There is a general departmental requirement that students are required to average not less than 45% in the invigilated component of their assessments in order to pass the course as a whole. ‘Invigilated’ means ‘formally supervised under exam conditions’. This includes items such as term tests, supervised laboratory tests, and in-class tests under supervision.  Excluded items (i.e. non-invigilated) include (group or individual) take home tests, essays, projects, presentations (unless fully supervised and assessed on delivery of presentation only), and assignments.
