In these ways, students will apply their knowledge and understanding and develop skills associated with observation, analysis, problem solving, reflection and critical evaluation.
In addition to developing the skills necessary to demonstrate understanding through written examinations and assignments, students will also acquire the skills to be assessed through, for example:
Oral presentations
Portfolio tasks
Practical assessments
Film footage analysis
Report writing

Case study.
This varied combination of assessments is designed to complement the teaching and learning strategies and support the philosophy of student‐centered learning.
