Re-assessment
Re-assessment takes place when the summative assessment has not been completed by the original deadline, and the student has been allowed to refer or defer it to a later date (this only happens following certain criteria and is always subject to exam board approval). For obvious reasons, re-assessments cannot be the same as the original assessment and so these alternatives are set. In cases where the form of assessment is the same, the content will nevertheless be different.
| Original form of assessment | Form of re-assessment | ILOs re-assessed | Timescale for re-assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written assignment (30%) | Written assignment | 1-7 | August/September reassessment period |
| Written assignment (40%) | Written assignment | 1-7 | August/September reassessment period |
| Written assignment (20%) | 1,500 word written assignment on the topic presented in class | 1-5,7 | August/September reassessment period |
| Class Participation (10%) | A viva voce of 15-20 minutes related to questions set out in the module outline. | 1-5,7 | August/September reassessment period |
Re-assessment notes
Where you have been referred/deferred for the scheduled presentation, you will be asked to write a 1500 word assignment in its place. This will constitute 20% of the final mark.
