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 |
---|---|---|---|
Digital portfolio | Re-submission of digital portfolio (5,000 words) (70%) | 1-13 | 6 weeks |
Video blog | Resubmission of video blog (10 minues or 1000 words) | 1-13 | 6 weeks |
Reflective summary of contributions to online discussions | Essay (500 words) about one of the topics discussed in the module (10%) | 1-13 | 6 weeks |
Re-assessment notes
The assessment of contributions to online discussions will be re-assessed by the submission of a 500 word essay on a topic set by the tutor, capped at the mark of 50.
