Total Mark
In order to pass this module, students must obtain an OVERALL average of 40% for the
complete module.
ABSENCE FROM PRACTICALS AND TERM EXAMINATIONS: Students attention is drawn to
Pass Standard and any Special Requirements for Passing Module in module description sheet
attached.
Students absent from practicals will be given an average mark for that practical if the practical was
missed for one of the following reasons only:
1. Illness - a medical certificate must be supplied
2. Representing UCC in sport activity - a letter from the P. E. Office must be supplied
3. Family Bereavement
An absence form (see page 7-8) must be completed and returned to the School of BEES Office
(Distillery Fields Enterprise Centre) with all supporting documentation. Students who miss the term
MCQ examination for one of these legitimate reasons may be offered the opportunity to resit the
examination, failure to resit the examination will result in a mark of 0 % being awarded for that exam.
