Type(s) and mode(s) of Q2 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face
• Oral examination - Face-to-face
• Oral presentation - Face-to-face
• Practical exam - Face-to-face

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Not applicable

Method of calculating the overall mark for the Q2 UE assessment

I-GCMS-006 - 60 %
I-META-106 - 40 %

To pass the UE, students must obtain a mark of 8/20 for each AA. If the mark for an AA is less than 8/20, the mark for the UE is the mark for that AA (the lower mark of the two AAs).

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q3 UE assessment

• Written examination - Face-to-face
• Oral examination - Face-to-face
