Course Registration
|
|
he maximum number of courses a student is permitted
to register per semester is n+3, where n the sum of
compulsory (Y) plus the minimum number of optional (E)
courses.
Assessment is generally based on formal written examinations
at the end of semester. The method of assessment by
mid-term exams and term papers is used in a number of
courses; also, a combination of the two methods is not
unusual.
The total number of courses and not their separation
in compulsory and optional plays the basic role in the
registration. The
maximum number and the distribution
of courses each student can fulfill is
shown below.
