How this Module is Assessed
In the tables below, you will see reference to 'ILO's. An ILO is an Intended Learning Outcome - see Aims and Learning Outcomes for details of the ILOs for this module.
Formative Assessment

|---|---|---|---|

| Individual presentation | 5 minutes | 1-9 | Verbal |
Summative Assessment

| Coursework | Written exams | Practical exams |

...and this table provides further details on the summative assessments for this module.
| Form of assessment | % of credit | Size of the assessment (eg length / duration) | ILOs assessed | Feedback method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essay | 80 | 3500 words | 1-9 | Verbal and written comments on review |
| Seminar participation | 20 | Seminar self-reflective report - 1000 words | 1-9 | Verbal and written comments on review |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essay | Essay (3500 words) | 1-9 | August / September re-assessment period |
| Seminar paricipation | One to one viva (for those with mitigating circumstances) | 1-9 | End of term 2 |
