Clarification

  • This grading scale indicates the degree to which the participant has demonstrated achievement of the outcomes specified for the assignment, module or programme and the extent to which assessment criteria have been met.
  • This scale is in line with the NQF-requirements for outcomes-based assessment, while accommodating the needs of participants and lecturers for a wider distinction than grading participants simply as ‘Competent’ or ‘Not-yet-competent’.
  • Symbols A, B and C are awarded to participants who are Competent, and D and E symbols indicate that participants are Not Yet Competent.
  • Participants should be provided with the table below for clarification of what the symbols signify.
