Assessment method
Assessments are designed to meet the programme and module learning outcomes and are both formative and summative. The formative assessments include the preparation and feedback from teaching sessions (e.g. lectures, seminars, workshops and presentations). Summative assessment that contributes to the grade, may include portfolios, artefacts, group work/studies, presentations (video, oral, poster) and reflective assignments. Quizzes and small scale class exercises will be used to develop confidence in the first 2-3 weeks, and will then be optional for the remainder of a unit. The aim of this formative assessment is to allow a safe-environment to learn which does not impact negatively on student performance.
