ASSESSMENT
An assessment file and a marking scheme will be made available to you.
In the assessment file, you will find details of the works you must
submit to your tutor for marking. You will be assessed in two ways in
this course – the tutor-marked assignment and a written examination.
The marks you obtain in the tutor-marked assignment and the written
examination will make up your final marks. The assignment must be
submitted to your tutor for formal assessment in accordance with the
deadline stated in the presentation schedules and the assignment file.
The work you submit to your tutor for assessment will account for 30%
of your total score.
TUTOR-MARKED ASSIGNMENT (TMA)
You will have to submit a specified number of the Tutor-Marked
Assignments (TMAs). Every unit in this course has a Tutor-Marked
Assignment. You will be assessed on four of them, but the best three
performances from the (TMAs) will be used for computing your 30%.
When you have completed each assignment, send it together with a
tutor- marked assignment form, to your Tutor. Make sure each
assignment reaches your tutor on or before the deadline for submissions.
If for any reason you cannot complete your work on time, contact your
tutor for a discussion on the possibility of an extension. Extensions will
not be granted.
