Integrated Assessment:
The integrated assessment for this is based on the principles of formative and summative assessments. With this approach the study material during a semester is broken up into separate components and these demarcated segments are assessed to gauge the knowledge and insights obtained by the learner on the specific component of the module. The final summative assessment in the examination is based on the whole spectrum of work covered for the module and is used to gauge the ability of the student to integrate all components of the module in its totality and is assessed on the total knowledge and insight of the module.

Different assessment modules are used in the application of the formative and summative assessment approach. For foundational modules the normal approach will be to set class tests or limited assignments as formative assessments. In the case of end user computing additional practical work on computer use is added to test skills. For the core modules at the second and third year of study extended assignments, case study work and formal presentations are added to the class tests. The work integrated component is assessed through the submission of a work report on the completed work assignment. The research paper is assessed on the scientific method of research design and application, and resultant conclusions and recommendations.

The formative and summative assessment methods will measure the ability of the learner to integrate the theory and practice of foundational learning modules with that of the core modules, and find practical applications in business and Human Resource Management, policies and strategies. In this process the learner is assessed on the extent he/she has been able to integrate the knowledge, values, skills and insights of the learning modules of the qualification, and to which extent the student will be able to operate within the business environment.

The assessment practices of the institution are based on the principles of being fair, transparent, valid and reliable and are applied in such a way as not to disadvantage any student.
