An authentic assessment model is reflected in the programme assessment strategy. Summative assessment is a blend of integrated assessment and module specific assessment utilising both group and individual work, and the programme assessment strategy also features a capstone assessment. Formative assessment is integrated into module delivery through both in-class and independent study activities enabling students to self-assess and / or be assessed by faculty to determine their progress towards attainment of learning outcomes. Summative assessments also include a formative element with feedback provided to learners. The capstone Applied Business Practice module requires students to integrate the learning from the programme’s modules and apply this to a real-world business scenario or problem, provided with the support of the CCT Industry Engagement Forum. The programme is available as a full-time on-campus programme and a part-time programme delivered through blended learning using the college’s physical and virtual campus facilities. Teaching, learning and assessment is undertaken in a discipline-focused context. This will be supported by members of the CCT Industry Engagement Forum who will support the programme delivery, providing real-world and real-time business challenges and experiences, through guest lecturing, site / virtual visits, and providing business-initiated problems, case studies and scenarios to inform formative and summative assessment design.
