Assessment strategy

These technical labs address the above-listed learning outcomes. They are conducted under the umbrella of ELEC1300 but the marks contribute towards this module.

Summative

This is how we’ll formally assess what you have learned in this module.

Referral

This is how we’ll assess you if you don’t meet the criteria to pass this module.

Repeat

An internal repeat is where you take all of your modules again, including any you passed. An external repeat is where you only re-take the modules you failed.
