Continual Assessment
Delegates will be assessed throughout the course. The outputs of the exercises are a
part of the formal continual assessment and will therefore be marked. Although the
exercises are group exercises individual score to the delegate will be based on their overall
participation, involvement in the relevant chapter presentation and in the exercise.

Delegates who are late at unavoidable circumstances may at the tutor's decision receive
additional one to one instruction. However this should be considered during the breaks and
after this time. Poor timekeeping, irrespective of cause, will be reflected in the appropriate
full days session & care should be taken that this may not disturb the routine class
timings. Still repetitive poor timekeeping will result in failure.

The overall pass mark for the continual assessment is 60% and should score minimum 50%
in individual exercises also. Delegates who fail in the individual exercises are required to
resubmit the exercises.
