ASSESSMENT COMPETENCIES

Introduction

What is moderation?

Moderation is a process of making judgements on quality and results of assessment with the purpose of confirming assessment judgements. It ensures that the assessment of any outcomes as described by the NQF standards and qualifications is fair, valid, and reliable and practicable.

The purpose of moderators is outlined in the Assessment standard operating principles for faculties (Source: Criteria and Guidelines for Assessment of NQF Registered Unit Standards and Qualifications).

• Are you aware of the responsibilities of moderators? (see UJ Assessment Policy)
• Are aware of the university's requirements regarding the moderation process?
• Please ensure that both your internal and external moderators complete the relevant moderator forms (See under resources)
