|---|---|---|---|
| Concept map | 750 word equivalent | 2, 5, 7, 10 | Written feedback |

...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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written essay (2,000 words) | Written essay (2000 words) | 1-2, 4-10 | August/September reassessment period |
| Written Essay (2,000 words) | Case study (2,000 words) | 1, 3-8,10 | August/September reassessment period |
Re-assessment notes
Two assessments are required for this module. Where you have been referred/deferred in the written essay and case study you will be required to resubmit these assignments. If you are successful on referral, your overall module mark will be capped at 50%; deferred marks are not capped.
