...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 assignment | 60 | 3000 words | 1, 3-12 | Written and grade |
Individual Presentation | 40 | 15 minute presentation + 5 minute question and answers (2,000 words equivalent) | 2-12 | Written and grade |
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 60% | Written assignment (3000 words) | 1, 3-12 | 6 weeks |
Individual Presentation 40% | 15 minute presentation (2,000 words equivalent) | 2-12 | 6 weeks |
