Assessment method

Teaching methods include lectures and seminars, supplemented by occasional practical computer labs in applied Econometrics courses. Lectures are an effective way of conveying information and explaining ideas. They also explore the relevant issues in greater depth to reflect and further the development of students’ knowledge and understanding. Seminars are small-group sessions that are used for all taught modules. Students are pre-assigned a set of problems to complete before the class. During the class session the class tutor and students will go through the problems together. In the Research Project module, students are supervised by a member of academic staff with expertise in the area it concerns. In preparing the project, students have the opportunity to meet with the supervisor to explore the issues it concerns, to receive guidance on your research and reading, and to receive feedback on the work as it progresses. In addition, independent study forms an essential part in the development of knowledge and understanding. Finally, students are encouraged to attend consultation sessions with academic staff during office hours. We provide a range of formative and summative assessment exercises which are designed to enable the student to demonstrate and apply their knowledge and understanding. Methods of assessment include: Written examinations Mid-term tests Essays Exercises and problem sets Team projects Final part interim report and project Library skills exercise such as plagiarism knowledge test.
