The meeting recommended options for reducing demands of Internal Assessment (IA) in several subjects. 257. The current IA should be retained for technical and vocational subjects - Food and Nutrition, Art and Design, Electrical and Electronic Technology and Geometrical and Mechanical Engineering Drawing. 258. In the Sciences, the requirements for the project should be removed since practical exercises are sufficient to measure the scientific skills identified. 259. In those subjects where there are several different types of assessment, changes should be made so that students do only one type of assessment. The IA could span any modules and the demands should take into account the duration of the school year. 26 Caribbean Examinations Council Annual Report 2004 Caribbean Examinations Council Annual Report 2004 25 260. For subjects in which the same skills are assessed in Unit 1 and Unit 2, for example, Literatures in English, History CERTIFICATE IN BUSINESS STUDIES and Sociology, students should be required to do the IA in the first Unit taken. The student may then opt to carry forward the IA score (if it is more than 50 percent) or do the IA for the second Unit being taken. 268. From May/June 2004 CXC will be awarding a Certificate in Business Studies, based on examinations in a cluster 261.
