Assessment method

Throughout the course a full range of assessment techniques will be used. You could be assessed by practical assessments, assignments, briefs, essays, presentations (including group presentations), reports and portfolio building. Each module is formally assessed through, for example, essays, assignments or briefs, presentations, group presentations and portfolio building. This formal assessment will count towards your module mark and feedback is usually given within 20 working days following the submission of your formal submission of work. Additionally, some lecturers will provide informal feedback. It should be noted that feedback is part of the ongoing learning cycle which is not limited to written feedback. Other forms of feedback include one-to-one meetings with a personal tutor, dissertation and project supervision meetings, a lecturer responding to learner questions or responses during topic or situation discussions. Feedback is intended to help you learn and you are encouraged to discuss it with your module tutor.
