 Evaluation strategy

Evaluation Strategy
 Must attend more than 80% of contact hours
(if not, not allow to take exam).
 Evaluating
3 Quizzes (Q) 30 %
2 Assignments (AS) 20%
Attendance (A) 10%
Final exam (FE) 40%
 Total score = 30% (Q) + 20% (AS) + 10%(A) + 40% (FE)
 Pass:
Total score ≥ 5 and
Final Examination ≥ 4 (of 10)
 Retake only the Final Exam when not passed
