EXAMINATIONS

Requests for an exemption from any examination should
be forwarded to the Course Coordinator, together with an
explaination as to why the current examinations are
pedagogically inappropriate for the students enrolled in
the course. Submission of course syllabuses from other
colleges may not reflect an exemption until that exemption
has been formally approved by the Course Coordinator.
Weightings of the Final Examination
Weighting of the Coursework
EXAMINATION DOCKETS
No final examination may count more than 60% toward the final grade in the module.
All students must obtained their examination dockets from the Examination
Unit during the study week, prior to the examination week. Both the examination
docket and the student card must be placed on the top right-hand side of the
examination desk, and they must be  visible to the Invigilators when students
are asked to sign the examination attendance slip.

Students who failed to produce a valid student card or examination docket must
report to the Office of Admissions and Records, for verification before he/she
can be allowed to sit for the examination.

EXEMPTIONS FROM EXAMINATIONS
Lecturers are encouraged to design their courses so that some component
of the final grade is derived from coursework. This approach helps to assess the
student's performance during the particular semester, rather than relying on a
single assessment from the final examination alone. Courseworks may include
tests / examinations, presentation / participation, essays, assignments and lab
reports.

Every module clearly states the contribution of each component of the
coursework, and no coursework may count more than 40% towards the
final grade in the module.
Assessment of the course is by examination and coursework.
Availability of past examination papers to students
To ensure that all students have equal access to, and familiarity with
the types of questions typically asked on the final examination, the
Library will keep on reserve:

(a)  copies of all final examinations administered during the previous
       three years of currently-offered modules or;

(b)  a reasonable sampling of the type of questions asked
