Assessment and Coursework

Coursework counts for 70% of the final module mark and this is made up of weekly review quizzes or exercises (20%) and coursework assignments (50%). The remaining 30% of the final module mark is made up of a Class Test. This module has a Qualifying Fail condition which means that – you must pass each of the individual topics (C and C++) in order to pass the module overall. The weighted average of all your C assessment components combined should equate to a pass, and the weighted average of all your C++ assessment components combined should equate to a pass too.
