Assessment activities:

In order to pass the subject, students following a continuous assessment will be requested to fullfill the following requirements:
1) Deliverable tasks. Students will be required to work in groups or individually in order to integrate the theoretical knowledge acquired from the lectures. All deliverable tasks account for 30% of the final mark. Failing to comply with the format/delivery requirements will result in zero.

2) Practical exam: two techniques will be performed in pairs. The practical exam will account for 40% of the total mark. A minimum mark of 5/10 is required to pass. Students failing to achieve the minimum will be requested to sit the practical component of the BCE.

3) Theory exam: multiple choice questions (MCQ). It will account as 30% of the total mark. A penalty will be applied for incorrect answers. Nothing is deducted from unanswered questions. A minimum mark of 5/10 is required to pass. Students failing to achieve the minimum will be requested to sit the theoretical component of the BCE.

4) Participation in class can be discretionally used by teacher as part of the assessment.


A minimum attendance of 80% to practical workshops is mandatory. Failing to comply with attendance requirements will result in sitting the practical component of the BCE.

The BCE will be marked as Pass / No pass. Therefore, students who pass the BCE will have a maximum final subject qualification of 5.
