credit has already been granted.
Cheating is the possession or provision of unauthorized aids, assistance, or materials in
the preparation of assignments, during examinations, or in the completion of practical

assignments, midterms, labs, exams, practical work, etc., constitutes plagiarism.

Student responsibility regarding announcements

ASSESSMENT GUIDELINE
EVALUATION
A final course grade will be determined based on the following instruments and their
corresponding weighted percentages:

Assignments/Labs – 2 10%
Project 10%
Quizzes – 2* 15%
Mid-Term Exam – 1* 30%
Final Exam – 1* 35%
TOTAL 100%

IMPORTANT NOTE:
1. Passing grade is 50% with the additional condition that the total value of proctored
assessments (quizzes, midterm, and final) aka “MOA mark” have to average a
minimum of 50%. Example: In this case, the total value of proctored assessments is
20%+30%%30%=80%. Minimum 50% of the total is 40%. So, in order to pass you
need a minimum of 50% overall mark and an average minimum of 40% for the total of
proctored assessments.
2. A UN mark will be issued if the student completed less than 70% of the total
evaluation of the course, or missed more than 30% of the classes where the
Instructor’s Course Outline specifies that attendance is a course requirement.
3. FINAL EXAM IS MANDATORY. If you do not attempt final exam, you will receive
UN as your final grade.

Missed tests or examinations

Tests (quizzes, Midterms) and final examination will be offered only during the scheduled date

CSIS 1280-002 Summer 2025 Noman Saleem – [email protected] Page 4|7

and time of sitting. Exceptions may be considered in cases of extraordinary circumstances. It is
the responsibility of the student to inform the College and the instructor at the earliest reasonable
opportunity if he/she intends to miss a test or examination. Otherwise, the student will receive a
ZERO Mark for any missed Quizzes and will receive a UN as the final course grade for missing
the FINAL examination.

ASSIGNMENTS

Bonus Marks
The instructor could offer Bonus Marks (fractions or full points or percentages). These marks are
over and above the original 100% marks allocated to the course. Bonus marks will not be awarded
in the detriment of the 100% marks covered by the CG and/or CO. These Bonus Marks could be
offered for either team or individual work. Before the activity for which bonus marks would be
awarded, the Instructor will explain the conditions under which the student can achieve the bonus
marks. The students have the right to not participate in any or all bonus mark activities. The
students have to actively accept or reject participating in the Bonus Mark event or activity by
communicating with the instructor in advance of the event or before a specified deadline that was

labs, it is strictly forbidden to take photographs, make copies, or to remove material from the exam
room by emailing or posting it to websites. Removing any photographing, coping or removing
material from the exam room without the instructor’s explicit permission will cause the exam to
be scored at 0 (zero) marks and the behavior will be reported to the CBA management.
