5.      INSTITUTIONAL BODIES/CENTRES THAT OFFER ASSISTANCE

5.1 HIV/AIDS Assistance

In the interests of your own health and safety, you need to be aware of the dangers
associated with HIV/AIDS. As much as you may say “It will not happen to me” or “I
cannot become infected with HIV/AIDS whilst executing my normal work
responsibilities”, the potential for this happening always exists. The truth of the matter
is that YOU CAN BECOME INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS WHILST AT THE
WORKPLACE. Your workplace is either during your studies at the University or
during your Work-integrated Learning period.

In order to understand this statement we need to look at the mode of transmission of
the virus and relate it to encounters in the workplace. The main modes of
transmission are:
     Unprotected sexual contact;
     Shared or second-hand hypodermic needles;
     Contamination of open wounds or sores with infected body fluids such as
       blood.

Situations at the workplace possibly leading to infection with the virus:
     During the execution of duties at work you could encounter accidents
        that involve bleeding or contact with other body fluids. Should you rush
        to the assistance of a fellow colleague that was injured, your safety is of
        utmost importance and you have to protect yourself from becoming
        infected. This can be achieved by using the proper protective attire
        (latex gloves for example) to protect yourself from direct contact with
        body fluids (blood).
     On the other hand, accidental contact with a possible source of the
        virus is another concern. You (or your colleague) may inadvertently
        puncture your skin with an instrument that has been in contact with
        infected body fluid (blood). This type of event must be reported to your
        manager/supervisor/lecturer immediately in order for speedy and
        appropriate action to be taken.

What do you do if you suspect that you have been in contact with fluids containing
the virus?
     Inform your manager/supervisor/lecturer or company nurse/doctor
        immediately;
     If you are doing in-service training, inform the University monitor assigned to
        you;
     Attend the necessary HIV/AIDS counselling provided by the employer or the
        University.

14.     POLICY WITH         RESPECT       TO    PUNCTUALITY         FOR      WRITTEN
        ASSESSMENTS

Please see Student Guide, p. 10

15.     POLICY WITH RESPECT TO MISSED ASSESSMENTS - POSTPONED
        ASSESSMENTS

Where a student missed an assessment for a valid reason (see point 7 under Policy
with respect to Continuous Assessment), a special assessment (a.k.a. a
Postponed Assessment) will be offered at a date and time suitable to both the
lecturer and student, asap after the original assessment. In the case of personal
illness or injury, a valid medical certificate needs to be submitted to the subject
lecturer who will verify the validity of this document. The postponed assessment for
the Final assessment (FISA) will be scheduled on the first day of the week after all
the FISAs. If a student missed two FISAs due to illness/death in the immediate
family, they may have to write two postponed assessments on the same day. The
four reassessments will then start on the day following the last pair of postponed
assessments. Students who wrote the postponed assessment for the FISA have to
sign an indemnity form stating that they understand that their mark for that
assessment will not be available to inform the decision of whether they do or do not
qualify for the re-assessment. The onus is, therefore, on them to decide whether or
not to write the re-assessment. Should the student pass or not qualify, the re-
assessment script would be considered cancelled and not marked.

16.     ASSESSMENTS: FURTHER INFORMATION

16. 1 Contribution of assessments towards final mark
ALL assessments (written tests, assignments, practicals, participation, project, etc.)
WILL count towards a final mark. You must obtain a final mark of 50% to pass the
subject.

16. 2 Final assessment
The FINAL ASSESSMENT is open to anyone and no minimum performance mark is
required to be permitted to write this assessment.

You will be writing a 3 hour/180 mark question paper for both your Final
assessment (compulsory) and Re-assessment (conditions stipulated in 16.3
below). These assessments will cover a minimum of 75% of the work covered
during the semester. The lecturer may exclude up to 25% of previously
assessed work, or work assessed during the practical assessment.

16. 3 Re-Assessment
There will be no re-assessments for candidates who have obtained the
required 50% to pass the course.

