Integrated Assessment:

Both Formative and Summative Assessments are employed in this qualification. Formative Assessment is used to support teaching and learning and assists in planning future learning engagements. It is used to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses and provides feedback on academic progress during the development of concepts. Summative Assessment is used to determine student competency and is typically scheduled at the end of a section of learning which results in credit being rewarded and reported. A range of assessment methods are used with a range of assessment instruments, such as, but not limited to:

• Face to face contact with learner: Live, regular formative feedback with individuals and groups.
• Assignments: Problem-solving activity with stipulated guidelines and clear structure presented orally or in writing.
• Research reports which are writing intensive can be formatively supported through the Faculty of Arts and Design Writing Centre.
• Case Studies: A description of an experience, which can be written or orally presented in groups or individually.
• Project Brief: An investigation into an identified issue with a practical outcome, developed under supervision with support.
