Fair and Consistent Assessment of Learners

We will strive to ensure that the assessment of our learners is fair and consistent and accounts for individual needs, is integrated across all programmes, is in-line with national best practice and orientated entirely towards the progress and achievement of our student body. The purpose of assessment, as we see it, is to produce feedback to the Institute on the performance of its curriculum, learning process, and/or services, thereby allowing us to improve our programmes. We do not see it as an evaluation of individual students, faculty or staff per se.

Successful assessment is borne of the Institute’s overall mission and educational purpose. Our assessment policy retains Institute-wide support among the faculty and administration and provides feedback to the aforementioned and students alike. Ultimately it leads to improvement and has imbedded in it a process for self-evaluation.
