D EVALUATION

1. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

The tutorial assessments are designed to assess comprehension, application and analysis. Students write the tutorials or
part thereof individually. They are then placed in ad hoc teams of up to four students to discuss their answers and to
produce a combined answer sheet. The combined answer sheet will be assessed by the lecturer or assistant for feedback
purposes.
Formative assessment is open-book. The learner may use his/her own reference books and other resources.

2. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

2.1. LABORATORY / PRACTICAL ASSIGNMENTS

The purpose of this assessment is to reconcile practice with theory. The attainment of the specific outcomes will be
assessed by observation of the practical demonstrations performed in the laboratory and the analysis undertaken followed
by a report (which will serve as the only record). This assessment is open-book, therefore a learner may use his/her own
reference books and other resources. The work is conducted in groups with the team leader being rotated for each lab
session.

Note: It is the learner’s responsibility to ensure that he/she

reaches a high level of competency before being assessed. The learner should therefore consult the laboratory
technician/assistant for additional access to the laboratory if required.

2.2. THEORETICAL ASSESSMENTS

The purpose of this assessment is to ascertain whether or not the specific outcomes have been achieved by an individual.
Students write a minimum of three theoretical assessments individually. The attainment of the specific outcomes will be
assessed by the application of the assessment criteria supplied with each unit of learning and detailed for each assessment

task. This assessment is closed-book and therefore the application of the various engineering concepts are written from
memory.

2.3 CONTINUOUOS EXAMINATION TESTS

This IS done in the form of 3 test, the purpose of this assessment is to ascertain whether or not the key theoretical and
practical concepts pertaining to the specific outcomes have been synthesized and integrated for this module by the
individual. Learners do the final assessment individually at the end of the module. This assessment is a written test and
therefore the theoretical and practical application of the engineering concepts are tested.

Evaluation shall be based on:

 Year mark = 7 x Exams x 0.7

 Assignment x 0.3

 Exam mark = 1st Test 0.3

2nd Test 0.3
Final Test 0.4

 Final mark = (Ym x0.7) +(Em x 0.3)

 Final Mark = 3 x Class Test (50% of Final Mark)
 = 3 x Assignment (50% of Final Mark)
 = 50% sub-minimum for final mark

 The student must acquire a sub-minimum of 50% in both Assignment work and class tests to pass the Module.

 The student will not be allowed final test entry if he/she has failed to achieve a sub-minimum of 10% 1 st and 2nd
test together (this applies to achieve a minimum of 50% passing final test with full marks).

 To pass the subject the student must achieve a sub-minimum of 50% for the exams class tests and 50% Assignment
work.

 The subject is closed book during evaluation (including exam tests). A formula sheet will be made available. Student
can expect to be pressured on time.

E PRACTICAL WORK

An assignment, as determined by the lecturer, will be done by the student. This shall include:
Self-study (research)
