Overview of Assessment
Progressive assessments will include written and oral demonstration, assignments, tests, projects and computer assisted learning.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment task 1 (assignment ): 20%
Written assignment to demonstrate an understanding with applications of linear algebra, including matrices, determinants, linear mappings, solving systems of linear equations, vectors, lines and planes, function of multiple variables (partial derivatives) and sequences and series.. Also will include: applications of differential equations, partial differential equations, number theory, statistics and probability . Assessment allows students to work as a group which will help to revise and prepare for the next assessment (Test which will cover similar topics up to week 9, and Final exam which will cover all topics).
Assessment task 2 (test ): 30%
This assessment demonstrates an understanding with applications of linear algebra, including matrices, determinants, linear mappings, systems of linear equations, vectors, lines and planes, function of multiple variables (partial derivatives) and sequences and series, which are covered from week 1 to week 8. The time allowed for this test is no more that 2 hours.
Assessment task 3 (Final Exam): 50%
This assessment demonstrates an understanding with applications of of linear algebra, including matrices, determinants, linear mappings, systems of linear equations, vectors, lines and planes, function of multiple variables (partial derivatives) ,sequences and series, differential equations, partial differential equations, number theory, statistics and probability which is covered from week 10 to week 16. The time allowed for this exam is no more that 2 hours and 15 minutes.
