METHOD OF TEACHING

Direct Lectures [through PPT, Whiteboard, Video & projector]

All courses shall be examined by Continuous Assessment through assignments and/or test and a final examination. The grade obtained through such Continuous Assessment shall constitute 30% of the total marks of the course while the end of semester examination shall constitute 70%.

Performance in a course for the Professional Bachelor’s Degree programme shall be recorded according to the following schedule:

The final aggregate mark for a course shall be a whole number. Letter grades and grade points shall be awarded on the basis of the final aggregate mark.

In order to determine the grade point average of a candidate, the appropriate grade points assigned to the corresponding letter grade is multiplied by the credit value of the course. The products are added for all courses registered for the sum divided by the total number of credits registered for. The quotient so obtained is the G.P.A. For example, student X obtains the following grades

GPA = 80/24 = 3.33

To earn credit for a course, the student must score a minimum of 50% (C) in that course if this is compulsory. Students may gain credit in the case of an elective/required course if they scored 40% (D).

If a student obtains a pass mark in a course after re-sitting the course once or any subsequent number of times, the final mark given shall be the average of the marks obtained in the different sittings if this average is higher than 50% or 50% if the average obtained is less than 50%. Only this average mark shall be used to calculate the student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA). The fail mark shall no longer enter into the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (GPA).

In each semester (semester one and two), the student shall register for courses totalling not less than 30 credits. A student who fails to obtain a mark of 50/100 for any course at the end of the semester shall be obliged to resit the course(s).

The class of the Professional Bachelor’s degree awarded shall be based on the final Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) as follows:
