All compulsory questions
Quiz 3%
Quiz will be given anytimeduring tutorial or lecture twice. Only one
best quiz will be taken into account. Coverage of the quiz will be
provided during the preceding class. There is only ONE
supplementary quiz, eligible only to those that have valid and official
proof for not attending the two earlier quizzes.
Final Exam 60%
Answer four out of four questions. The questions cover all chapters.

Reminder
Attendanceis compulsory. Baseline: 80%for each component (lecture,
tutorial and lab)
Punctualityis expected. Marks will be deducted for late submission of
report or demonstration. 20% of the full mark per day, including
weekends.
- Example scenario: Dateline of a report submission is Thursday (25 Oct
2012). The full marks for the report is 10 marks.
Scenario 1: Student A submitted late on Friday (26 Oct 2012). The
coursework mark obtained is 8. Hence, the marks obtained after
deduction for late submission is 6 (minus 20%).
Scenario 2:Student B submitted late on Monday (29 Oct 2012). The
coursework mark obtained is 10. Hence, the marks obtained after
deduction is 2 (minus 80%).

Reminder
Supplementary test/quiz/ exam/lab will not be given except in the case of
actual emergencies with formal evidence. The original copyof the
evidence must be submitted within one week to the subject coordinator.
Scanned or photocopies are not accepted.
Cheating or plagiarism of any kind is subjected to zero marks and will be
reported to the university for further disciplinary action.
Attempt the tutorial questions before you come to the tutorial class.
Always check MMLS for announcements and updates.
All university rules apply.
