Integrated Assessment:

• The qualification will make use of both formative and summative assessment in most modules.
• In modules where project work is the primary focus exceptions are made.
• Formative assessment may include tutorial tests, class tests, or laboratory sessions.
• Summative assessment includes semester tests and practical assessments.
• Practical assessment involves completing practical assignments and reporting on the work done.
• In project-based assessment, formative assessment includes small demonstrations and simulations.
• Summative assessments include written reports, demonstrations, and oral presentations.
• Examination consists of demonstrations, oral presentations, and written documentation.
• Participation marks are generated based on a combination of summative assessments.
• The participation mark is typically weighted in a 50:50 ratio to the examination mark.
