Integrated Assessment:
Integrated assessment will be achieved from a variety of strategies including written examinations, group and individual projects and assignments, field trips, practical examinations and a research report. Some of the criteria may be assessed through observation of the learners during their classes.
Formative integrated assessment will take place during seminar presentations, discussions and tutorials during which students are expected to participate in self-assessment, peer assessment and assessment by members of the relevant academic staff.
Summative assessment will comprise the delivery of a research report which will integrate practical, theoretical and reflective competence. All aspects of the research report will be included in the assessment. There will also be a written examination; an objective structured practical examination and possibly an oral examination may be required.
