  • Continuous assessment (15 percent )

    There will be weekly sheets with problems which you should try to solve in your own time before they are discussed during the tutorial sessions. The continuous assessment consists of one midterm test which will comprise questions similar to those on the weekly tutorial sheets. The continuous assessment counts for 15 percent of the overall assessment. The final written examination counts for 85 percent of the overall assessment.
