Integrated Assessment:
With reference to the Assessment Policy of Stellenbosch University, lecturers will be encouraged to apply the following criteria for effective assessment: validity, reliability, academic integrity, transparency, fairness, achievability and timely feedback. The application of the criteria, the use of appropriate assessment methods and the integration of assessment will be monitored. Assessment will form part of the information that is used for feedback purposes to evaluate the quality of the qualification.

In order to graduate learners will have to achieve a minimum of 50% for each module. To effectively promote learning, assessment will ensure engagement with both theory and practice. There will be more than one assessment opportunity per module. Modules will use a variety of assessment methods, including essays, practical composition, orchestration and technology projects. Every module will have components of both formative and summative assessment. Detailed and timely feedback will be provided on formative assessment opportunities, enabling learners to develop the desired knowledge, skills and attitudes.
