    Even in the final assessment, half the marks are yours alone (the reflection). A strong team cannot carry a weak reflection, and a weak team does not sink a strong one.

    Common questions

    Is there a final exam? No written exam. The final assessment (40%) replaces it. It is a group project with an individual reflection.

    Are the group assignment (20%) and the final assessment (40%) the same thing? No. They are two separate pieces of work, done by the same team of 7. The group assignment is set by your lecturer and runs earlier in the semester. The final assessment is the main project, prepared by the subject coordinator for all BIDA classes, and released in Week 10. See the comparison.

    Do I do the quizzes on UUM OL? No. Both quizzes are on the Cengage portal.

    Where do I submit? Everything that is not a quiz is submitted on UUM Online Learning. See Submitting on UUM OL.
