Assessment:

• The assessment strategy for the programme is designed to ensure that students achieve the overall aims and learning outcomes of the programme, as well as the learning outcomes for individual modules.
Assessment serves several functions. The obvious and primary function is to evaluate student achievement. However, assessment also serves to help students organize and develop their learning. Feedback from assessment serves an important educational function and can help students develop their skills and understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses.
• The types of assessment required fall into two general categories, formative and summative.
Formative assessments are activities that do not contribute to the overall module grade. They are however an integral part of the learning strategy for a module and students are required to complete them. They will be marked and students will receive feedback on their level of achievement. Summative assessments are those assessment activities for which the marks will contribute to the overall module grade. Students will also receive feedback on these assessments so that they will know what they have done well and where they can improve.
• Several different forms of assessment are employed on the programme.
For both formative and summative purposes, the major forms are reports, presentations and portfolios.

Teaching:

• Course is delivered through a range of learning and teaching methods including: lectures, seminars, workshops, practicals and tutorials.
• These are supported by online discussions and activities posted on the VLE.
• The dissertation is delivered via workshops, independent learning and tutor support; which may be face to face and through the VLE.
