to stamp it – within three days.

  • Stamped justification must be shown to the tutorial/practical instructor during the following session.

Moodle

• You are expected to have a functioning Moodle account to access course material and take online tests.

  • You should fix any problems you have with your Moodle account right away. Tolerance in this matter is zero.

• Work is individual unless stated otherwise.

  • Identical solutions are given a nice round zero like this one: 0.

Doing Well

• Try to get as much as possible from the lectures.

• Keep up with the lectures and practical sessions. Falling behind is your worst enemy.
