Assessment method
Summative assessments are designed to best reflect practical relevance and to be authentic, while evidencing achievement of the learning outcomes. Formative assessments which carry no marks are used to assist students in preparing for summative assessments. This gives a measure of performance to inform you, us as staff, and potential employers about your progress and achievement. It can also help the learning process by highlighting areas of success and areas needing more attention. Assessment involves a blend of methods that are selected to suit the outcomes of each module and the course as a whole including: Written assignments such as reports, essays and posters Planning, conduct and reporting of project work Problem-based exercises based on real-world challenges Presentations – oral live and recorded Peer review Reflective practices
