CMOD6001 Attendance

10%/60% of the project mark will go for attendance. Students are expected to attend every class. The grade for attendance will be calculated as follows. If A is the percentage of classes a student attends then the grade will be (A - 45)*2. Up to a maximum of 100%. If a student attends 60% of the classes the grade for attendance will be 30%. A 95% attendance rate is sufficient to get a 100% grade.

This grade forms part of the project mark.

CMOD6001 Blogs

Each student is expected to make at least one serious blog entry per week. 10% of the final grade for this module will go for the personal blog. The blog mark will be calculated as follows: If the number of weeks an entry is made is W then the mark is (w-5)*20, up to a maximum of 100% and a minimum of 0%. For example 5 weeks is worth zero. 6 weeks is worth 20%. 8 weeks 60%. The quality and size of the entries may be considered also. Entries that are too short might not count. But students who take this exercise serioulsy should not have any problems

This grade forms part of the project mark.
