    • Evaluation System

      As part of the TD mark, students will be assessed on a number of assignments that will be given back to the teacher for correction. The final exam will be based on course comprehension that would be evaluated in the form of activities. The student who has not obtained a 10 average will then be invited to take the make-up exam. The calculation of the final average after the make-up exam will be the sum of the TD mark and the make-up mark divided by 2.