The RE-ASSESSMENT will only be offered to you if you failed to obtain an average
of 50% when the marks of all your assessments and assignments and/or practicals
have been computed based on a pre-determined formula that is published in this
Learning Guide (see Assessment dates and weights); However, you will only be
allowed to write the RE-ASSESSMENT if you obtained a minimum of 45%
OVERALL. PLEASE NOTE: if you wrote the RE-ASSESSMENT, the maximum

Version 1

marks that will be allocated for this assessment will be that score that gives
you a final total (or pass mark) of 50%.
        The FINAL and RE-ASSESSMENTS will cover all of the theory (and some
practical work as may be indicated by your lecturer) covered during the semester. It
will count approximately 180 marks and the duration will be 3 hours.
        Please note that, should you "be allowed" to write the RE-ASSESSMENT, the
mark obtained will REPLACE the mark of your FINAL assessment. In other words, it
will then be factored into the calculation of your final mark (as explained in the
example below) - it will not be a "blanket" mark replacing the final mark computed
after writing the FINAL ASSESSMENT.


16.4 Assessment dates and weights (contribution to final mark)

For Food Analysis, you will be evaluated according to the following protocol:

Assessment 1 = 20%; Assessment 2 = 20%; Assessment 3 = 40%; Practical
Attendance and Reports = 10%; Assignments (one) = 10%.

Table 1 Dates and allocation of weights for written assessments, practicals and
assignments

Assessment Type                             Date               Contribution to Final Mark
                                                                          (%)
Written assessment 1              See assessment timetable                 20
Written assessment 2              See assessment timetable                 20
Written assessment 3 (FINAL)      See assessment timetable                 40
Written assessment 4 (Re-             To be announced                      na
assessment       / Posponed
Assessment)
Assignment                            To be announced                       10
Practical reports                     To be announced                       10

Assignments or reports handed in after the due date will incur a penalty of 10%
per week or part thereof. The pass mark for all assessments is 50%. The marks
obtained for all the above assessments will be combined to obtain the final
mark. The final mark must be a minimum of 50%. An overall pass mark of 75%
and above will be awarded a Distinction.

16.5 Assessment management
Marked (graded) assessments or answer scripts will be handed back to students for
revision and feedback. Students must then sign the marked assessment and hand it
back to the lecturer for moderation. A percentage of 60% off all written assessments
must be moderated. All assessments or answer scripts are kept on file for a period
of 3 years for audit purposes, and therefore students are not allowed to keep their
answer scripts. Assessment marks will be publicly posted on the notice boards for
the student to evaluate his/her progress.

Assessment results will be given to you not more than 7 days after the assessment
date. Practical reports and assignments will be marked within 7 days after the date of
submission. If the responsible lecturer/tutor defaults in this regard, you must discuss
the matter with them first. If the issue is not resolved, you may report it to the HoD.

17.      POLICY CONCERNING PLAGIARISM

Copying during a written assessment, or copying verbatim directly from a text book or
Journal or the Internet (in the case of assignments and reports), is not allowed. Stiff
penalties will be applied where students are found guilty of this type of misconduct:

1. All reports and assignments must be submitted electronically. These will be
   scrutinised using Turnitin® which is software designed to discover plagiarism
2. Written assessments: The University Disciplinary Committee, under the Judicial
   Officer, will consider cases of this nature at the discretion of the head of
   department;
3. Assignments and reports: Copying from texts and journals, or copying amongst
   fellow students in the case of assignments and reports, will not be tolerated.
   Penalties in this regard will be determined at the discretion of the head of
   department. Generally, this will be 20% for verbatim copying and, where group
   duplication and copying has occurred, the total mark will be distributed equally
   among offenders.

18.      EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES (SAQA)

21.     SUBJECT OVERVIEW

Food Analysis 4 covers aspects of analysis in three different areas. The first section
looks at traceability, sample plans, sampling and sample preparation. The second
covers an overall view of analytical techniques i.e. official methods prescribed for the
food industry as well as other techniques associated with general biological analyses.
The intention of this is to ensure that the analyst has a good working knowledge of
these methods, their specific uses and how to employ them in specific situations. The
third section covers specific techniques such as chromatography, polymerase chain
reaction, electrophoresis, electrochemical techniques, near-infrared spectroscopy
and scanning electron microscopy.

guided by the lecturer concerned. The lecturer must be seen as a “facilitator of
learning” rather than a conveyor of information. This guide aims to assist the learning
process to be student centred i.e. the guide will allow you to study on your own to a
large extent. Preparation in advance for classes is also made possible. The guide
will:
 Pace you through the learning material (see schedule below);
 Point you to good resource material (see Requirements above as well as table
     below);
 Allow you to check whether you have completed the work satisfactorily (see
     Assessment Criteria in table below as well as tutorials and past question papers).

