How this Module is Assessed
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short piece of creative work in the form of reuse of online material and reflective commentary in preparation of summative creative piece | Image + 250-500 words | 1-8 | Written comments; oral feedback available upon request |
Summative Assessment
A summative assessment counts towards your mark for the module. The table below tells you what percentage of your mark will come from which type of assessment.
| Coursework | Written exams | Practical exams |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 0 |
...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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creative work of two elements: (1) a creative work; and (2) reflective commentary on the work | 50 | e.g., appropriation or reuse of online content and 1,000-word commentary assessing its legality | 1-8 | Written and oral (through the engaged critique method) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creative work and reflective commentary | Creative work and reflective commentary (e.g., appropriation or reuse of online content and 1,000-word commentary assessing its legality) | 1-8 | August/September reassessment period |
| Essay | Essay(48 hour turnaround, 2,000 word essay) | 1-8 | August/September reassessment period |
