COMP1200 Assessment

Assessment

The final mark is composed of two components, the class mark (C) and the exam mark (E), with the class mark worth 30% and the exam mark 70%, of the total assessment. The class mark and the exam mark will be given as a mark out of 100. Note that consistent scaling across all students may occur with these marks. The final mark will also be given as a mark out of 100 and will be calculated using the following formula:

Final Mark = 0.3*C + 0.7*E, if (C >= 40 and E >= 40)
= min (0.3*C + 0.7*E, C+10, E+10), otherwise

The minimum final mark required for a pass grade is 50. In addition, the above marking scheme ensures that students must obtain at least 40% in each component to pass the course.

The class mark, as stated earlier, is out of 100 and consists of the following components:

• Tutorial Preparation and Participation Mark - 12
• Lab Mark - 8
• Assignment 1 - Group report - 30 (Due Week 8)
• Assignment 2 - Individual Report - 50 (Due Week 12)

The exam mark is also out of 100 and consists of the following components:

• Mid-Semester Examination - 20 (Week 7)
• Final Exam - 80

Supplementary exams will be awarded only to those students who meet the following criteria:

He/she has obtained a final mark between 45 and 49, and by getting a bare pass (50) in the supplementary exam, will pass the course. (This will require a class mark of 50 or over.)

Mid-Semester Examination

The mid-semester examination will be Tuesday, April 9 (week 7) in the lecture place and time, and will cover material contained in the modules: Computer Architecture, Operating Systems and Networks, and Computation. The details of time/location of the mid-semester exam will be announced once they are finalized.

Note that there will be no supplementary mid-semester exam. If you miss this exam due to sickness or misadventure, then you should write a letter (not email) to the Lecture in Charge, stating the reason for missing the exam and attaching any supporting documentation (e.g., medical certificate). The letter should be written and sent as soon as possible after (or before) the exam (normally within a week). Students who are granted consideration will be given a mark for the mid-semester exam based on their final exam mark.
