- Answered 60-80% questions correctly: 2 points
- Answered 40-60% questions correctly: 1 point
- Missing compulsory administrative requirements e.g., forgot to submit peer evaluations: -2 for each miss
As the lecture on Week N covers topics for Week N+1, the Lecture N's in-lecture and post-lecture quiz points are counted for Week N+1
B Received good peer evaluations
Admin Peer Evaluations → Criteria (Conduct)
Admin Peer Evaluations → Criteria (Competency)
- -1 for each professional conduct criterion in which you score below average (based on the average of ratings received).
- No penalty for scoring low on competency criteria.
In addition, you can receive a bonus marks in the following ways. Bonus marks can be used to top up your participation marks should your marks from the above falls below 5.
- Receiving good ratings for all 10 peer evaluations criteria: 1 mark
- Being very helpful to classmates e.g., multiple helpful posts in forum: 1 mark
C Tutorial attendance/participation not too low
Low attendance/participation can affect participation marks directly (i.e., attended fewer than 7) or indirectly (i.e., it might result in low peer evaluation ratings).
Examples:
- Alicia earned 1/2, 3/5, 2/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 4/5, 5/5 in the first 12 weeks. As she received at least half of the points in 11 of the weeks, she gets 5 participation marks. Bonus marks are not applicable as she has full marks already.
- Benjamin managed to get at least half of the participation points in 9 weeks only, which gives him 5-1 = 4 participation marks. But he received good peer ratings for all criteria, and hence get a bonus mark to make it 5/5.
- Chun Ming met the participation points bar in 8 weeks only, giving him 5-2 = 3 marks. He lost 2 more marks because he received multiple negative ratings for two criteria, giving him 1/5 participation marks.
