Evaluation method and criteria

Each of the achievement objectives 1-3 will be evaluated by a mid-term exam and a final exam (both in person) that include the items in the achievement objectives. A pass/fail grade for a course is determined by the mid-term examination with a maximum score of 30 points and the final examination with a maximum score of 70 points, and a total score of 60 points or higher is considered as a pass. If a student is absent more than 5 times, he/she will not be allowed to take the final examination.
