Tutors are not obliged to accept coursework’s submitted after the stipulated date nor to grant extensions. Late submission will automatically be subjected to reduction of one mark a day for the first 2 weeks of delay, for submission after a fortnight, an assignment will only receive 50% if it satisfies the examiner.

Some students who involve themselves in examination malpractices e.g. cheating, smuggling in notes, etc will be victimised. All students are strongly warned that cheating or attempting to cheat in Africa population institute Examinations may lead to dismissal from the Institute. Please note that course works, research or project assignments are also part of API Examinations.

A student who has not attended up to 60% of the instruction time may be denied to sit period end examinations. Cases of impersonation, falsification of documents or giving false/incomplete information whenever discovered either at registration or afterwards, will lead to automatic cancellation of admission, revocation of awards where applicable and prosecution in the courts of laws.

Course Duration, Assessment and Grading System

The course takes three months. Assessment tests and course work are done in the middle of the term and contribute 40% towards the final grade. The final exam is done at the end of the months and contributes 60%, to the total marks which is 100%. The final grades are streamlined as follows.

Grades Equivalent Grade
A 80 – 100 Exceptional Work of distinguished quality which is based on a very extensive
5.0 reading and which demonstrates an authoritative grasp of the

the assessed task. There is clear evidence of originality of thought and
the ability to synthesize materials, think analytically and to synthesize
material effectively.
B+ 75-79 Excellent Work which clearly demonstrates all the qualities of “B” but which
4.5 reveals greater insight and more originally.
B 70-74 Very Good Work which demonstrates and above average level of understanding
4.0 of concepts, methodology and content appropriate of the subject and
which draws on a wide range of referenced resources. There is clear
evidence of critical judgment in selecting, ordering and analyzing
content. Demonstrates some ability to synthesize material and to
construct responses which reveal insight and may offer some
occasional originality

3.5 critical judgment is less developed and there is less insight and
originality.

original insight. There will be no serious omissions or irrelevancies
