Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the underpinning knowledge will be assessed on the completion of each course, but the competency itself will not be signed off until further courses related to the competency are completed and the student is deemed competent.
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Work Simulation Projects
• Written Assignments
• Schedule Practical Exercises


Assessment Tasks

Due Week 4: Frame Relay/X.25 Lab (Laboratory) 10%

Due Week 6: Configure and report on a PPP account giving settings, properties, etc. (Assignment) 10%

Due Week 16:Major Project - to be distributed (Project) 30%

Due Week 8: Simulation of ISDN System (Laboratory) 10%

Due Week 11: Simulation of DSL Systems (Laboratory) 10%

Due Week 14: Simulation of GSM Testing (Laboratory) 10%

Due Week 15: Operate and Maintain a Fibre Optics Communications Equipment including Provisioning (Laboratory) 10%

Due Week 15: Class Test (Test/Laboratory) 10%
