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
Written assignment: essay on arts in the curriculum	Written assignment	2,4-8	By end of term or earlier as negotiated with module convener
Individual workshop and written assignment: planning and leading, and evaluating an arts workshop	Workshop and written assignment	1,3-6,9-10	By end of term or earlier as negotiated with module convener
