5. Teaching, Learning and Assessment 

Teaching & Learning 

An ultimate goal for teaching and learning is to cultivate the capability of 

students as independent learners so they will be able to learn during their future 

studies and career. Education discourses indicate that the deep approach student 

learning is most desirable as it involves students in the “transformation and 

restructuring of their knowledge to enable them to understand and interpret the 

materials and to view it from more than one perspective” (Chalmers and Fuller 

1996:7). Although the traditional teaching pattern with a mixture of lecture, 

tutorial and laboratory sessions are used for delivery of courses, guided 

discussions, case studies, peer group learning, critique and self-reflection 

activities will be incorporated in teaching the courses as seen appropriate by the 

instructors. 

All programmes offered by CCCU adopt the Outcome-Based Teaching and 

Learning (OBTL) approaches. As a programme emphasizing operations students 

not only are expected to acquire the necessary knowledge for different relevant 

operations, learning how to analyse different situations and come up with 

reasonable decisions and practices are also essential. To nurture a work attitude 

that is responsible, reliable and cooperative always remains as another major goal 

of the programme. 

With outcome based teaching and learning (OBTL) there is no norm referencing 

of the results of each course. Providing you meet the criteria set by the course 

examiner for achieving a particular grade for a particular piece of assessment, 

you will receive that grade. This means that if all students in a class meet the 

stated criteria for an ‘A+’ grade for the course; they will all get an ‘A+’ grade. 

It is therefore to your mutual advantage to assist each other – not by copying 

from each other (!!!), but by helping your fellow student understand the course 

materials so that they can complete their assignments themselves. This is peer 

learning and it is considered to be one of the most effective learning mechanisms. 

Assessment and Academic Honesty 

Students’ progress is assessed by a combination of formal examinations at 

specified times in the year, together with periodic assessments of coursework, 

laboratory exercises and project work. 

The assessment of students’ performance is an appraisal of the extent to which 

students are attaining or have attained the objectives of the programme. The 


Assessment Panel shall consider students’ performance in all components of the 

assessment for those courses in the programme. 

Please read the ‘Academic Regulations of AD Programme’ from the CCCU 

website (http://www.cityu.edu.hk/cccu/cs_rules_regulation.htm) concerning assessment 

and note the regulations regarding appeals, extenuating circumstances, and 

application deadline for a review of the decision of the Assessment Panel. 

Academic honesty is your responsibility. CCCU advise you that: “You must 

pursue your studies with academic honesty, which is central to the conduct of 

academic work. You are expected to present your own work, give proper 

acknowledgement of other's work, and honestly report findings obtained.” For 

the source of this quotation and more information, please visit: 

http://www.cityu.edu.hk/cccu/rules_acad_honesty_20100726.pdf 

Grade, Grade Point, and Award 

Each course you complete is given a letter grade. From best to worst, the grades 

are A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, and F. Each grade is also converted into a 

“grade point”. The conversion is A+ = 4.3, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, ….., 

C- = 1.7, D = 1, F = 0. 

Grade ‘F’ indicates failure in a course and a student failing a course will have to 

re-take it. Students with grade ‘D’ in a course are recommended to re-take it with 

a hope of achieving a better result. After re-taking a grade ‘D’ or ‘F’ course, the 

new grade will replace the original grade. Under the regulations of the 

University, students can only attempt a course for not more than three times and 

are only allowed to re-take courses with grade ‘D’ or below. 

In a semester if you have taken m courses, your “Semester Grade Point Average” 

(SGPA) is the average of the grade point of those m courses: 

SGPA = 

m 

( 

i1 

 

GiUi) 

m 

i1 

Ui 

where G i is the grade point of the ith course and U i 

is the number of credit units of the ith course. 

If you attend classes, complete tests and assignments, it is very unlikely you will 

fail. Students who fail do so because they do not attend classes or attend tests or 

complete assignments. Failure typically occurs for one of the following two 

reasons: 

1. Too much part-time work and/or entertainment. 

2. Personal problems involving family and relationships. If this happens to you, 

please approach us immediately. We can help you make appointments with the University’s 

personal counselors for further assistance. 


After a student has completed all the required courses for the programme a 

“Cumulative Grade Point Average” (CGPA) is calculated, indicating the average 

GPA of all the courses the student has taken (except Pass-and-Fail courses). 

Suppose the student has taken n courses: 

CGPA = 

n 

( 

i1 

 

GiUi) 

n 

i1 

Ui 

A student passing all the required courses in the progragmme will be awarded 

the Associate degree by the University provided that his/her CGPA is ‘1.7’ or 

above. It is possible for a student with an exceptionally good CGPA to be 

awarded graduation with “Credit” or with “Distinction”. 

If your CGPA fall below ‘1.7’ in any semester, your academic status will be 

marked as “Academic Warning” or “Probation”, depending on how low your 

CGPA is. An Academic Advisor will then be appointed to discuss with you the 

reason for your poor performance and to give you advice. 

Students who are unable to get out of “Probation” after two semesters or fail a 

course three times are typically recommended for “Termination”. If you are 

terminated, you will not be able to apply for another programme of study at the 

CCCU for a period of one year. Thus, it is much better to inform ARRO that you 

wish to apply for “Withdrawal from Studies” rather than be terminated. 

