Internal Assessment 100%
Students must demonstrate competency of each of the
six topics.
- A test is to be given at the end of each topic.
- Each topic is to be assessed by test items which
correspond to the performance objectives in that topic. The student must score
at least 70% on the topic test to be granted mastery of the topic.
- Provision will be made for the student to be re-tested on
topics for which mastery was not demonstrated.
- A cumulative test covering all topics is to be taken at
the end of the course. The student must score at least 60% on this test.
- The student is allowed one cumulative re-test.
- Subject to the student demonstrating mastery of each topic
test and scoring at least 60% on the cumulative test, the final student
percentage is calculated by adding the average of the six topic test
percentages (score out of 100) to half the cumulative test percentage (score
out of 50) and then subtracting 50 from the total.
- Students who have not mastered all six topics and
satisfactorily completed the cumulative test within one semester may have their
result placed on hold. These students will have the next semester within which
to demonstrate mastery of all topics and complete the cumulative test or they
will be given a failing grade.
