Assessment method
The evaluation takes the form of formative and summative assessments. Formative assessments enable students to gauge their learning and development during the course of each module and to prepare them for summative assessment. Formative assessments vary from module to module and include peer and tutor reviews and feedback on the development of written work both in class and electronically online. The learning is experientially driven and enquiry-led, with opportunities to review the assimilation of knowledge, critical skills and conceptualisations. Formative assessment is conducted via a range of methods such as reflective reviews, blogs, and face-to-face and online discussion groups.
