Formative assessment practices that will be implemented:
Formative assessment is aimed at development of a life-long learning culture based on continuous self-study and compromises the following: In every year course (consisting of two modules) learners write four formal tests; written assignments on set topics are completed by learners in most year courses; self assessment requires of the student to work through simulated questions and suggested solutions thereto, independently.
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 five hour written examination at the end of each year course on the study material covered in all the modules of the year course.
The learner acquires a progressively deeper and broader understanding of the accounting and of auditing, financial management, taxation and business sciences. In all semester courses, prior knowledge acquired in preceding years of study is a prerequisite for understanding the study material of modules making up year courses in subsequent years of study. Learners are assessed on their ability to apply to and integrate with, such previously acquired knowledge to the subject-matter of the later course.
