C. Promotion regulations: Continuous and Diversified Assessment without a final examination

C.1 Courses that are assessed by continuous assessment only with no final examination, will present a minimum of six (6)assessment opportunities in a semester, the results of each of which will be utilised to calculate the final mark for the course

in a ratio as published in the course outline for each such course. The ratio is determined by the principle course lecturer inliaison with the head of the department in which the course is resident.

The assessments may include examinations, laboratory practicals in conjunction with laboratory reports and associatedtests, computer simulation -, design - or other types of assignment reports and associated tests, tutorials in conjunctionwith assessed tutorial scripts, as well as other types of suitable assessments that the principle course lecturer may fromtime to time identify in liaison with the head of the department in which the course resides.

The requirement of six (6) assessments excludes the final year project courses whose assessment shall be determined by theHead of the Department in which the course resides in liaison with the Dean of the relevant faculty. The procedure for thecalculation of the final mark for such courses shall be as described in the course outline.

Exceptions to the stated minimum number of assessments for any particular course or the general application of this rule tosuch course must be approved by Senate before that course is presented in the mode for which approval is sought.

C.2 With the exception of final year project courses, at least fifty percent (50 %) of the final mark of the courses describedin D.1 will be made up of assessments that are conducted under controlled conditions similar to those under whichinstitutional examinations are conducted. Such assessments are hereinafter referred to as the examination component ofthe course. The actual weight (≥ 50%) of the examination component of the course to the final mark is as determined by theprincipal course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in which the course resides and is as published in thecourse outline.

No student who obtains a mark of less than 40% for the examination component of the final mark passes the course. Theexamination component covers the entire course syllabus and each individual assessment in this component coversapproximately equal portions of the syllabus.

C.3 A student who misses one or more assessment(s) of the examination component of the course (i.e. an assessment asdefined in D.2), or who fails one - or more such assessment(s), will be given the opportunity to improve their results for allbut one (1) such failed - or missed assessments by writing relevant sections (2) of a single supplementary examination that isset on the whole syllabus of the course and that covers the different portions of the work on an equitable basis asdetermined by the principle course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in which the course resides.

13

If only one such assessment is scheduled in a course, every student who fails - or misses the assessment is entitled to writethe supplementary examination that will in this case consist of only one section.

The marks obtained by the student for the relevant sections of such supplementary examination will replace the resultshe/she obtained in the corresponding missed - or failed examination(s).

The supplementary examination will be conducted during the scheduled contact hours for the course during the regularinstitutional examination period towards the end of the semester, in the same week as the last scheduled regularexamination.

The results previously obtained by a student who misses the supplementary examination are retained in the calculation ofthe final mark for that student.

A student who writes only certain portions of the supplementary examination will be required to hand in the answer scriptand leave the examination venue after the lapse of a time period that is commensurate with the time allocated for thecompletion of the relevant portion(s).

C.4 No supplementary opportunity will be granted for failed laboratory practical reports and/or failed - or missedassociated tests. A student is awarded a mark of zero for a practical report that is submitted later than the deadline forsubmission of such report as published in the course outline.

No student who misses a laboratory practical is allowed to submit a report for the missed practical, either individually or aspart of a group.

A student who misses a laboratory practical has to apply in writing to the head of department in which the course resides toobtain permission for the missed practical to be undertaken at a later stage. Depending on the unique circumstancesdescribed in the application and the additional resources required for the particular practical to be repeated and assessed,the request may either be approved or denied. If it is denied, the student is awarded a mark of zero for the missed practical.

The results of tests of student knowledge related to laboratory practical’s and/or assignments are employed in thecalculation of the mark for the student for the particular practical. The contribution of the marks obtained in such tests tothe mark obtained for the practical as a whole is as determined by the principle course lecturer in liaison with the head ofthe department in which the course is resident and is as published in the course outline.A student who misses a laboratory practical is not allowed to take the tests that pertain to the missed practical.

