Assessment

The revised assessment scheme below is to communicate two principles:
(1) that the process (research, continuous progress and quality of consultation sections) is as important as the final work; and
(2) that the semester grade should be the result of the consensus of both (all) advisers involved in each project.

- Three times advisement 15%
- Mid-term presentation of final draft 15%
- Final Draft Revision 15%
- Finished project + research-theoretical text + oral defense 55%
You can find the description of the grade in the student guide. http://www.cityu.edu.hk/intranet/menu/studguide.htm

Weighed Contribution to grading from advisers
Adviser: 70% (1st and 2nd adviser: 35%)
