Final Exam

 

 

Each chapter quiz is worth 20 marks, each unit test is worth 28 marks, and each homework assessment is worth 20 marks (where one homework question must be presented to the class). Tests and quizzes have strict time limits.

 

There is no specific list of homework questions, but the homework must be labelled and organized, showing all steps before the final answer. A minimum total of 10 questions from the chapter sections covered must be attempted per assessment. It is advantageous to do more questions in preparation for weekly tests.

 

The ISU assignment requires students to teach the class in a short presentation, which is worth 10% of the overall final mark.

 

The final exam is worth 20% of the overall final mark.
