8.7 Programme Curriculum Maps

Each of programme curriculum maps in Table 6.1 - 6.4 presents a mapping of the subjects available to students of that programme in relation to the intended learning outcomes as presented in Section 3. Each programme curriculum map denotes how each of the Scheme and Programme-specific outcomes is introduced, reinforced and assessed. It is worth noting that the Scheme and Programme-specific outcomes are achieved not just through the content of the subjects, but also through the variety of learning and teaching activities through which the contents are delivered.

Furthermore, co-curricular student development activities organised by the Student Development Committee, the Student Union or other organisations also contribute to the Scheme and Programme-specific outcomes.

Key to Table 6.1 – 6.4:

I The learning leading to the particular outcome is introduced in that subject R The learning leading to the particular outcome is reinforced in that subject A The learning leading to the particular outcome is assessed in that subject

9. Medium of Instruction

The medium of instruction is English, unless otherwise specified in the subject syllabuses.

10. Teaching and Learning Methods

The teaching and learning philosophy underlying the Scheme is based on a holistic, diversified, and flexible approach – one which enables students to achieve the intended learning outcomes. Different teaching and learning methods are used. Some are more effective in building up students’ subject knowledge while others contribute more to developing students’ generic skills and professional competence.

Teaching and learning methods may vary from subject to subject and may include interactive lectures, tutorials, case-based learning, problem-based learning, simulation, role plays, group work, practicum, experiential learning, fieldwork, guest talks, company visits, study tours, etc. The diversity of teaching and learning methods addresses the need to use the most appropriate ways to achieve the intended learning outcomes of each subject. Teaching is conducted through lectures as well as tutorials and/or seminars. To maximise students’ learning, subject lecturers not only play the role of introducing new concepts and imparting knowledge, but they also act as facilitators to encourage students to share their ideas and experience through class discussions, case studies, oral presentations, and group activities. Laboratory sessions and/or practicum will be included for practical subjects to provide hands-on practice. For award-specific subjects, more emphasis will be given to the competence-based and practical orientation of the curriculum.

11. Assessment and Examinations 11.1 Principles of Assessment

Assessments used in the Associate Degree Scheme in Science and Technology can be developmental, summative or both. For summative assessment, the prime purpose is to enable students to demonstrate that they have met the aims and intended learning outcomes of the award and, in particular, that they have fulfilled the requirements of each subject and have achieved the standard commensurate with the award at the end of their studies. Methods of assessment will be selected on the basis of their suitability to assess the extent to which students have achieved the intended learning outcomes.

Assessment will also provide constant feedback to students, thus serving a developmental function as well. Students will be informed of their performance in the assessment so that they are aware of the extent to which they have attained the intended learning outcomes, and of the areas that they need improvements.

(38)

11.2 Role of Subject Assessment Review Panel

The Subject Assessment Review Panel (SARP) is responsible for monitoring the academic standard and quality of subjects and ratifying subject results. SARP reviews the distribution of grades within a subject and finalises the grades at the end of each semester / term before submitting them to the Board of Examiners (BoE). The BoE will not attempt to change the grades. SARP is also responsible for granting late assessments to students and deciding the form of late assessments.

The SARP is to be chaired by the Director of HKCC or delegate. Members of the SARP include the relevant subject examiners, and where appropriate, the Scheme Leader, Assistant Scheme Leader(s), Programme Leader(s), Assistant Programme Leader(s), Deputy Programme Leader, and other co-opted members.

2. de-registration cases; and

3. cases with extenuating circumstances.

11.4 Assessment Methods

Students’ performance in a subject shall be assessed by coursework and/or examinations, as deemed appropriate. Where both methods are used, the weighting of each in the overall subject grade has been clearly stated in this definitive scheme document. To pass a subject, students must obtain a pass grade in both coursework AND examination, if any. Satisfying (or otherwise) the attendance requirement as stipulated in Section 7 will also affect the pass and failure of a student in a subject.

All assessment methods will be designed on the basis that they can assess the extent to which students have attained the intended learning outcomes. The methods may include objective questions, open-ended essays, group projects, field study, laboratory work, presentations, reflective journals, learning portfolios, case study, and various forms of classroom participation.

At the beginning of each semester, the subject lecturer will inform students of the details of the assessment methods to be used within the assessment framework as specified in the definitive scheme document.
