Master Folders:
It is regarded as good practice to maintain a
library of master folders for each unit within the
course - this can be held electronically provided
it is accessible to tutors delivering on the course.
All assessment exemplars MUST be kept secure
at all times.

Teaching and delivery plan – Year Teaching and delivery plan – Year Points to remember:
year one units should normally be level 7
take account of progression
- where there are introductory units leading to more advanced units
- units providing skills that will be beneficial though out the course e.g. Communications & IT
are 2 credit units better delivered in one semester or across the course?
timing of delivery of key units which are required for the Graded Unit assessment
allow for possible integration of delivery or assessment

Assessment StrategyAssessment Strategy
Formative assessment : This is an important part of the learning process.
It allows the tutor to identify if the student is
understanding the subject, and if there are any
knowledge gaps.
It also provides the student with feedback on their learning.
It will help the tutor to decide if students are ready to attempt summative assessment.

Assessment StrategyAssessment Strategy
Summative assessment:
All HND qualifications are summatively assessed using a mix of continuous Unit assessment and Graded Unit assessments
Summative assessment is carried out for the purpose of certification, and provides evidence that the student can meet the standards set out in the Unit Specification.

Assessment Planning:
The planning and timing of assessment is
decided by the tutor/assessor.
It is good practice to communicate assessment plans to students as early as possible. The
Course Tutor Guide provides suggestions on timing of assessment for each unit.

Re-assessment:
Where a student does not achieve the standard, they can be re-assessed.
In the first place they should be given feedback which advises what they need to do to prepare for re-assessment.

Assessment StrategyAssessment StrategyForms of Re-assessment:
Provide additional information e.g. a weak or missing section of a report or project
For practical tasks such as IT, they may be allowed to correct and re-submit work
For multiple choice, short response and Graded Units, they may be required to attempt an new assessment instrument.
HND Global Trade and Business
Centres may have to produce their own alternative assessments for re-assessment. It is recommended that they are submitted to SQA for Prior Approval.
