Assessment summary

Continuous assessment: 60%

Final assessment: 40%

This unit contains hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit

Assessment

1 - Computer lab exercises
2 - Finite element assignments
3 - Final assessment
