The meaning and purpose of Humak University of Applied Sciences’ (Humak) handbook of assessment is to bring forward the starting points of assessment, the different assessment procedures of study modules, and the request for rectification on assessments. Studies of language and interpretation are highlighted separately on assessment procedures since their assessment scale differs from those of other study units.
Assessment always relates to objectives and how they are reached. Assessment refers to comparing set goals to achieved results. Assessment is always dependent on a specific context and thus the purpose and meaning are situationally specified.
The aim of this handbook is to create consistent assessment procedures to maintain high quality assessments and to ensure fairness and objectivity.
The instructions in the handbook will be applied to all training and degree programmes offered by Humak. The handbook sets out the possible exceptions and specific guidelines for the assessment in the various training and degree programmes at Humak.
