Assessment method

To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. Assessment techniques vary from module to module to reflect relevant assessment approaches and the key learning points of each topic. Assessments on this course include: Written assignments reviewing the implications of major pieces of contemporary research for contemporary organisations Written assignments advising on and developing HR strategy and policy in specific organisation/sectoral contexts Two examinations (50% of each exam is based around a seen case study) Portfolio evidencing development A research proposal in preparation for the Masters-level dissertation The Masters-level dissertation There will be opportunities in workshops to discuss assignments, clarify requirements with the module tutor and discuss possible approaches to the work with your colleagues in the group. In the examined modules there will be discussion of approaches to examinations and a revision session at the end of the module. The case study is available two weeks prior to the examination on our virtual learning environment.
