Assessment method
Your assessment comprises two components: Continuous assessment (10%): You will complete an online test lasting 30 minutes.Case study (90%): You will write a 2000-word case study assignment. After submitting a formative case study, you will receive individual written feedback within four weeks. Final summative marks will be released within four weeks of submission. Both assessments are designed to evaluate your knowledge and ability to critically appraise information, argue logically, implement evidence-based management of auditory conditions and communicate effectively. The formative case study allows you to receive feedback on a fully completed piece of work, providing guidance on how to meet the assignment outcomes.