A student fails the practical if he/she obtains a mark of less than 50% for that practical. A student fails the course if he/sheobtains a fail mark in more than the total number of scheduled practical’s but one3. This rule is waived if only one practical isscheduled in the course.

C.5 No supplementary opportunity will be granted for failed assignment reports and/or failed - or missed associated tests.A student is awarded a mark of zero for an assignment report that is submitted later than the deadline for submission ofsuch report as published in the course outline.

The results of tests of student knowledge related to assignments are employed in the calculation of the mark for thestudent for the particular assignment. The contribution of the marks obtained in such tests to the mark obtained for theassignment as a whole is as determined by the principle course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in whichthe course is resident and is as published in the course outline.

A student who misses the deadline for submission of an assignment report is not allowed to take the tests that pertain tothe assignment.


19/106

14

A student fails the assignment if he/she obtains a mark of less than 50 % for that assignment. A student fails the course ifhe/she obtains a fail mark in more than the total number of scheduled assignments but one. This rule is waived if only oneassignment is scheduled in the course.

C.6 No supplementary opportunity will be granted for missed - or failed assessed tutorials. A student who misses anassessed tutorial will be requested to hand in a tutorial script at the end of a subsequent tutorial session and the markobtained for such tutorial script will be deemed to be the mark obtained for the missed tutorial opportunity. A student ofwhom the attendance rate for tutorials does not allow the required number of tutorial scripts to be handed in, will receive amark of zero for tutorial scripts not handed in immediately after the end of the tutorial sessions in which these wererequested.

C.7 No reason needs to be provided for missed assessment opportunities except in the case of a missed laboratory practicalfor which the application described in D.4 is required.

C.8 Opportunities for the improvement of marks obtained for a failed final year project report exist and are as described inparagraph AC4.4 of the Yearbook (Part 1: General Information and Regulations).

NOTE: Students are required to do a compulsory component of Work Integrated Learning (WIL), i.e. WIL620S and WIL720S,as a pre-condition for graduation.

Transition Arrangements The Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (2008 curriculum) will be phased out systematically until 2018 withminimum disruption to existing students’ learning progression. The last intake of 1st year students for the out-phasingprogramme (old curriculum) was in January 2012.

Students who were registered in 2012 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (2008 curriculum), and who do notmeet the rules of the Faculty of Engineering for progression to the 2nd year at the end of 2012, will be required to change

their registration to the revised programme (new curriculum), and will be granted credits on a course-by-course basis inaccordance with information in Table 1, below. Students who are registered in 2012 for the 1st year of the out-phasingprogramme (old curriculum), and who meet the minimum requirements for progression to the 2nd year at the end of 2012,will also be required to transition to the revised programme (new curriculum), and will be granted credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table 1, below. However, students who were registered in 2012 for the 2ndyear of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who did not meet the minimum requirements at the end of 2012 toprogress to the third year in 2013, will be required to repeat the 2nd year, and to subsequently complete their studies, basedon the requirements of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum). Students in this category would have the option totransition to the revised programme (new curriculum) in 2013, but stand to lose credits.

Students who were registered in 2012 for the 2nd and 3rd year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and whomeet the minimum requirements to progress to the 3rd and 4th year of the programme in 2013, will be required to completetheir studies based on the requirements of the old curriculum.

Students who were registered in 2012 for the 4th (final) year of the out-phasing programme will be required to complete theprogramme based on the requirements of the old curriculum.

The revised Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (new curriculum) takes effect from January 2013 with concurrentimplementation of the 1st and 2nd years. The revised programme (new curriculum) will be fully implemented by 2015.Courses will only be offered based on the new/revised syllabi in 2013 (1st and 2nd year), 2014 (3rd year), and 2015 (4th year).Students who fail any of the courses on the old curriculum will be required to repeat such courses based on the syllabi ofnew/revised corresponding courses (please refer to Table 2, below, for information on the new/revised correspondingcourses to be done, if courses on the old curriculum are failed).
