Creating opportunities to test and apply learning within an environment which enables students to gain confidence in their learning.
The primary purpose assessment is to securely and fairly assess the students' achievement of the course's learning outcomes and to measure the quality of their achievement through the allocation of marks. Assessment is an integral part of students’ learning experience, prompting learning activity, providing opportunities to test and apply learning, and enabling students to gain confidence in their learning. Assessment takes many forms within the University’s courses (For example, the receipt of feedback informs students about their progress and achievement and encourages them to reflect and plan for further and future learning activity).
