The
Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology offers programmes
emanating from foreign awarding bodies as well as a number of local
qualifications. The method of assessment is very often governed by the
specification being followed. However, lecturing staff make use of
modern educational methodology as well as extensive use of modern
equipment as the institutes may permit. This facilitates the assessment
of students who are very often encouraged to take part in group work
and assignments which contribute to their final grades.
Many
programmes incorporate a system of internal verification which
evidences that the competences established by the syllabus have been
followed and obtained. This mechanism is built into the system and
sampling is done according to established guidelines. In some cases
internal verification is followed by external verification.
University Tertiary Education
A
student's performance and progress can be assessed in a number of ways
ranging from an assignment which could include either a relatively
short or long written paper or oral presentation to a record of an
experiment or an examination or any combination of these methods. The
lecturer responsible for the study-unit determines the method of
teaching and assessment. These methods of teaching and assessment for
each study-unit is indicated in the study-unit description and
published in the catalogue of study-units, following approval by
Senate. All students on the same study-unit are assessed by the same
method/s of assessment.
Assessments may be made (a) in a
continuous mode, that is, by a set of assessments which may take the
form of class tests, take-home assignments, oral tests, practical work
/ projects, or a combination of two or more methods, or any other
method of continuous assessment approved by the Board; or (b) in a
final mode, that is by a single assessment at the end of the study
unit; or (c) in a continuous and final mode, that is, partly by a set
of assessments distributed throughout the study-unit and partly by an
assessment at the end of the study unit.
Synoptic study-units
and all compulsory study-units conducted at the end of the last
semester of any course leading to a diploma or an undergraduate degree
normally include an examination component which contributes not less
than 60% towards the final mark of the unit.
Students who fail
in any study-unit, except a study-unit that is declared to be
non-compensatable in a Programme of Studies, with a mark of not less
than 35% and whose year mark average is at least 50% is awarded the
grade of CP (compensatory pass), is awarded credit for the unit by
compensation and is not required to be reassessed. Students who fail in
any study-unit and who are not eligible to a compensatory pass are
allowed a supplementary assessment.
