    Hi,

    I am currently a first yr student in LIT, finished my exams. I would like to know how continuous assessment and examinations work there is not much info on the LIT website.

    I just have one question example on a module there is 40% continuous assessment and and 60% Summer examination.

    What I want to know is if I get 29% in CA does that mean I only need 11% in the exam to pass the module.

    Thanks in advance.

    11% of your total mark equates to roughly 19% in the final exam. Do you think it is acceptable for a student to pass the overall course, even though they only got 19% in the final exam? :)

    You really would need to check with the course handbook or with a lecturer.

    There may be specific requirements that you have to pass all components of the module as well. I would engage with some of the staff on the programme for advice.

    There should be an opportunity to engage with staff once the results are out.

    It might be worth talking to some of the lecturers
