 2. Year mark and final examination

To gain admission to the examination, you must have submitted at least 1 assignment during
the year. You will see that TUT101 refers to a year mark of 50% however this was revised to 1
assignment for the year.

To pass the module you have to achieve a final mark of 50% or more.

The final mark is calculated as follows:

Final mark = (Year mark x 0.2) + (Examination mark x 0.8)

For example: if you have a year mark of 68% and an examination mark of 50%, we would
calculate your final mark as follows:

Final mark = (68 x 0.2) + (50 x 0.8)

= (13.6) + (40)
= 53.6

This module is offered as a year module.

You will write your examination in January/February 2024. The exam duration and format will be
communicated.

The exam dates are communicated via the examination timetable on myUnisa.
