Course Learning Assessment Opportunities


Course learning assessment tasks will follow the guidelines described below:
i. All forms of assessment to foster creative and critical thinking and tasks that promote
application of learning, e.g., project, case study, and other forms of hands-on/application-
based activities.

ii. Each assessment task will address several learning outcomes and program competencies.
By the end of the course all learning outcomes will be assessed.

iii. The date for all Assessment Activities is to be clearly indicated in this course outline. No
CATs will be given during the last two weeks before final examination.

iv. All term papers and projects are to strictly follow the American Psychological
Association (APA) writing style.

Course Assessment
Students registered for the unit are required to complete all CATs which will comprise 30%
(15% CAT 1 and 15% CAT 2) of the final grade and the end of trimester examination will

16
comprise 70%. If a student failed to do the CAT or the end of trimester exam, the result is
reported as “I” (incomplete).
Grading criteria:
A = 70 -100

B = 60 - 69

C = 55 - 59

D = 50 - 54

F = 49 and below

Policy Issues

i) All students should attend all classes and actively participate


ii) If a student fails to attend more than six (6) hours in a trimester he/she will not be allowed
to sit for the final examination (this also applies to tardiness).
iii) Students with special needs are required to see the unit instructor and discuss their needs.
iv) Students repeating or auditing the unit must inform the instructor.
v) All mobile phones must be switched off during class hours.
vi) If a student is late for 10 minutes, he/she is not allowed to enter the lecture hall.
vii) If a lecturer is late for more than 10 minutes, the class representative should report the
matter to the HOD.
Other Important Educational Policies
Policy on Attendance and Tardiness

viii) Students who are absent or come late to class should be cleared by the Administration
before they are admitted to class.

Policy on Missed Continuous Assessments


ix) It is the responsibility of a student who misses a test, due to unavoidable reasons, to first
get clearance from the Administration and then to arrange with the educator to make it
up within one week of his/her return to the College. Failure to do so will result in a
grade of zero for the test in question.

Policy on Academic Integrity

17
x) The most common forms are: plagiarism, fabrication, abuse of Internet sources,
cheating, and academic misconduct.
xi) This syllabus is subject to change as class development warrants. Students will be
notified of all changes should they arise.

Health and Safety Issues

Students are responsible for their personal belongings while in campus. If students notice a
situation endangering their safety or that of others, they are advised to inform the lecturer or any
officer in the campus.

The Assessment Grade Should Be Guided by the Following four principles:


1. Whether a student demonstrates excellent and consistent understanding of principles, can
Integrate them with other material she/he has studied, and can consistently present them
creatively, with almost no errors, in written and verbal forms. Whether a student can
apply principles to new situations well and creatively. (Grade A)

2. Whether a student not only knows the principles and facts, but also can apply them to new
Situations in a creative manner most of the time. Whether a student presents written work
that is clear, creative, and generally free from mistakes. Whether a student can articulate
ideas clearly and creatively most of the time. (Grade B)

3. Whether a student knows the facts and can present them in an orderly manner and can
usually apply them to new situations. Whether a student generally presents the
information in writing that has infrequent mistakes and can be understood easily by the
reader. Whether a student can articulate the facts in an understandable manner. (Grade C)

4. Whether a student knows most of the facts and can present them in some order some of the
time. Whether a student generally presents the facts in writing that has frequent mistakes,
such that it is difficult to fully understand what the student intends. Whether the student is
generally unable to articulate the facts in an understandable manner. (Grade D)
