Integrated Assessment:

Assessment methods for this qualification include presentations, tutorials, practical, test assessments and written examinations. Written examinations are assessed internally by the course lecturer and thereafter externally moderated. Formative feedback is given when the project supervisor provides written feedback on pre-submission drafts of the project. Staff and learners provide additional formative assessment during student presentations. Summative assessment is conducted after completion of the project. The candidate will submit a written report on the project. The supervisor, followed by an independent external moderation process, will assess this project internally. A final assessment mark is given after completion and submission of the research project.
