Integrated Assessment

• The qualification is coherently aligned in that all teaching, learning and assessment activities are linked to module and qualification outcomes.
• Assessment methods are varied and include summative and formative assessment to enhance applied competence from learners and facilitate authentic assessment and learning.
• Assessment will not only be used to determine whether outcomes were achieved, but also to generate data for grading and provide feedback in order to improve the curriculum.
• For all the assessment purposes to be achieved essays, computer-based assessments, theory tests, cases and open problems, practicals and interpretative skills evaluation, reporting on practicals and applications, presentations, analysis and problem solving assessment in the specific field of Information Technology as assessment methods.
