Student Absence vs Final Marks: Absence Leads to Failure

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 tutorial/practical sessions. Falling behind is your worst enemy.
