Modules and Modular Credits

Essential Modules
Minor in Computing Modules
Elective Modules
Modular Credits Computation for Level 5 and 6 modules

Module code = CSabcd
where

a denotes the module level
b denotes essential=1, elective=2, enrichment=3
cd = sequence number
Workload in A-B-C-D-E
where
A = number of lecture hours per week
B = number of tutorial hours per week
C = number of hours of laboratory work per week
D = number of hours of project work (including assignments) per week
E = number of hours of preparative hours per week
Using total hours (A+B+C+D+E) and hours/credit factor of 2.5, the number of modular credits (MC) is as follows:
Less than or equal to 9        = 3 MC
10-11                                 = 4 MC
greater than or equal to 12   = 5 MC
Standard module       = 2-1-0-3-3 = 3 MC
Module with lab.       = 2-1-1-3-4 = 4 MC

4000-level module     = 2-0.5-0-3-4 = 3 MC

S-module                  = 2-1-0-4-4 = 4 MC
S-module (with lab)    = 2-1-1-4-4 = 5 MC

Modular Credits Computation for Level 5 and 6 modules

Workload in A-B-C-D-E where
 

A = number of lecture hours per week

B = number of tutorial hours per week

C = number of hours of laboratory work per week

D = number of hours of project work (including assignments) per week

E = number of hours of preparative hours per week

Using total hours (A+B+C+D+E) and hours/credit factor of 2.5, the number of modular credits (MS) is as follows:
 
<= 9 = 3 MC

10-11 = 4 MC

>= 12 = 5 MC
