Course Details – Assessment Method
Assessment varies depending on the modules you choose, usually a combination of exams and coursework.
We acknowledge that all students perform differently depending on the way they are assessed. This is why we use a range of assessment methods and a combination of exams (typically 40%) and coursework (typically 60%) for each module, though some practical modules are assessed by coursework only.
•Exams may include multiple choice, short answer, problem-based learning and essay questions
•Coursework may be in the form of fieldwork/practical reports, data handling, GIS maps, oral presentations, poster presentations, group discussions, essays or practical skills evaluations
Some assignments are done in groups. Your final year research project will be assessed by literature review and scientific write-up.
