Other Information
Out of class work
Assessment will involve research outside of Class time.
Out of class work facilitates learning in a self paced manner and forms part of the overall
achievement of the competencies in the course.

 


Graded Assessment
A pass in each assessment will result in a grade for the student. Where a pass is achieved
competency for that assessment is given. Where there are multiple assessments for a single
competency the students must achieve competency (a pass) in each assessment to be deemed
competent. Competency MUST be achieved in all assessments of the course for a graded result
to be obtained.
