Assessment

Assessment in this course is based on two components - tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) and a final examination.

You are expected to learn and fully utilise the course materials provided along with the references recommended for this course. Besides that, you are also strongly encouraged to read extra materials related to this course and discuss topics of interest with your course mates from time to time.

Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMAs)

The assignment policy of the University as stated in the Student Handbook should be observed. You are required to complete both TMAs for this course and submit them in accordance with the deadlines published in WawasanLearn. All the assessment modes fit into two TMAs for computational and grading purposes.

When you submit your assignments, you should not present the work of others as your own work. This includes submitting an assignment or part of an assignment which has been written jointly with other persons or has been copied in its entirety or in part without acknowledgement from the work of other persons, whether published or otherwise. Such actions or attempts are considered as academic dishonesty (plagiarism). If you have violated this regulation, you will be liable to proceedings and other disciplinary action as specified by the University

With your student ID and password, you should be able to download the two TMAs from the University's Learning Management System - i.e., WawasanLearn. If you encounter any difficulty, you may contact your Regional Office (RO) for assistance.

The final examination will be a proctored examination.

The examination paper consists of two sections:

Section B comprises 60% of the total weightage for this paper. This section is compulsory, and consists of essay questions that will require you to discuss with relevant examples the concepts and application of ICT in education.

The final examination contributes 60% of the total course marks. The overall assessment will be constituted as follows:

You are required to attend all scheduled examinations that make up a final grade at the appointed time and place.

Students who are experiencing illness or a personal crisis and are unable to sit for any examination have to state [in writing] to the Registrar the reasons for their absence. Each submission must be supported by valid documents within seven (7) days from the date of the examination and will be considered by the University on its merits and on a case-by-case basis.

If you miss a scheduled examination without approval, you will be awarded zero marks for the examination.
