Indicative Syllabus
|
|
The INTRA assessment is graded simply as a pass or fail. The assessment is based on three components:
1. Continuous assessment by an industrial tutor
2. Assessment by an academic tutor
3. Formal written report
The INTRA report is submitted via the Office for Industrial and Business Relations, at the conclusion of the INTRA placement, and is assessed by the academic tutor. It is graded as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. In the case of an unsatisfactory grading, an amended report may be resubmitted, at the discretion of the Office for Industrial and Business Relations. The student must achieve a satisfactory grading on the report in order to pass INTRA and be awarded credit.
