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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set exercise: Individual Needs Analysis in relation to Level 7 criteria | 3 hour | 8, 9 | Verbal (tutorial) and written action plans |

Each student to present your poster to peers, providing an explanation of their context, rationale for design of teaching strategies rooted in research and any initial findings. | Research poster and presentation equivalent to 1000 words. | 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8,9, 10 | Oral feedback from peers and tutor (face to face); feedback from peers and online tutor (distance). |

...and this table provides further details on the summative assessments for this module.
| Form of assessment | % of credit | Size of the assessment (eg length / duration) | ILOs assessed | Feedback method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written case study report | 100 | 5,000 words | 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10 | Written |
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 case study report | Written case study report (5000 words) | 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10 | 6 weeks |
