8) GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME:
This curriculum has been drawn in course units. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National
Policy on Education which recommends the drawing of curricula in semester course units so as to
enable a student who so wishes, to transfer the credit units already completed in an institution to
another of the same standard.
5As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the
institutions and industry, the curriculum content has been written in behavioural objectives, so that it is
clear to all stakeholders, the expected competencies of the diplomates of the programme. There is a
slight departure in the presentation of the performance-based curriculum, which requires that the
conditions under which the performances are to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels
of performance be stated. It is a deliberate attempt to involve the staff of the department teaching the
programme to produce their own curriculum, stating the conditions existing in their institution under
which the performance can take place, and follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptable
level of performance. The Academic Board of the institution may submit the curriculum so produced
by the department for vetting and approval. The purpose of this is to encourage the institutions to
establish a solid internal evaluation system, which can ensure maximum standard and quality of
education in the programmes offered throughout the polytechnic system.
The teaching of the theory and practical work should be integrated as much as possible. Practical
exercises, especially in the professional courses should not be taught in isolation from the theory.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
In every course, continuous assessment shall constitute 30% while semester examination shall
constitute 70% of the total marks obtainable.
