Integrated Assessment:
Assessment across the qualification forms an integral part of the teaching and learning process for this programme. In achieving the learning outcomes, students are required to comply with the minimum assessments set for the level of the qualification, as per the Institution's Assessment Policy. Assessments vary depending on the module and the outcomes of the module, however all modules are formatively and summatively assessed. The assessment of theoretical modules is usually in the form of assignments, practical's and written tests or examinations. The weighting of the different assessments toward the calculation of the final mark is clearly indicated to students in the learning guide for each module.
Integrated Assessments/case studies also take place through a variety of assignments, for example, those completed in industry or those that assess aggregated knowledge acquired (such as in a capstone module).
Formative and Summative Assessment:
Formative Assessment opportunities are not formally recorded and take the form of class tests, question and answer sessions and monitoring of practical work.
Summative Assessment leads to the final judgmental mark in accordance to the institution's Assessment Policy. The assessments for theoretical modules will be in the form of assignments and written tests or practical examinations.
Besides the above, the student must show competency in all outcomes and specifically to present integrated research findings that are interpreted and linked to the existing literature across the entire area of the investigation in the dissertation.
Each student is assigned a supervisor based on their area of specialisation. The University of Johannesburg (UJ) Policy: Student-supervisor relationship outlines the rights and obligations of Master's students and supervisors and co-supervisors. It gives a clear and concise outline of the expectations of both parties with the aim of aiding the development and maintenance of a sound and productive relationship between student and supervisor. |
