Formative assessment practices that will be implemented:
Learners are continually assessed by means of class assignments, essays, presentations, informal class tests and formal modular tests, in written or oral mode. The learner may also be required to do practical work (independent and in groups during study visits) which is evaluated by assessors. In addition, the learner must also assess himself/herself as well as the work of classmates, and reflect on the dynamics of this process.
Summative assessment practices that will be implemented:
Integrated assessment, focusing on the achievement of the exit-level outcomes, will be done by means of a 3 hour examination per module undertaken for the qualification, towards the end of that module.
