Grading and Course Mark

 

Your final mark will be based on the following:

Each module is worth 6.125%

       - Each assignment is worth an equal percentage of your module grade. If there are 5 assignments, each is worth 20%, if there are 4, each is worth 20%, if there are 3, 33%. 

This makes up 43% of your total grade

  

There are three timed essays exams in the course: one each in Modules 5, 6 and 7.

The essays make up a combined 27% of the final mark. 9% for each essay. 

 

The final exam makes up the remaining 30%

       -The Written portion is worth 15%

       -The Multiple Choice is worth 15%

 

   The Diploma Prep and Check in sessions are mandatory parts of the course, but they are formative assessment, not summative, and therefore are not part of your final mark. Look through the grade sections to see your current grade.
