ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
Your final course mark will be calculated from the following:

CIE - Theory (60 Marks) CIE - Practical (60 Marks)

Class Regularity– 05 Marks Class Regularity – 05 Marks
Class Test- 40 Marks Lab Performance/Submission-20 Marks
Quiz/Assignment:15 Marks Minor Project: 35 Marks
ESE-Theory- 40 Marks ESE-Practical-40 Marks

SUPPLEMENTARY ASSESSMENT

CE0525, Semester: V (2021) Page 6 of 9

Students who receive an overall mark less than 40% in internal component or less than 40% in the
end semester will be considered for supplementary assessment in the respective components (i.e
internal component or end semester) of semester concerned. Students must make themselves
available during the supplementary examination period to take up the respective components
(internal component or end semester) and need to obtain the required minimum 40% marks to clear
the concerned components.

Practical Work Report/Laboratory Report:

A report on the practical work is due the subsequent week after completion of the class by each
group.

Late Work
Late assignments will not be accepted without supporting documentation. Late submission of the
reports will result in a deduction of -% of the maximum mark per calendar day

Format
All assignments must be presented in a neat, legible format with all information sources correctly
referenced. Assignment material handed in throughout the session that is not neat and legible
will not be marked and will be returned to the student.

Retention of Written Work

Written assessment work will be retained by the Course coordinator/lecturer for two weeks after
marking to be collected by the students.

University and Faculty Policies

Students should make themselves aware of the University and/or Faculty Policies regarding
plagiarism, special consideration, supplementary examinations and other educational issues and
student matters.

Plagiarism - Plagiarism is not acceptable and may result in the imposition of severe penalties.
Plagiarism is the use of another person’s work, or idea, as if it is his or her own - if you have any
doubts at all on what constitutes plagiarism, please consult your Course coordinator or lecturer.
Plagiarism will be penalized severely.

Do not copy the work of other students.

Do not share your work with other students (except where required for a group activity or
assessment.
