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.
