3. PREREQUISITES

A student must have passed grade 12/matric or NCV L4. A pass in Introduction

Accounting will provide entrance for students who obtained a Senior Certificate but

initially lacked the required proficiency to enrol for Financial Accounting N4.

4. DURATION

Full-time: A minimum 5 hours per week for one semester.

Part time: A minimum of 3 hours per week for one semester.

5. EVALUATION

Evaluation is conducted on a continual basis by means of short class and revision tests, formal tests, internal assessment and practice-orientated assignments, exercises as well as an external examination.

5.1 Internal evaluation/assessment 5.1.1 Class and revision tests/assessments

Short class and revision tests are given on a regular basis and are aimed at rectifying problems before proceeding with new modules. Class and revision tests can be short daily tests that take up a short time during each period, and are compiled and marked in accordance with the amount of work done in the module. Exercises done by students, as well as short assignments can also be marked and can count towards the semester mark for class and revision tests.

5.1.2 Formal tests/assessments Formal tests are conducted to cover all modules or work units.

These tests are aimed at evaluating students’ knowledge on completion of modules or work units.

5.1.3 Practice-orientated assignments Students are given a practice-orientated assignment and projects to evaluate whether they have mastered the practical component of Accounting. Student performance with regard to zeal, punctuality in completing tasks or assignments conscientiousness, interest, dedication, adaptability, etc. which should be gradually developed to facilitate entrance to the world of work, is also included. These marks, in relation to the weighted value of the indicated modules, form part of the final semester mark.

6. SEMESTER MARK

6.1. A semester mark is determined out of 100 and is compiled from formal tests, internal examination and marks allocated to an assignment or practical project.

Page 5: REPORT 191 (NATED) REVISED SUBJECT SYLLABUS

3 OF 20

The semester mark is compiled as follows:

Tasks Type of assessment activity (the duration and proposed mark allocation can be increased but not reduced)

Scope of assessment

% Contribution to ICASS mark

1 Assignment or practical task Should cover at least

20% of the practical outcomes in the

syllabus.

20%

2 Test The duration and marks should align with the external exam paper/s, e.g. if the examination paper counts 200 marks for 3 hours, then the test should count 60-70 marks for 1 hour duration

At least 40 – 50% of the

syllabus content must be

covered in the test.

30%

3 Internal Examination The duration and marks should align with the external exam paper/s, e.g. if the examination paper counts 200 marks for 3 hours, then the test should count 120-140 marks for 2 hours’ duration

At least 70 – 80% of the

syllabus content must be

covered in the Internal

examination.

50%

TOTAL 100%

6.2 To gain entrance to the external examination, a candidate must obtain a

subminimum of 40% in the semester mark. If entrance to the examination is achieved, a semester mark, on a 40:60 basis, in combination with the external examination mark, will form part of the final (promotion) mark.

6.3 Semester marks obtained are valid for the two years following directly on the examination in which the original semester mark was initially used. After that, this mark is no longer valid. The student must thus register again for the same subject and obtain a new semester mark.

7. EXAMINATION 7.1 The examination paper will be compiled, moderated and marked externally. 7.2 The examination paper consists of practice-orientated questions and

aspects such as application, analysis and synthesis will feature in the compilation of accounts, statements and accounting-related calculations. Although comprehension questions could also be used, these will be limited as far as possible seeing that the examination papers are directly aimed at accounting related tasks as carried out in practice.

7.3 A three-hour paper totalling 200 marks will be set at the end of the semester. 8. PASS REQUIREMENTS 8.1 To pass Introductory Accounting, a candidate must obtain a final mark of

40% by addition of the semester mark and the examination mark in a 40:60 ratio, provided that a sub- minimum of 40% is obtained as a semester mark
