Here is the calculation schemes for the overall course grades.

1. If you do not attend some tests and provided the MSAF form, your missed test percentage (16%) will automatically be transferred to the final exam.

2. If you attend all tests, your marks will be calculated in two schemes:

   (i) the original scheme in the course outline

   (ii) the test of lowest mark (with resubmission mark counted) will be ignored, and that 16% of the score will be tranferred to
         the final exam.

You final marks will be the maximum between (i) and (ii).
