Negative marking clarification

Class,

Sorry about the confusion. Let me specify more clearly.

There is no negative marking in the MCQs! Pls feel free to attempt them without any tension.

In the non-MCQs, out of the 15% course weightage, there is some negative marking for some 3% of course weightage only. The rest does not carry negative marks. Feel free to attempt sans any second guessing.

The 3% that do carry negative marks will have it written down specifically in the quiestion that there is negative marking.

The rationale for negative marking sounds silly, but it is that, thanks to the 15% restriction, I found myself making questions which had 3 subparts - that taken together would constitute, like, 1 mark.

Now, to allocate 0.33 across the subparts would be overkill. So the scheme I decided upon is that if any 2 wrong, all points lost for these 1 mark questions.

Sorry aboiut the confusion, Its just 3 marks out of 40 for negative marking. Don't worry much about it.
