• Applied knowledge and skills typically required from an analytical chemist within the chemical industry is demonstrated.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:

• Methods of enquiry are used to investigate complex problems in the fields of: analytical technologies, food chemistry, forensic chemistry, industrial chemistry and mining.
• Evidence-based solutions are evaluated and applied to case studies relevant to the fields mentioned.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:

• Appropriate academic and professional discourse are justified and adhered to using an assortment of methods and processes relevant to the field of Analytical Chemistry.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:

• Problem solving skills are applied to complex problems associated with analytical chemistry techniques.
• Evidence-based solutions are critically evaluated and applied to case studies relevant to analytical chemistry techniques.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:

• Activities, decisions and actions are identified, formulated and executed regarding project and risk management and the development of analytical techniques and methods by facilitating and managing the process in an ethical, moral and professional manner.
• Ethical values and approaches are defended, appraised and judged to management principles and professional practice, with regards to decisions and actions made, to assess the validity and appropriateness of the actions taken in the work environment.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 6:

• Continuous professional development of learning needs in a self-directed manner are identified, tailored, evaluated and addressed in order to facilitate collaborative learning processes of both the technologist and his/her peers within the food industry.

Integrated Assessment:

• Integrated assessment is ensured by incorporating both formal and informal continuous assessment strategies into the qualification to ensure that not only assessment of learning takes place but also assessment for learning.
• Assessment strategies are underpinned by the Exit Level Outcomes, which are designed in articulation with the Level Descriptors and the scope of practice.
• All elements are aligned with the purpose statement of the qualification.

Formative Assessment:

• Formative assessment will involve integrated types of assessment, used to inform learners about their progress on a continuous basis through the whole year.
• Marks collected from this evidence will be recorded for promotional purposes or may be used for the sole purpose of learner and lecturer reflection, growth and development.
• Formative assessment will be used to support the learner developmentally and to provide feedback to all involved in the learning process of how teaching and learning can be improved.
• Throughout the qualification, formative assessment strategies will be used to ensure that Exit Level Outcomes are achieved, which include: Assignments, Practical work, Projects, Tests and/or any other applicable methods.

Summative Assessment:

• Summative assessment will involve assessment opportunities that take place at the end of a learning experience.
• Information will be gathered about a learner's level of competence upon completion of a unit, module or qualification.
• Results may be expressed in marks in terms of the level of competence achieved, with regard to Level Descriptors, specific outcomes and assessment standards.
• This type of assessment is often used for promotional purposes and may take the form of: Examinations (theoretical and practical), Portfolios, Presentations, Tests and/or other applicable methods.
