Frequently Asked Questions

17. What about the practical work? (17 of 18)

The assignments in the back of the A5 books are practical and employ discussion, meditation or report writing. Two of these assignments count towards the first component of the module mark. There is also a prescribed TASK (practical work) for each module. This is marked using a Task Assessment Schedule Kit. This mark is the second component of the module mark. The Workbooks are used to guide students through the lectures again at home. Tests are set using these Workbook questions to attain a third mark. These three marks are added together to provide a composite module mark. The Student Software Programme even handles weighted marks.
Mentored Students (living too far from a Tuition Centre and having only a Mentor) can register on the Calvary Academics website for R120 per qualification and write web-based tests counting 60% of the final mark. The remaining 40% may be marked as formative evaluation by the Mentor as follows: 15% Assignments; 10% Tasks (practical work); 10% Group Work / Discussion; 5% Work File. Modules may differ in this. Hereby evaluation is secure in the absence of a nearby Tuition Centre’s quality infra-structure and we have proof of the required tutoring.
