4. Suggested Assessment Task / Technique
Assessment tasks need to be synchronized with assessment objectives, assessment
criteria, and the eight domains of programme learning outcomes.
The method of assessment will depend on the specific requirement of each module.
However, the following guidelines have to be considered:
Summative and formative assessments should be used.
Knowledge and understanding should be tested through written, oral or other
suitable means.
Practical skills should be tested through practical assessment such as studio
projects, individual and group projects.
Personal Quality should be tested through the individual‟s style, personal identity
and confidence, and the individual‟s quality of inventiveness as well as through
other suitable means.
