• Module Graded (numeric value) or Ungraded (Pass/Not Passed): Graded
• Continuous Assessment detail(s): Laboratories 12% Assignments 20% Laboratory Tests 36% Class Tests 32%

• Pass standard: 40%
• Could the result of this module be capped? No
• Pass 40% - students are not required to pass the assessment components separately – an overall pass mark of 40% is acceptable.
• Penalties: Laboratories, assignments, laboratory tests, and class tests cannot be repeated. Late submission of the assignments will be subject to a penalty of 10% of the assessment grade for each day (or part thereof) overdue. Late submission of other assessments will not be accepted.

• Are supplemental/resit registrations permitted? Yes
• Supplemental Examination: This module is 100% continually assessed. Hence, there is no repeat Autumn examination, as there is no facility available for repeating the continuous assessment elements of the module. However, students who obtain between 30 – 40% are eligible for supplemental assessment over the summer period. In such instances, the final module grade will be capped at 40%.
