How this Module is Assessed

Formative Assessment
A formative assessment is designed to give you feedback on your understanding of the module content but it will not count towards your mark for the module.
| Form of assessment | Size of the assessment (eg length / duration) | ILOs assessed | Feedback method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formative statistical exercises in class | 6 exercises (about 15 minutes each) | 1-6 | Peer and tutor verbal feedback |
Summative Assessment
A summative assessment counts towards your mark for the module. The table below tells you what percentage of your mark will come from which type of 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 short data analysis assignments to be submitted on Github Classroom | 50 | Data analysis exercises, about 500 words each assignment | 1-6 | Written feedback provided on Github |
| Final statistical report | 50 | 2000 words | 1-6 | Written feedback |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Final statistical report | Statistical report (2000 words) | 1-6 | August / September reassessment period |
| 5 short data analysis assignments | 5 short data analysis assignments | 1-6 | August / September reassessment period |
