Option 2 can be helped by taking AC1117 and PA1003
Options 3+4 require PY1052 and PY1053
Continuous Assessment and Exams
All School modules in first year (and most in later
years) are assessed by a mixture of continuous
assessment (= in-class tests, homeworks, etc.) and a
final exam in May.
Details can be found in the Book of Modules, and
from your lecturer!
If you miss a test for a good reason then let us
know!!!
