Burapha University Chonburi, Thailand Student Exchange

Grading

• Assessment of Academic Work
• BUUIC instructors use two evaluation methods: continuous assessment and examinations.
• Each course has a final written examination that normally lasts for three hours. Continuous assessment will include lecture assignments in the form of essays or short answer questions, and/or projects/case studies. The student’s result in a course will depend on his or her performance in both the continuous assessment and final examination in addition to attendance to the class for at least 80 percent of total contact hours in that course. (i.e., 3 credits hour = 45 hours, students must attend class for at least 36 hours).
