Assessment is by mixture of
Assignments
and Examinations for each course. Assessment
is
designed to measure student's understanding of the materials, and to test
the application of the principles learned to real-life situations. Our
Course Learning Guides
provide
information on course learning topics, reading
assignments, case analysis, problem solving,
and
discussions with assigned instructors
Course Load
Students are encouraged
to study one course at a time and progress through their
Academic program at the minimum rate of one course.
Individual course is designed
to
be completed within six (6) weeks, however, distance learning students are allowed to proceed at
their own pace -
student may request additional courses at one time. Research
proposals may be submitted when the student has satisfactorily completed half of
the program requirements for the selected program.
Assignment and Examination
Students
are asked to write responses to assignment questions from assigned reading and
reliable materials. This is an opportunity for students to engage the
material and consider how concepts might be applied in real-world
situations. All responses must be in students’ own words and should be
thoroughly comprehensive and insightful with appropriate factual examples
Proctor Examination

integrity of matriculated student, RCST requires distance learning students
to complete Final Examinations under the supervision of an Approved Proctor
-

Proctor is a respected and impartial individual
that will monitor
the exams
and ensure that the student
