Course Assessment

Students will be assessed continually throughout the course in at least three assessment exercises. Each assessment exercise may be made up of more than one assessment category. These may include essays, seminars, tests, individual and group assignments, practicals, book or scientific article reviews, tutorials, oral tests, debates, written examinations, field work or other suitable and approved method. Written examinations will be held at the end of each semester while the points accumulated from assessment throughout the semester will constitute a common composite mark called the Continuous Academic Assessment (CAA). Attendance of all course activities is mandatory for all the students. CAA will be a function of attendance; active, meaningful participation and contribution in lectures, tutorials and group work; timely and accurate completion of course work assignments; and demonstration of understanding of the course content through correct application of the knowledge learnt, as judged during lectures, practicals and tutorial sessions.

CAA and end of semester examinations shall be passed independently of each other and contribute equally (50:50) to the final mark obtained in the course unit at the end of that semester. This means that each component is graded out of 50%. The passmark for each component will be 50% of its allocated marks. A candidate who fails to obtain the passmark in CAA will not be allowed to sit for the end of semester examination. Such a candidate, will be required to re-attend the course when it is next offered, and this affects his/her ability to complete the year of study. A candidate who passes the CAA but fails the end of semester examination, will be offered the chance to sit for a supplementary examination in that same academic year at a time approved by the university.
