All assignments, reports, presentations and tests are graded. It is expected that all candidates pass all exercises (if any) in a given module. Note that there are specific deadlines for individual exercises and tests that must be adhered to. Further information, including details of the exercises, reports and presentations which must be handed in, will be given by the leaders of the associated classes.
To satisfy the requirements of Regulation 18 all reports will, once they have been accepted, be retained by the Department. The Part II examiners will be provided with the total number of marks awarded to each candidate.
To be approved by Department of Computer Science and Technology Faculty Board October 2025