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND CLASSES AND
PRACTICALS!! On the contrary, you MUST attend classes and practicals for
guidance regarding depth of content as well as case studies with respect to content.
In addition, you must also use this guide to prepare for appropriate classes and
practicals. As mentioned previously, a good attendance record will determine your
success in this subject.

To use: Carry out the tasks as listed for each section and then test yourself with the
assessment criteria and tutorials. If you have any queries, please refer to your
lecturer during class time.

  • 3. 3 FOOD ANALYSIS 4 – 2009 1. HOW TO USE THIS LEARNING GUIDE This Learning Guide supplies information about the lecturer/s of this subject, the subject content, assessment criteria, assessment dates and deadlines for submission of assignments and practicals, the various policies of the Department of Food Technology, as well as other significant information that can support the student. 2. SUBJECT LECTURER DETAILS Name: Mr A Obilana Room No: Food Technology Building Contact Details: Telephone: 021-9538748 Fax: 021-9596095 Cellular telephone: E-mail: obilanaa@cput.ac.za Consultation: Open Door Venues: Theory classes: Classroom 2 Practicals: Chemistry & Research lab 3. QUALIFICATION NAME B. TECH. FOOD TECHNOLOGY (BTECFT) at NQF Level 7 (120 credits at NQF 7; 360 credits at NQF 6) 4. PURPOSE OF THE QUALIFICATION The qualifying learner will be able to apply and integrate advanced knowledge and skills of Food Technology in the food manufacturing and associated industries, including the environments of food production, food quality assurance and food product development for safe, cost-efficient and cost-effective food industry. They will also integrate laboratory tests and knowledge of foods to conduct research. Management skills are developed with a view to encourage entrepreneurial development and business management. Compliance with statutory requirements for quality, ethics and safety underpin all exit levels. 5. INSTITUTIONAL BODIES/CENTRES THAT OFFER ASSISTANCE 5.1 HIV/AIDS Assistance In the interests of your own health and safety, you need to be aware of the dangers associated with HIV/AIDS. As much as you may say “It will not happen to me” or “I cannot become infected with HIV/AIDS whilst executing my normal work responsibilities”, the potential for this happening always exists. The truth of the matter is that YOU CAN BECOME INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS WHILST AT THE WORKPLACE. Your workplace is either during your studies at the University or during your Work-integrated Learning period. Version 1 Revision No. 2.1 Approved: Last updated: 18 January 2011
  • 4. 4 In order to understand this statement we need to look at the mode of transmission of the virus and relate it to encounters in the workplace. The main modes of transmission are:  Unprotected sexual contact;  Shared or second-hand hypodermic needles;  Contamination of open wounds or sores with infected body fluids such as blood. Situations at the workplace possibly leading to infection with the virus:  During the execution of duties at work you could encounter accidents that involve bleeding or contact with other body fluids. Should you rush to the assistance of a fellow colleague that was injured, your safety is of utmost importance and you have to protect yourself from becoming infected. This can be achieved by using the proper protective attire (latex gloves for example) to protect yourself from direct contact with body fluids (blood).  On the other hand, accidental contact with a possible source of the virus is another concern. You (or your colleague) may inadvertently puncture your skin with an instrument that has been in contact with infected body fluid (blood). This type of event must be reported to your manager/supervisor/lecturer immediately in order for speedy and appropriate action to be taken. What do you do if you suspect that you have been in contact with fluids containing the virus?  Inform your manager/supervisor/lecturer or company nurse/doctor immediately;  If you are doing in-service training, inform the University monitor assigned to you;  Attend the necessary HIV/AIDS counselling provided by the employer or the University. 5.2 Language/Writing Centre Workshops on writing skills are offered by the Fundani Centre of Higher Education Development at CPUT: Contact persons: Prof. Terry Volbrecht Dr. James Garraway volbrechtt@cput.ac.za garrawayj@cput.ac.za 021 460 3378 021 959 6557 5.3 Other important numbers for assistance  Clinic – Dr Jardine X6403  Arts & Culture – Mr. Eugene Malan  HIV/AIDS Unit – Mr. Ashraf X6041 Mohammed X4252/3  Student Housing – Ms. Eveleen  Fundani – Ms. Denise February Cloete X6443Sports Administrator – X6214 Mr. Sakkie Booysen X6319 Version 1 Revision No. 2.1 Approved: Last updated: 18 January 2011

RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR ACADEMIC EXCLUSIONS AND APPEALS Please see Student Guide, p. 10 10. POLICY WITH RESPECT TO CLASS ATTENDANCE Please see Student Guide, p. 8 11. POLICY WITH RESPECT TO PRACTICAL ATTENDANCE AND PRACTICAL REPORTS Please see Student Guide, p. 8 12.

