Student Handbook

Week 14
Students who have successfully met the workshop requirements are eligible to proceed
to attempt the three-hour open-book module examination. The open-book policy is
adopted since this replicates the workplace where reference materials are readily
available. The examination is set with a mixture of different question types (Case
Questions and Essay / Short Questions).

4.2.7 Re-taking the Module Workshops and Examinations

When a student enrols on a module in the first attempt, he / she will undergo both the
two full-day workshops and module examination for the module in the same attempt.
In principle, the student is allowed to re-take in the later attempt(s) only the component
that he / she has not been able to get a satisfactory / pass grade. However, given that
successful completion of the workshop is a prerequisite for sitting the module
examination, the student is required to retake both the workshop and examination
components next time when he / she enrols on the module again should he / she be
unable to complete the workshops satisfactorily in the first place. In the case that the
student meets the workshop requirement but fails the module examination, he / she
needs to re-take only the module examination in the later attempt(s).

In the case that some students would like to retake the WHOLE module or INDIVIDUAL
module components regardless of their motives and status of previous module results,
the grade(s) that they obtain in the latest attempt will override the previous.
