There are no "exams" at BMT College
Studying through distance education can be daunting if you are working and studying at the same time. However, we understand distance education and our students’ expectations and needs. Therefore, we have removed the uncertainty of studying in isolation. Our lecturers, administrators and support staff ensure that you find studying online enjoyable and rewarding.
We help you prepare for your assignments, notify you of every due date, and take the uncertainty of blindly submitting an assignment out of the equation.
How does BMT College assess you?
- Assessments are a compulsory component of any higher education programme. A critical aspect of BMT College assessment activities is preparing you for practical workplace situations, employment and career advancement. Nerve-wracking sit-down examinations do not contribute to preparing you for the world of work. The ability to remember endless facts (rote learning) is not part of BMT College’s assessment strategy, as we aim to train students to have insight into the prescribed study material and practically apply what they have learned.
- You will be expected to complete and submit various multiple-choice, creative and practical assignments on or before specific due dates. Your assignment schedule is issued upon registration and available on the VC calendar.
- All formative and summative assessments are completed and submitted directly online. In contrast, other forms of assessments may be first downloaded and later (on the due date) uploaded to the VC (for example, FISA assignments, research projects, WIL projects, etc.).
- The summative assignment for each module is released within a specific timeframe before the due date on the Virtual Campus (due dates are communicated to you upon registration). Summative assignments include case studies, essay questions, practical tasks and video presentations. You can work directly on your summative assignment on the VC. You can save your work as you continue and only need to submit the final version once you have completed all the questions.
- An integrated summative assessment is completed after an academic year. Depending on your programme’s curriculum, the integrated summative assignment may take place in the form of a research project/essay questions and portfolio.
- Finally, upon completing your programme (final year), you will need to attend a panel interview, usually done virtually. Panel interviews assist the academic council in authenticating and verifying your evidence, clarifying possible uncertainties, and allowing for the questioning of irregularities. It also enables our academics to verify your learning and development, enabling them to conclude if BMT College Graduateness was achieved.
