KT suggested that it is best to use semester examsto predict grades for 18 months students. CJ suggested giving further assessments early next semesterfor the purpose above.
KT felt that could subjective and that it is important have a clear cut basis.
On the discussion if sem exams for 18 monthers should be postponed to early next sem so that more teaching weeks can be earned:MIF pointed out that some July 2015 intake are doing ASsubjects with the Jan students and won’t have grades to be entered in QIAB if exams is postponed.