POLICY WITH RESPECT TO CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT Please see Student Guide, p. 8 Version 1 Revision No. 2.1 Approved: Last updated: 18 January 2011
  • 6. 6 14. POLICY WITH RESPECT TO PUNCTUALITY FOR WRITTEN ASSESSMENTS Please see Student Guide, p. 10 15. POLICY WITH RESPECT TO MISSED ASSESSMENTS - POSTPONED ASSESSMENTS Where a student missed an assessment for a valid reason (see point 7 under Policy with respect to Continuous Assessment), a special assessment (a.k.a. a Postponed Assessment) will be offered at a date and time suitable to both the lecturer and student, asap after the original assessment. In the case of personal illness or injury, a valid medical certificate needs to be submitted to the subject lecturer who will verify the validity of this document. The postponed assessment for the Final assessment (FISA) will be scheduled on the first day of the week after all the FISAs. If a student missed two FISAs due to illness/death in the immediate family, they may have to write two postponed assessments on the same day. The four reassessments will then start on the day following the last pair of postponed assessments. Students who wrote the postponed assessment for the FISA have to sign an indemnity form stating that they understand that their mark for that assessment will not be available to inform the decision of whether they do or do not qualify for the re-assessment. The onus is, therefore, on them to decide whether or not to write the re-assessment. Should the student pass or not qualify, the re- assessment script would be considered cancelled and not marked. 16. ASSESSMENTS: FURTHER INFORMATION 16. 1 Contribution of assessments towards final mark ALL assessments (written tests, assignments, practicals, participation, project, etc.) WILL count towards a final mark. You must obtain a final mark of 50% to pass the subject. 16. 2 Final assessment The FINAL ASSESSMENT is open to anyone and no minimum performance mark is required to be permitted to write this assessment. You will be writing a 3 hour/180 mark question paper for both your Final assessment (compulsory) and Re-assessment (conditions stipulated in 16.3 below). These assessments will cover a minimum of 75% of the work covered during the semester. The lecturer may exclude up to 25% of previously assessed work, or work assessed during the practical assessment. 16. 3 Re-Assessment There will be no re-assessments for candidates who have obtained the required 50% to pass the course. The RE-ASSESSMENT will only be offered to you if you failed to obtain an average of 50% when the marks of all your assessments and assignments and/or practicals have been computed based on a pre-determined formula that is published in this Learning Guide (see Assessment dates and weights); However, you will only be allowed to write the RE-ASSESSMENT if you obtained a minimum of 45% OVERALL. PLEASE NOTE: if you wrote the RE-ASSESSMENT, the maximum Version 1 Revision No. 2.1 Approved: Last updated: 18 January 2011
  • 7. 7 marks that will be allocated for this assessment will be that score that gives you a final total (or pass mark) of 50%. The FINAL and RE-ASSESSMENTS will cover all of the theory (and some practical work as may be indicated by your lecturer) covered during the semester. It will count approximately 180 marks and the duration will be 3 hours. Please note that, should you "be allowed" to write the RE-ASSESSMENT, the mark obtained will REPLACE the mark of your FINAL assessment. In other words, it will then be factored into the calculation of your final mark (as explained in the example below) - it will not be a "blanket" mark replacing the final mark computed after writing the FINAL ASSESSMENT. 16.4 Assessment dates and weights (contribution to final mark) For Food Analysis, you will be evaluated according to the following protocol: Assessment 1 = 20%; Assessment 2 = 20%; Assessment 3 = 40%; Practical Attendance and Reports = 10%; Assignments (one) = 10%. Table 1 Dates and allocation of weights for written assessments, practicals and assignments Assessment Type Date Contribution to Final Mark (%) Written assessment 1 See assessment timetable 20 Written assessment 2 See assessment timetable 20 Written assessment 3 (FINAL) See assessment timetable 40 Written assessment 4 (Re- To be announced na assessment / Posponed Assessment) Assignment To be announced 10 Practical reports To be announced 10 Assignments or reports handed in after the due date will incur a penalty of 10% per week or part thereof. The pass mark for all assessments is 50%. The marks obtained for all the above assessments will be combined to obtain the final mark. The final mark must be a minimum of 50%. An overall pass mark of 75% and above will be awarded a Distinction. 16.5 Assessment management Marked (graded) assessments or answer scripts will be handed back to students for revision and feedback. Students must then sign the marked assessment and hand it back to the lecturer for moderation. A percentage of 60% off all written assessments must be moderated. All assessments or answer scripts are kept on file for a period of 3 years for audit purposes, and therefore students are not allowed to keep their answer scripts. Assessment marks will be publicly posted on the notice boards for the student to evaluate his/her progress. Assessment results will be given to you not more than 7 days after the assessment date. Practical reports and assignments will be marked within 7 days after the date of submission. If the responsible lecturer/tutor defaults in this regard, you must discuss the matter with them first. If the issue is not resolved, you may report it to the HoD. Version 1 Revision No. 2.1 Approved: Last updated: 18 January 2011
