How this Module is Assessed
In the tables below, you will see reference to 'ILO's. An ILO is an Intended Learning Outcome - see Aims and Learning Outcomes for details of the ILOs for this module.
Formative Assessment
A formative assessment is designed to give you feedback on your understanding of the module content but it will not count towards your mark for the module.
| Form of assessment | Size of the assessment (eg length / duration) | ILOs assessed | Feedback method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Participation in student-led group discussions | 6 hours | 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10 | Verbal feedback from MA tutors and peers |
| Participation in a group blog | 20 hours | 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | Peer-assessed (via postings on ELE and/or blog on The Den (Anthrozoology group on Exeter's social networking site) and written feedback on the ELE discussion forums. |
Summative Assessment

...and this table provides further details on the summative assessments for this module.

Re-assessment
Re-assessment takes place when the summative assessment has not been completed by the original deadline, and the student has been allowed to refer or defer it to a later date (this only happens following certain criteria and is always subject to exam board approval). For obvious reasons, re-assessments cannot be the same as the original assessment and so these alternatives are set. In cases where the form of assessment is the same, the content will nevertheless be different.
| Original form of assessment | Form of re-assessment | ILOs re-assessed | Timescale for re-assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | Portfolio | 1-9 | August/September reassessment period |
