Integrated Assessment

• A variety of strategies will be applied to achieve an integrated assessment.
• These assessments will include summative assessment in the form written examinations (class tests, online tests, semester tests) and formative assessment (presentations, group work, individual projects, assignments, practical and a research report).
• Some of the criteria are assessable through observation of the learners during their classes when they demonstrate their projects.
• This assessment will supply qualifying learners with applied competence, foundational competence, practical competence, and reflexive competence for furthering their learning.
