Assessment Method
The School applies the principle of continuous assessment (practical/written and additional assessment) according to the nature of the course (practical or theoretical). Specifically, the performance of the student is evaluated through at least two different methods, based on the Assessment Criteria which have been disclosed and approved by the School. One of these methods is mandatory and involves the final practical or written examination (depending on the nature of the course) for each semester.
The percentage of the final examination in the overall grade cannot exceed 60%. The remaining 40% of the grade is derived from alternative forms of assessment such as assignments, presentations, participation, etc. Oral exams may only be used as supplementary to other assessment methods.
