Teaching and Assessment

How Students Will Learn

Formative assessment provides an opportunity for students to receive feedback on work as part of their learning but does not have marks awarded that contribute to the final module mark. The formative piece is a reflection of students' own role in a change in practice.

How Students Will Be Assessed

The summative assessment is a written assignment of 2,500 words, which provides the opportunity to demonstrate that students have met the learning outcomes for the module.
