Assessment method
The assessment strategy for students undertaking the Level 6 (Top-Up) programme online also takes into account the different learning needs of online students. The following principles also inform our approach: • To include a range of assessment types, with these being viewed holistically, within and across a programme structure • To ensure that at the very beginning of a module students are made clearly aware of the specific, assessed, activities or online participation that will be required of you and of the assessment criteria involved • To ensure that sufficient time is allowed within modules where there are multiple assessment types for students to grasp the different approaches to assessment. Assessments for all modules have been designed to be inclusive for all students.
