📋 Assessments

💬
The tools include online collaborative discussions forums that focus on team learning and personal mastery and will therefore provide you with peer feedback, lecturer assessment and self- reflection.
📋
You will also be required to do one major assignment/project that is meant to assess the application of the skills and knowledge gained during the course. The project score in combination with scores for e-tivities (where graded) will account for 40% of your final examination score with the remaining 60% coming from a face to face sit-in final written examination that will be guided by your university examination policy and procedures.
