INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT

Assessment in the programme is based on integrated and continuing assessment with due consideration of the following principles:

Learning is best achieved when the learner is able to see the relevance of the concept.
Learning is improved through reflective practice where the learner is given the opportunity to apply concepts and reflect on what has been learnt.
Learning is enhanced if the learner is provided with the opportunity for regular assessment, which informs his/her learning.
Small group discussion is an important feature of learning since it enables the learner to express doubts and build up confidence in a non-threatening environment.
Learners acquire insight into the assessment criteria which are considered important when asked to undertake their own assessment and the assessment of peers.

Assessment takes place through the assessment of the relevant unit standards and through assignments, with emphasis on continuous assessment during the learning programme

Assessment entails 3 elements:
Formal end of course assessment
