20% Capstone project (CP)

Completion Requirements

Students are required to fulfill the following requirements for course completion. Failure to fulfill any of these requirements will result in receiving an INC (with passing standing) or 5.0 (with failing standing) in the course.

• Have a grade in at least half of the SEs offered throughout the semester
  • "Having a grade" is defined as an SE that has a grade of greater than zero (0).
  • If the SE has multiple subcomponents, each component is not counted separately but instead treated as one single SE.
  • E.g. SE01 which has two components SE01A and SE01B, are counted as one for this requirement. Hence, you can opt to submit SE01A, SE01B, or all of them.
• Have a grade in the MidP
• Have a grade in the CP
