Integrated assessment:

Panel evaluation of research projects and dissertation. 

1. The assessment used for the MBA ensures that the exit level outcomes of this qualification is achieved.

2. A range of assessment methods such as individual tasks, group tasks, role play, workplace assignments, literature studies, computer assignments, written and oral presentations and examinations are used in a process of continual evaluation.

3. The required range of modalities are used integratively to assess whether the specified outcomes have been achieved.

4. Reliability is by generalising from samples to the population in a judicious and planned way.

5. The assessments used meet the standard and level of achievement for NQF level 8.

6. The assessments conclude with an integrative research project in which a real life management problem is analysed

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT

Continuous assessment takes place in a variety of ways, on both and individual and group level. Modalities include discipline specific and cross-disciplinary individual and group assignments, simulations, computer assignments, workplace assessments, written and oral presentations and tests. Over and above this, the students also have to complete a research project based on a management problem.

The spirits fermentation plant and process is operated and controlled according to standard operating procedures.
The spirits filtration plant is operated and controlled according to standard operating procedures.
The spirits fermentation and filtration plants are cleaned and sanitised according to standard operating procedures.
First line maintenance is performed on the spirits fermentation and filtration plant according to standard operating procedures.

2.

Integrated Assessment

The applied competence (practical, foundational and reflexive competencies) of acquiring this qualification will be able to produce a safe, quality assured, spirits product by operating, controlling and maintaining an automated spirits processing plant.

The identifying and solving of problems, team work, organising one-self, the using of applied science, the implication of actions and reactions in the world as a set of related systems must be assessed during any combination of practical, foundational and reflexive competencies assessment methods and tools to determine the whole person development and integration of applied knowledge and skills.

The preparation, cleaning and sanitising, first line maintenance and quality assurance related to processing in the workplace can be assessed in one application.

Applicable assessment tool(s) must be used to establish the foundational, reflective and embedded knowledge related to problem solving and application of the world as a set of related systems within the processing environment.
A detailed portfolio of evidence is required to prove the practical, applied and foundational competencies of the learner.

Assessors and moderators should develop and conduct their own integrated assessment by making use of a range of formative and summative assessment methods. Assessors should assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired through formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.
Unit standards in the qualification must be used to assess specific and critical cross-field outcomes. During integrated assessments the assessor should make use of formative and summative assessment methods and should assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies.

Integrated assessment appropriately incorporated to ensure that the purpose of the qualification is achieved:

The University of Natal is currently reforming its assessment strategies to include the assessment of applied competence for each qualification. In the meantime, a combination of continuous assessment and traditional written examinations serve to assess the integration of all/most of the learning outcomes for each module in a qualification.
