Grading System
|
|
|
|
Students whose attendance rate is less than 70% cannot get any evaluation. Evaluation is based on the term report (90%) and the lecture participation (10%). By the term report, students' deep understanding of a specific technology and presentation skills are evaluated. The evaluation is based on 5 grades. The ratio of S is not greater than 15% of registered students. The ratio of S and A is not greater 50% of registered students.
