Assignments & Passing Criteria

For each of the six Core Modules ,the participants are required to submit an assignment of 1,500 to 2,000 words reflecting on how they can apply the theories/practices they learnt in the module. They are also required to submit a report with 3,000 to 4,000 English words or 4,000 to 5,000 words in Chinese on an Action Research project. The report should reflect their learnings in the Course, the informed actions taken and their reflections on the actions. Assignments/reports will be awarded with grades in accordance to the following grading system:

A / A-Excellent
B+ / BGood
B- / C+/ CSatisfactory
C-Marginal Pass
FFail

Any participants who failed to meet the appropriate quality standards will be considered as fail and will be asked to revise their work within a reasonable time frame that is mutually agreed. Given the fact that the assignments are mostly reflective in nature, passing criteria have to be based on the professional judgment of the lecturers/tutors. It is therefore advisable that the course participants, before submitting the final product, meet with their lecturers/tutors to ensure that the format and content are acceptable. Should there be an appeal against a failure grade, the Programme Director will consider the case and opportunity for re-submission with mutual agreement on quality and a particular time frame will be provided.
