EVALUATION
Final grades are based on some combination of written examinations, mid-term tests, essays, group assignments, presentations, and class participation. A final examination may only count for more than 75% of a student's final grade if the student (i) has been given the option of a final examination worth 75% or less, and (ii) has declined that option. First year courses (with the exception of Foundations of Canadian Law, Legal Ethics & Professionalism and Legal Research, Writing and Advocacy) run the full academic year, with mid-term examinations held in December. The Faculty uses a system of blind marking, and students are issued examination numbers each term. These numbers are the only identification used by students on examination papers. They may also be used for other methods of evaluation. No more than 75% of a student's final grade in a course may be assessed on the basis of group work. This rule does not apply to a research paper undertaken as a joint Individual Research project for which a group of students has received approval. 'Group work' means an assignment submitted by two or more students for which there is a single overall evaluation with one common mark allotted to all students in the group.