Maximum Period of Study 

Students shall complete all programme requirements (i.e. 60 credits) within 4 

years, inclusive of programme transfer and any periods of leave of absence and 

suspension of studies. Requests for extension of study beyond the maximum 

study period will not be granted. 

Students who cannot complete all programme requirements for graduation 

within the maximum study period will be required to discontinue their studies 

and is not allowed readmission to the same programme. If a student applies for 

programme transfer involving a change of study mode, the new maximum period 

of study will be calculated on a pro-rata basis as determined by CCCU. 


6. Student Development 

Communication Channels 

It is vitally important for students to monitor any communication channel 

relating to academic matters and students activities. The main channels for 

promulgating information to students are – 

1. E-mail provided by CityU/CCCU. 

(Important Note: Please include in your email messages your full name, student ID number, 

programme of study, and, if the matter relates to a particular course, include the course code as 

well. It is difficult and time consuming for a staff member to identify a student if the only clue 

is the email alias. Your inquiry will be dealt with much faster if you provide these details.) 

2. Course announcements page on Blackboard. 

3. Programme announcements page on Blackboard. 

4. Divisional Website (http://www.dco.cityu.edu.hk). 

5. Lectures and classes. 

6. Class Representatives. 

Please check the Email and Blackboard channels regularly. If a staff member is 

unable to hold a lecture or class on a particular day due, for example, to illness, 

email and Blackboard is usually the fastest way of informing students. 

During your programme of study, you may encounter situations where you need 

advice, or you may even wish to complain about a particular situation. In general, 

if the matter relates to your academic studies, the following steps are 

recommended – 

1. Consult the Course Examiner 

2. Consult the Year Tutor (or your Academic Advisor) 

3. Consult the Programme Leader 

4. Consult the Head of Division 

5. Consult the Principle of CCCU 

At each step, if your problem is not dealt with to your satisfaction move to the 

next step. If you prefer to consult a higher authority, it is recommended that you 

consider either the Programme Leader or the Head of Division first. 

On the other hand, if you need help with a personal matter or problem, the year 

tutor or the programme leader can help by arranging an appointment with one of 

the University’s professional Personal Counselors. 


Services and Supports 

Associate degree students of the Community College of City University can 

access the services offered by both the Student Development Services (SDS) and 

the Career and Internship Office (CAIO) of the University. 

SDS of CityU (http://www.cityu.edu.hk/sds) 

Students are strongly encouraged to make full use of the services offered. These 

include – 

• The Whole Person Development Scheme. 

• The Student Ambassador Scheme. 

• Seminars and Workshops which contribute to whole person development. 

• Personal Counseling. For students who have personal problems and need advice, the 

Student Development Services provides personal counselling services. Personal counselors 

are trained and experienced people who can provide valuable, practical advices. If you feel you 

need their help, please contact the Student Development Services directly for an appointment 

(Tel. 3442 8090). 

CAIO of CityU (http://www.cityu.edu.hk/caio) 

Students are strongly encouraged to make full use of the services offered. These 

are particularly important. The CAIO send by email a monthly calendar to all 

students and staff informing of the various events scheduled for the following 

month. These events include seminars by specific employers in Hong Kong and 

job interview training workshops. It is very difficult to find this kind of training 

once you have completed your studies, so take full advantage of these 

opportunities while you are still our students. 

Student Union and Divisional Societies 

Students study at the Kowloon Tong campus can join any of the clubs and 

societies organized under the Student Union of the University. You are also able 

to participate as an officer of the clubs and societies (secretary, president, etc. 

subject to election). Students at the Telford campus can also join the Divisional 

Societies. 

Student Mentoring Scheme (SMS) 

The SMS aims to help the first-year students to adjust to the university learning 

environment and campus life. Senior students were engaged as their mentors to 

facilitate this process. Financial support for mentoring activities is also available 

for all associate degree students at CCCU. 

CCCU Student Development Services 

To provide for the particular needs of CCCU students, the Community College of 

City University also has its own Student Development Services (CCCU SDS) unit. 


CCCU encourages whole person development by organizing different 

competitions and scholarships/awards for students. Currently, CCCU provides 

the following scholarships and awards on an annual basis: 

Scholarship / Award 

Number 

Available 

Amount 

Scholarship 30 $6,000 

Entrance Scholarships 4 $6,000 

Academic Improvement Scholarship 8 $6,000 

Outstanding Student Leader Award 12 $6,000 

Outstanding Competitive Event Award 5 $6,000

these activities using a “Student Leadership Award Scheme Activities Record 

Book” which is available from the CCCU Office. Your hours will be converted 

into points which are then used to decide the winners of the Outstanding 

Student Leader Award. 

The Outstanding Competitive Event Award is designed to encourage 

participation in open competitive events which may include anything from sports 

to cultural activities. 

The CCCU External Achievement Competition recognizes and rewards 

independent achievements outside of CityU and CCCU. There are several 

competition entries in the following areas: 

Open sports competitions 

Other open competitions 

Charity events 

Community services

Winners of the CCCU External Achievement Competition 

Former students who have established successful careers 

Students can refer to the CCCU’s Student Development Programme Community 

website on the Blackboard for the full details and regulations. The website will 

also be used to inform all CCCU students about forthcoming events organized 

under the Student Development Programme. If you have any achievements, you 

are also welcome to submit them through this website. 

Divisional Support
