Students who qualify for continuous assessment may choose to sit the Partial Exam instead of Midterm 2 during the regular exam period (same weight applies).

There is no make-up date for midterms. If you miss one, you must sit the Final Exam.
Final Exam

Students who do not complete continuous assessment are evaluated by a single final exam (100%), covering the entire syllabus.
