Integrated Assessment

• Assessments take place following the institution's Assessment Policy and the Faculty specific assessment policy.
• The Department uses Continuous Assessment (CA) as a means of evaluation.
• Qualification specific assessment regulations are determined by the Faculty Board and approved by the Senate.
• Qualification specific assessment criteria, rules and regulations, must be communicated to learners in all learning guides.
• The institution and Faculty principles form the expansion and implementation of assessment methods.
• A memorandum/assessment marking guide accompanies the assessment activities.
• The learning guides include the number and range of assessment methods used in each subject.
• Every assessment opportunity carries a predetermined weight that takes the integration of the outcomes into account.
• Each semester subject will have at least three formative assessment opportunities that establish a semester mark and give feedback to the learner on their progress.
• Subject lecturers must provide detailed, written and constructive feedback to learner work within fifteen working days after an assessment opportunity.
• In continuous assessment modules, the semester mark comprises the final mark for the module or to provide access to a further assessment opportunity, where the semester mark carries a 60% weighting.
• In non-continuous assessment modules, the semester mark will usually count 40% and the final summative assessment 60% towards the final mark for the module.
• Formative and summative assessment.
• The assessment of the progress of learners is through Continuous Assessment (CA) and their performance assessed at various formative points in the learning qualification.
• In CA, rules are in place regarding eligibility for supplementary assessments should learners not pass one of the summative assessments.
• For summative assessments, especially where more than one assessor is involved, internal moderation checks are undertaken to ensure the reliability of the assessment procedures.
• Formative assessment refers to assessment that takes place during the process of learning and teaching.
• Formative assessment: Supports the teaching and learning process
• Provides progress feedbacks to learners
• Diagnoses learner's strengths and weaknesses
• Assists in the planning of future learning.
• Summative assessments make a judgment about the level of competence of learners about the outcomes of a unit, module and qualification.
• The results of such formal assessment (e.g. tests, assignments, projects, presentations, creative production or traditional examinations) are a mark reflecting a pass or a fail.
• The department uses various integrated assessment strategies, depending on the focus of the module.
• Apart from class tests and the traditional examination where appropriate, learners are continuously assessed through assignments, research projects, practical work, work-based projects, case studies etc.
