Assessment method
In line with the Business School's commitment to practice-based education, a large part of the assessment will relate to the demonstration of your ability to undertake event planning, design and practice. We will want to see that you understand the theory and have developed critical thinking skills which help you evaluate the relevance of what you have learnt. All of this comes together in being able to demonstrate rigorous events practice for business. To assess this range of integration of theory and skills into sound practice, we use a range of methods. You will encounter many different kinds of assessment methods, with different levels of difficulties according to the specific year you are in. In the first year most of your assessments will be based on group work, individual oral and poster presentations; in the following year they are based on tests and written assignments (e.g. essays, case studies, report).
