Progress Questions

Progress questions must be completed and returned to SAGMA, and a pass mark of 60% must be obtained to qualify for the examination. If students fail the progress questions, they will be required to re-register for the specific module.

SUBMISSION OF PROGRESS QUESTIONS

  • Progress question assignments should be e-mailed or couriered to SAGMA on or before the deadline date and should meet the following requirements.
    • Answers to progress questions must be scanned and e-mailed. Should students prefer to use an A4 Exercise Book, they are allowed to do so, provided that submissions are also scanned and e-mailed.
    • All e-mailed submissions must be a one-document submission in PDF format. If using courier services, please ensure that delivery is made to our Cape Town address and not to Pretoria.
    • The CoverSheet, provided on registration, must be attached as part of the document.
    • Only hand-drawn illustrations will be accepted, and all the sketches must be clear and answers readable. No photocopies of the sketches in the module books will be accepted.
    • Write only on the right-hand side of the book and leave ± 10 lines after each answer for comments by the tutor.
    • Answer all questions in the given order and specify each question number in the middle of the page and draw a horizontal line after each question. Ensure that the same numbering system and symbols are used throughout the answering paper in the exact format as used in the paper.
  • It remains the student’s responsibility to make sure that the document is formatted correctly and received by the Course Administrator.
  • Your answer to a question will depend on the marks allocated; e.g., a question worth 3 marks should have at least an answer of 3 lines.
  • Always keep a copy of your progress questions assignments for your records.
  • Posting of progress questions to the SAGMA postal address is not allowed.
  • Submissions received after the deadline will be returned unmarked.
  • Students are urged to answer all questions. If you don’t know the answer, make an educated attempt or contact the tutor directly should you require clarity on a question.  Tutors are under no obligation to supply model answers if questions are left unanswered.
  • Results will be communicated to students via WhatsApp and/or e-mailed to the student’s Training Office within three weeks from the examination date.
