Each semester is of 22 weeks duration with an additional 4 weeks’ break. The credits per semester differ
as the division of time for lectures and practical work for different courses varies. However, the maximum
number of lectures/contact hours and practical work is constant per semester (approximately 500 hours).
2.6 Method of Assessment/Examination
The students are evaluated during each course on the basis of:
1.
Formative assessment which is a mix of the tests, end of course examination, class and home
assignments, class participation, interactive discussions, practical exercises and/or group works
depending on the course outline (ongoing assessment);
2.
Summative assessment based on the end of semester examination papers. Summative
assessments are held at the end of first two semesters and comprise of two semester papers each.
In the third semester, the students are examined in the mid-semester summative assessment before
the start of the Dissertation work.
The Dissertation work is assessed through a viva voce examination on the basis of a structured format
covering the quality of the project, work performed in the field, data generation and analysis and
presentation of results, discussion and conclusions presented as a written report.