  • 8. 8 17. POLICY CONCERNING PLAGIARISM Copying during a written assessment, or copying verbatim directly from a text book or Journal or the Internet (in the case of assignments and reports), is not allowed. Stiff penalties will be applied where students are found guilty of this type of misconduct: 1. All reports and assignments must be submitted electronically. These will be scrutinised using Turnitin® which is software designed to discover plagiarism 2. Written assessments: The University Disciplinary Committee, under the Judicial Officer, will consider cases of this nature at the discretion of the head of department; 3. Assignments and reports: Copying from texts and journals, or copying amongst fellow students in the case of assignments and reports, will not be tolerated. Penalties in this regard will be determined at the discretion of the head of department. Generally, this will be 20% for verbatim copying and, where group duplication and copying has occurred, the total mark will be distributed equally among offenders. 18. EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES (SAQA) 1. The learner will be competent to supervise or manage unit processes and operations in accordance with basic engineering principles in food manufacturing and associated industries and recognise changes in food characteristics during and after processing. 2. To supervise, implement and monitor Quality Assurance programmes. 3. Research and develop foods using appropriate technologies. 4. To investigate the interaction of food components / ingredients and their effects. 5. Supervise and specify packaging, handling and storage of foods. 6. Communicate, manage and plan effectively. 7. Apply relevant procedures of labour legislation as applied to the Food Industry. 8. Product initiation and marketing. 19. CRITICAL CROSS-FIELD OUTCOMES 1. Communicate effectively 2. Identify and solve problems 3. Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information 4. Work in teams 5. Maintain effective working relationships 6. Use of Science and Technology 20. CRITICAL OUTCOMES Identifying and solving problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical and creative thinking have been made in food processing and product development at a supervisory or managerial level 1. Working effectively with others as a member of the team, group, organisation, community in a food production and food development environment, ensuring appropriate safety levels are applied 2. Organising, analysing and critically evaluating information in food production and product development Version 1 Revision No. 2.1 Approved: Last updated: 18 January 2011
  • 9. 9 3. Communicating and leading effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills in the modes of oral and/or written persuasion in food production and product development at a supervisory or managerial level 21. SUBJECT OVERVIEW Food Analysis 4 covers aspects of analysis in three different areas. The first section looks at traceability, sample plans, sampling and sample preparation. The second covers an overall view of analytical techniques i.e. official methods prescribed for the food industry as well as other techniques associated with general biological analyses. The intention of this is to ensure that the analyst has a good working knowledge of these methods, their specific uses and how to employ them in specific situations. The third section covers specific techniques such as chromatography, polymerase chain reaction, electrophoresis, electrochemical techniques, near-infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. 22.

  • 10. 10 23. SCHEDULE OF LEARNING The learning process, under the banner of Outcomes-based Education (OBE), will be guided by the lecturer concerned. The lecturer must be seen as a “facilitator of learning” rather than a conveyor of information. This guide aims to assist the learning process to be student centred i.e. the guide will allow you to study on your own to a large extent. Preparation in advance for classes is also made possible. The guide will:  Pace you through the learning material (see schedule below);  Point you to good resource material (see Requirements above as well as table below);  Allow you to check whether you have completed the work satisfactorily (see Assessment Criteria in table below as well as tutorials and past question papers). THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND CLASSES AND PRACTICALS!! On the contrary, you MUST attend classes and practicals for guidance regarding depth of content as well as case studies with respect to content. In addition, you must also use this guide to prepare for appropriate classes and practicals. As mentioned previously, a good attendance record will determine your success in this subject. To use: Carry out the tasks as listed for each section and then test yourself with the assessment criteria and tutorials. If you have any queries, please refer to your lecturer during class time.
