the final mark during a normal examination period (NMMU rule 1.6.18.2). In order to pass the modulewith the reassessment attempt, a student must obtain a final mark of not less than 50%, subject to a subminimumof 40% in the examination. The final mark in the case of a re-assessment (which will appear onyour results) may not exceed 50% (NMMU rule 1.6.16.4).Various scenarios exist. Examples include: If a student obtains 42% for the CASS and 54% for exam, gaining afinal mark of 48%, s/he will have to re-write the examination (despite having passed the exam the first time)in order to attempt to improve the overall mark to 50%. In the above case, the exam has been passed, butthe CASS and exam mark together do not result in a 50% overall result. If a student obtains 62% for CASS and38% for the exam, gaining a final mark of 50%, s/he will have to re-write the examination (despite having anoverall mark of 50%) in order to pass the sub-minimum of 40% in an exam.We wish you the very best for your success in PICM201.Dr André du Plessis & Dr Pam Austin(Lecturers)8
