4. For your results, you must have 75% class attendance to have a grade in any GEDS courses
offered. Quizzes (announced or unannounced, tests, assignments and mid-semester exams all
form the continuous assessment grade of 40%, while the final examination is 60%. Both the mid-
semester and final examinations will be conducted centrally at a designated CBT venue.

5. It is important to know the full names of your lecturers, hence you need to ensure you get each
lecturer’s name at the beginning of each class.
Note that you are required to input the name of your lecturer during your CBT exams, thus the
need to be well informed.
