Seems completely stupid, a backward move imo.

Most of the ca we have is say like three exams throughout the semester and then a final one. So the work still has to be learned I think the point of the new way is someone cant mess up in one exam.

im in wit too. as far as im aware in my ca courses that are 50/50 once we average 40 were through. so if you have 40 from ca work, your passed no matter the result of final exam.

Thank you for your advise! Then how about if I take more than 40% in exam? can I pass the course?

i cant see why not. if a course is worth 50% ca and the final exam50 then thats clearly the case. but ask your lecturer. less pressure on you at final exam thats the part of the point of ca. also my friend is in yr 2 of applied and i remember him telling me how he only needed 5% in his physics at xmas as he had 35 from ca.

sorry you would not pass with 40 in final exam you would need 80%(i think that works out). so 100% at final exam is worth 50 overall. 40% in final exam is only worth 40% of your 50%. which is not enough overall.

Y'know what'll make this all more understandable?

Just pass your fúcking CA and final exam.
