Assessment method
Students registering can choose to this programme as full-time or part-time, in-person or online. The programme will be delivered via hybrid teaching technology that allows in-person students attending a lecture, seminar, or workshop as normal in a classroom, while online students join virtually from home using tools like Teams or Zoom, engage in synchronous learning. This teaching mode maximises interaction among students regardless of study modes. There are 2-3 laboratory sessions within specific modules. Online students will receive asynchronous laboratory sessions via Moodle (our online learning platform at City) and will be provided hand-out materials with illustrated pictures and videos to consolidate their learning. Drop-in sessions will be scheduled to discuss any queries arising from these sessions. Both study modes compromise of self-directed study in your own time, using reading lists, engaging Forum discussions on Moodle, and other resources (teaching materials, videos, trainings, journal clubs, nutrition society membership etc.) Our diverse assessments fit different learning styles, including formative assessment (quizzes or tests; engaging forums; taking specific training course, tasks shared and discussed with peers etc.) and summative assessment (exam, essay, case study, oral presentation, secondary data analysis, project dissertation).
