Assessment Information
The module is assessed on an A-F scale using a combination of essays and practical tasks.
Course members will demonstrate their ability to use, apply and evaluate selected tools and techniques encountered in the module by an assignment equivalent to 5000 words. The assessment will evaluate the candidate's understanding of the context of the module and will be assessed against the five learning outcomes. The assessment will require candidates to have a theoretical understanding of the issues supported by practical understanding that is derived from their own professional context. In order to demonstrate an understanding of practical skills, the assignment will be constructed to enable candidates to submit an assignment which may be in two parts one of which concentrates on practical skills.
The assignment will be accompanied by a short portfolio of at activities undertaken during the module. The portfolio will represent 30% of the total mark. |
