Class tests
Projects and group work projects
Case presentations and studies
Class conferences

Summative evaluation:

Integrated assessment:

Assessment is based on an integrated and continuing evaluation approach, with due consideration of the following principles:
Activity-based evaluation, i.e. the acquirement of knowledge, skills and abilities rather than the memorisation of information – knowledge, skills and abilities cannot be developed if the concomitant activities are not practiced
Evaluation based on learning contexts that offer opportunities for co-operation (group work and individual learning)

Formative evaluation:
– The processes, developmental nature and end product (outcome) are regarded as important
Evaluation must lend itself to being utilised as learning opportunity
Theory and practice are integrated

Evaluation entails three elements:
Formal end evaluations
Continuing, formal evaluations
Continuing, informal evaluations
