| Assessment is a key factor in ODL. It will serve as a motivational tool
for you because it creates learning opportunities through the provision of feedback. This will lead to the achievement of
your intended outcomes.
Your final grade for each course will depend on your performance in the continuous assessment and in the final examination.
Continuous assessment may consist of tutor-marked assignments (TMA), short tests, quizzes, projects, laboratory sessions or participation in online forums. These will be assessed by your personal tutors.
The final examinations are held at the end of every semester and usually will be held at designated examination
centres.
It is necessary to pass both the continuous assessment and the final examination components to achieve a pass status on the
course.
