...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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Examination 1 | Examination 1 (90 minutes) | 1,2,3,4,7,9 | August/September assessment period |
| Examination 2 | Examination 2 (90 minutes) | 1,2,3,4,7,9 | August/September assessment period |
| Introductions to readings | 10 minute presentations | 1-8 | TBA with students |
| Contributions to discussions | 1000 word comment-piece on selected seminar themes | 1,2,3,4,7,9 | August/September assessment period |
Re-assessment notes
When students’ ability to participate in seminars is severely impaired for condonable reasons, an alternative to contributions to discussions will be offered.
