• Mathematics
• Physical Science

With College SA, you can start studying whenever you want: there are no specific course starting dates since we offer distance learning. Please speak to our educational planners about your enrolment and study options.

For Physical Science and Mathematics, you will have to complete:

• Several Formative self-assessments (quizzes) with tutor support or discussion group interaction.
• Two (2) Formative Assessments for each subject
• One (1) Final Integrated Summative Assessment for each subject

Mark breakdown
Formative Assessment: Both formative assessments will count towards 30% of the final mark

Formative Self-Assessment: You will submit a simple “Logbook” of your academic progress that will count towards 10% of the final mark. The Logbook will serve as a summary of evidence of sessions with tutor or discussion group.

Final Integrated Summative Assessment: This will count towards 60% of the final mark.

To complete the programme successfully: You must achieve at least 50% for each Formative Self-Assessment, and at least 60% in the Final Integrated Summative Assessment component, and an overall mark of 60% in order to achieve a pass in any individual course and programme in total.
